Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie is renewing her call for the city to separate from Peel Region, saying "it is time" as she campaigns for re-election. • Crombie, who is seeking a third term as mayor, said on the weekend that Mississauga has outgrown regional government. She said the city covers 60 per cent of the costs but has only 50 per cent of the vote in the region it shares with Brampton and Caledon. • The idea of Mississauga going its own way is not new, but Crombie has given it a new name: "Certainly, this is Mexit." • She said she is determined to finish the job she inherited from her predecessor, Hazel McCallion, to make Mississauga a free and independent city. • Crombie faces seven challengers in the race for the mayor's chair. One says political independence could harm the city. Two support the idea of separation from Peel, but a fourth remains unconvinced. • To read more, click the link in our bio. • • • 📄: Chris Glover, Muriel Draaisma/CBC 📸: Chris Glover/CBC #cbctoronto #cbcto #Mississauga #PeelRegion #BonnieCrombie #Election
