Mississauga

Mayor of Mississauga

The mayoral race in Mississauga was noted for the retirement of Hazel McCallion, who had served as the city's mayor since 1978 and often faced only token opposition in past campaigns, thus giving rise to the city's first genuinely competitive mayoral race in many years.[101] The leading candidates were Bonnie Crombie and Steve Mahoney, both former Members of Parliament.[101] A third former MP, Carolyn Parrish, was widely believed to be a potential candidate as well, but instead confirmed her intention to run for a council seat rather than for mayor.[101]

Through much of the year, Mahoney held a consistent but narrow lead over Crombie in public opinion polling, with his lead virtually always falling inside the poll's margin of error.[102] Both candidates' platforms were nearly identical, with the only substantive point of distinction between them being Mahoney's proposal to implement high-occupancy vehicle lanes on some city streets as an interim measure, while working toward the longer-term implementation of rapid transit improvements that both candidates favoured.[102] In early October, however, McCallion made a speech in which, while stopping short of calling it an official endorsement, she appeared to favour Crombie as her successor;[103] the speech almost immediately vaulted Crombie into a 25-point lead over Mahoney.[102]

There were a total of 10 registered candidates.

Candidate [104] Vote % Notes
Bonnie Crombie 102,346 63.49 55. Former Mississauga Ward 5 councillor (2011-2014), former Mississauga—Streetsville MP (2008-2011).

Initial platform is entirely fiscally themed; linking tax increases to inflation, core services review, seek outside advice on City spending, adopt participatory budgeting using social media and crowd sourcing.[105]
Dil Muhammad 2,429 1.51 75. Retired CEO of Pharm Canada and Vivo Canadian.[106]
Stephen King 1,874 1.16

Awareness polls

In mid-September 2014, Mahoney commissioned a poll of 824 people using interactive voice response. Main Street Technologies added the names of the three Toronto mayoral front-runners to Mississauga front-runners' names, to demonstrate Mahoney's observation that many Mississauga residents were unaware of the municipal election or its candidates.[115] Mahoney's internal polling found that 63 to 66% of Mississauga residents are undecided as to their choice for mayor.[116]
