Mississauga, Ontario, the 6th largest city in Canada, is one of very few debt-free cities in the world. Not only is it debt free, they also have 700 million in reserves.
It is run by an 88-year old woman mayor (Hurricane Hazel) who has been elected 11 times and served for 31 years as mayor. She was elected by 92% of the vote and has outlasted 8 prime ministers. You will not believe her energy, mind and spirit.
She was a professional hockey player years ago and still plays hockey. About two years ago she was hit by a truck and knocked down. She was fine but the truck had to go in for repairs! When asked why she hasn't retired she replied "There are still challenges and I don't know what I'd do" (if she retired). "I like to keep busy."
