True or not (and it really is hard to tell with the level of rhetoric in this campaign) it is an unusual step for an incumbent to have to create a web page like this.

I think the polls are telling you she does not have anything "on" the Brampton voters. Her path to Mayor was fairly simple, I think she had been on council (city and region) for 10+ years before she took a run for office against then Mayor Robertson in what (if I recall correctly) was a fairly close vote.
During her term on council, she had gained the rep as a hard working consensus builder focused on low taxes, balanced budgets and building business within the city. During her first terms in office (and actually until about half way through this term) there was very little controversy surrounding her performance.
Watched the Regional Councillor 2-6 debate on Rogers...
it just verified my thought that John Hutton is long, long past due date and it would a crime to return him to Council (he still has a 5,700. bill to pay from the City)...he should just retire to his gardens
suprisingly Palleschi the younger is a viable candidate...
Naraine (the angry candidate), Jopal and Jassal (both young and informed) are all head shoulders above Hutton...
I have the debate on pvr....but Jassal has impressed me on twitter with some of his thoughts...can't agree with everything he says but he is willing to engage and even the answers I get that I don't agree with seem well thought out...unlike, say, Ros Feldman
I don't understand why they seem all hot to for a university in Brampton...Post secondary enrollment is dropping...Why not kill two birds with one stone make sure the new Health Centre coming is a teaching hospital with Sheridan Brampton and Georgian Oranganville heavy in Life Sciences....

A rather bizarre interview with Fennell.
It's certainly delusional to expect taxpayers to swallow a $1156 a month phone bill...
Susan Fennel does not have a problem with the way her spending has been reported. She has a problem with her spending. This has been confirmed by a number of sources. Brampton voters will judge her appropriately.
Are you seriously suggesting some kind of Ontario-wide media conspiracy here?
Well, in Susan Fennell's own words, this is not about the grey areas of padded expense accounts, it is a battle simply between good and evil. "I believe I’ll win, because I believe that truth trumps evil, and what is being done to my name and my reputation is pure evil."
I take it you're on the side of good...

Scandal-plagued Brampton mayor Susan Fennell is addressing media at 11:15. Any ideas? #brampoli
