MISSISSAUGA WATCH --Invitation to Mississaugans

[The Mississauga Muse]

All Hail Mississaugans!

Just lettin' you-all know that The Mississauga News has kindly given me space on their website for a BLOG that I hope will provide a platform for citizens to discuss --whatever related to municipal governance in general and Mississauga in particular.

The BLOG has a Comments Section that I hope will make it possible for people to Talk Story. I have to tell you though, (regrettably) that the discussions can't be as open-and-unfettered as the free-skating we have here in our TO Forum.

Still.

It's a start. I hope to motivate someone to start up a GTA forum like this one because the Comments section in a BLOG is directly from The-Better-Than-Nothing-Department and not the Sweet Swing we have here.

I believe that a GTA forum of some sort might be useful for us GTAers. After all, GTA means Greater TORONTO Area.

We're the surrounding GTA municipalities but TORONTO wags all our dogs. I see that as a GOOD thing.

Anyway. I haven't quite figured out how to format the days' entries logically (right now entries go bottom-to-top and that might not be best). No matter. The current format also comes directly from The-Better-Than-Nothing-Department.

Here's the URL.

Re: Mississauga Watch

Congratulations on your new blog, I saw it for the first time yesterday.

Good to know that we apparently now have two "watchdogs" on the job (you and your good-looking dog!)

Hopefully constructive hint: Please try to minimize the content in CAPITAL LETTERS, it's harder to read, and some people take offense.

Best wishes! I'll be reading!

Ho boy was it ever a constructive hint! Once I un-CAPITALed most of the words in one Blog, I liked the effect so much I went and reworked all four others.

Took me ta' near half an hour, that's how many CAPITAL words there were.

I'm so grateful for your "constructive hint", Observer.

My sheepdog-watchdog "Mississauga" wants to say something too.

*woof*

Translation: "Lord knows I tried to give her the same constructive hint but would she listen, NO."
