McCallion's strong, well-defined stance on this issue should not be mistaken for unanimity on council as to funding measures. Northern Mississauga councillors Crombie and Saito have broken ranks on proposed parking levies, for example.

Even so, they appear to be the same councilors championing private sector collaboration and consensus around preferred funding measures. McCallion herself seems less worried with council’s mindset and more concerned with Metrolinx matching Mississauga’s level of clarity and confidence.

FWIW, Mississauga's odds of consensus are potentially improved by having only 11 wards to serve a population greater than that of the Hamilton CMA, which is served by 29 representatives, excluding mayors.
