Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie has repeatedly argued her city should be its own municipality. Ford has publicly backed the idea, most recently at a news conference on Monday."I've always been for an independent Mississauga. You can't have a city the size of Mississauga — close to 800,000 people, and it is continuing to grow — being tied into other jurisdictions," Ford said.
She added that the move would fulfil a promise Ford made to former Mississauga mayor Hazel McCallion and that it makes sense for Mississauga and Brampton to "go our separate ways.
