Brampton’s Susan Fennell highest paid mayor in Canada

Brampton Mayor Susan Fennell presides over Canada’s ninth largest city, but she’s number one across the nation when it comes to mayors’ salaries.

According to reports released last week, Fennell’s city and regional base pay for 2012 earned her $213,727. She received $162,839 from the City of Brampton and $50,888 from the Region of Peel, on whose council she automatically sits as mayor of Brampton.

Across Canada, the next highest mayor’s salary in 2012 was Calgary’s Naheed Nenshi, at $201,839. Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion made $187,057, and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford earned $172,803 in 2012.

Fennell did not respond to a request for comment, but a spokesperson wrote in an email that the salary was decided by a “citizen-based committee” that reviews compensation and makes recommendations “on a research/objective based approach.” The recommended amount was validated by a private evaluation firm as “being in line with comparable public sector organizations.”


Betchya this thread doesn't get much traction either, lolz.

Seems corruption and high pay for city officials is the common in Ontario- Why is the CBC not on this? Inquiring minds want to know.
Where are the Libs and NDP on this.
And the Star reported on it- astounding.

I believe it was on page 6 or 7.

Can you guess what was on page one?

The scandal about cancelling the power plants and that the Police are investigating the Premiers office?
Could run into a billion before it is all done and paid for.

The moral of this story is that it's OK to spend taxpayer's money frivolous things but if one uses their own money to buy crack it's bad reminds me of Clinton's knob polisher incident almost got him impeached while Bush Jr. was responsible for more space requirements at Arlington and that was OK
