Hey, it'* harder to spell than Toronto. That counts for something, doesn't it?

Read the second article...lol

Woh. Sounds just like good ole Texarkana... I feel for ya man...

Quite a few BC members have come here for meets etc, so I figured they would understand

Long live the big non-city :?

"Miss-iss-ah-gwa" sounds familiar
(I was just telling Jim last week that I was listening to a radio broadcast of a game between our local New England Collegiate Baseball League team and a team from Connecticut. Someone on the other team was from Mississauga and when the radio announcer tried to pronounce it he came up with something that sounded like "Miss-izz-wahh-gwaah.")

I thought it was Miss ahh gwa... What is it?

That'* what it is...




For anyone else, I was raised by a Texan...don't bother trying to get him to pronounce correctly.


Kidding!!! Kidding, Damemorder!!!

LOL, I'm not as bad as some of the people around here, but I'm sad to say I have picked up the accent a little... And you're right it is a lost cause tryin to get me so sound alomost Canadian, eh?

great article Jim. One thing though i don't live that far from Mississauga and i don't recall a chilly night in August..... "One night last August, as Jamie Shaw stood shivering, with a couple of friends, at the corner of Battleford Rd and Erin Mills Parkway." Mississauga is a great city with a great Mayor. I use to live at Paisley and Hwy 10. Anywhere close to you?
