Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Aliens circle city hall, Did Martians circling over Mississauga recently mistake the city hall complex for a control tower and landing pad? Or did the city sign a contract with the $9.5 million cost overrun? Councillor Larry Taylor agrees the council chamber looks like a landing pad that could be used for an April Fools' Day prank.
