Timeline

1950

Michael D. Hurst (born 9 March 1950) is a municipal politician in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

1982

He practiced law in private life, and unsuccessfully campaigned for the Windsor city council in 1982.

1987

Hurst was elected to the Windsor City Council during a by-election in 1987, and was re-elected the 1988 municipal election.

He represented the city's first ward.

1988

He was the only member of the Windsor council to vote against a financial bailout for the Windsor Symphony Orchestra in 1988, arguing that the orchestra was making itself financially unviable by spending too much money on new members.

1990

In the late 1990s, he championed a successful plan to construct an office tower complex for Chrysler Canada Ltd.

1991

He served as 32nd Mayor of the city of Windsor from 1991 to 2003, and oversaw several major changes in the city's development.

Hurst was born in Windsor, and holds Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees from the University of Windsor.

Hurst increased his public profile in early 1991, when he emerged as a prominent opponent of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's decision to shut down its Windsor-area news department.

He was quoted as saying, "We're bombarded by American culture here and the CBC was something that really helped keep us Canadian".

Hurst supported a relaxation of Canada's Sunday shopping laws for communities on the American border, arguing that this step would counter the effects of cross-border shopping on the local economy.

He opposed a restrictive shopping law brought forward by the province of Ontario in early 1991.

Hurst was elected Mayor of Windsor in the 1991 municipal election, defeating local magazine publisher Jerry Woloschuk.

The incumbent mayor, John Millson, did not seek re-election in order to spend more time with his family.

Hurst renewed his opposition to Sunday shopping legislation after the election, and indicated that he might attempt to circumvent the law through legal means.

1992

He welcomed a 1992 ruling by the Ontario Municipal Board which allowed Sunday shopping in much of Windsor to promote tourism.

Hurst announced in 1992 that he would support the construction of a casino for Windsor, to be built by private enterprise and leased to the province.

He argued that fifty million Americans lived within driving distance of the city, and that a casino would greatly improve the city's threatened economy.

1993

Hurst criticized the provincial government in April 1993 for cancelling a plan to relocate government jobs from Toronto to other communities.

The Rae government had planned to decentralize the public sector after coming to office but was forced to change its plans in the face of a serious recession.

Hurst also welcomed the return of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation operations to Windsor in 1993.

1994

The plan was accepted by the provincial government of Bob Rae, and casino operations were opened to the public in 1994.

Despite concerns about the long-term viability of a casino-centred economy, the project encountered relatively little organized opposition from the local community.

On opening night in 1994, Hurst proclaimed, "These are momentous days for Windsor. Windsor is a city of hope."

One year later, with the casino generating strong revenues, he said, "It's changed the city forever."

1996

The Windsor City Council voted to license escort services in 1996, as a means of providing legal protection for vulnerable sex-trade workers.

Hurst opposed the licensing law, although he later acknowledged that it did not generate any complaints.

1997

In 1997, Hurst criticized the provincial government of Mike Harris (who succeeded Rae as premier in 1995) for introducing a bill to give the province extensive powers over public sector unions.

He argued that it was unhelpful and unnecessarily confrontational.

He also criticized the government's downloading of provincial services to the municipalities, arguing that the municipalities lost money from the arrangement.

Hurst was himself asked to run for Harris's Progressive Conservative Party in a 1997 by-election, but declined.

1998

The permanent Casino Windsor building was opened in 1998.

Hurst also made several efforts to build a new arena in downtown Windsor, although these plans were beset with various delays.

1999

This opened up continuous public access for over 5 kilometers " a jewel in the Crown for the City of Windsor "

In 1999, Hurst accused provincial cabinet minister Steve Gilchrist of putting himself in a conflict-of-interest situation by suggesting his personal lawyer as a government contact.

Hurst says that he rejected the offer outright; Gilchrist denied having seriously made the offer.

Hurst later indicated that he would not enforce the Harris government's laws against panhandling.

2002

In 2002, two city employees were fired over allegations of the misleading council over lease agreements with MFP Financial Services.

2003

In 2003, he commended Harris's successor Ernie Eves for promising to invest $625 million over five years in the auto sector.
