Its somber tone acknowledges that while being a city of opportunity for some, Mississauga is also the traditional territory of indigenous people whose history is subject to erasure. With Mississauga Goddam Gibb also alludes to Nina Simone’s “Mississippi Goddam”, suggesting that suburbia is a battleground for LGBT equality.
