And now it comes down to a single day. Now the voters send their message. Do we condone the corruption of our democracy that has played out behind closed doors for the past 4 years, or do we demand better...for all of us. VOTE!

[Greg Miller @GregMillerSTC]

Monday is Election Day. I’ve talked to thousands of my neighbours about my vision for our community. Now I need your support and your vote to ensure we can work together on a better, fairer St. Catharines!

Vote Miller for Merritton!

@pbutterpete @ABetterNiagara @OurTimeFortErie . 100% Pete, Sandy Annunziata and his cohorts have run the region and the NPCA into a national pit of embarrassment and shame. The residents of Niagara pay the price for their incompetence..it's time to turn the page. They will be a smudge on our history.

[Ed Smith @ABNEdSmith]

Do not forget who these Councillors are, @BruceTimms must be held to account. Vote on Monday, vote him out. This man demanded of me in a legal document, that I surrender the names of fellow citizens to the NPCA. All in an effort to silence us.

[Grant LaFleche @GrantRants]

"On Monday, Niagara voters head to the polls in what could be the most noteworthy municipal election in the history of the Region."

Opinion | EDITORIAL: Thankfully, this regional term at an end https://t.co/5D5XM6Tvqs

[Ed Smith @ABNEdSmith]

The best thing the citizens of Ft Erie can do is to educate themselves as to what @OurTimeFortErie Sandy Annunziata has been doing with his time at Council and at the NPCA. You have the power on Monday, please use it wisely.

[Ed Smith @ABNEdSmith]

Here it is people, the final video. If you vote wisely you may never watch me again on video:) VOTE. This is our time Niagara, We must hold them accountable, and that means VOTE! If you don't VOTE, we'll make another video. Fair warning.

This is exactly why we vote. People of Niagara we have to end this on Monday. You must educate yourself and vote.

A Better Niagara is proud of our endorsement of Karrie Porter for St. Catharines Ward 4 (St. Patrick's). A strong community leader committed to integrity and accountability in St. Catharines.

@cindyforster @AndrewWGill @NiagIndependent @NiagaraRegion @ABetterNiagara @GrantRants @610CKTB I am pretty good at ignoring the gnat flies of life and paying attention to the elephants in the room. That publication is not an elephant in this room. We take everything they do to tear us down as a compliment on how effective we are. Fear, thy name is cabal.

@perry_schlanger @a_bettter @rmhardwick @7926rw @L__Ip @GranthamCitizen @ABetterNiagara @NiagaraRegion @GimpMskNGagBall @ForNiagara @StCatStandard @dzimmermangrap1 @JeffBurch_ @Realtyvoice @lizcdn @seanpolden The bottom line for A @ABetterNiagara is Integrity, Transparency and Accountability. Party affiliation has nothing to do with any of that, at least not for us. Any talk of partisan politics is something we have no interest in.

[Emily Spanton @whatdoesntkillu]

In late August 2016,@ABNEdSmith showed me what he'd compiled on the @NPCA_Ontario through the FOI process; my life hasnt been the same since.

For over 2 yrs citizens have pleaded to be heard, Oct 22 VOTE.
