I can't believe this needs to be said, but it's needed to be said for months:
If the behaviour is unacceptable when it's directed at you, your friends, or your allies, then it's equally (and I'd argue more) unacceptable when it's engaged in by you, your friends, or your allies

[Howllr 🇨🇦🍁 @howllr]

Eight of Ontario’s largest regional governments — including Niagara — will have their leaders appointed by the province instead of elected.

This reduces local accountability & moves decision-making further from the people it affects.

This is not democracy. This is a power grab.

It's the went out of his way to purchase an original signed copy for thousands of dollars part, which he then also paid to have authenticated and appraised

[Matt Gurney @mattgurney]

Was literally assigned reading for me for my military history studies. I probably still have the copy somewhere in my stacks of books. (It was unreadable dreck, if anyone cares to know — not a repeat read!)

Wondering if it's more the auction part than the owning a copy part.

[Siobhan Morris @siomoCTV]

WOW.

Bob Gale has resigned as Niagara Regional Chair, appointed by the Ford Government in December, Gale has faced pushback for proposing amalgamation.

Today a community member claimed he had a bought a copy of Mein Kampf at auction

A couple of excerpts from Brooks Williams' Performative Outrage.
Highly recommend this read to public servants, elected officials, and candidates for elected office.

[Laura Ip (she/her) @LauraIp4Region]

With municipal elections less than a year away (Election Day is Oct 26, 2026), watch for this.

Governance is about strengthening our communities. It's not about performative outrage as an end in itself. Watch for candidates who are only angry and don't offer viable solutions.

Flags at Niagara Regional Headquarters will be lowered in his memory. Funeral details will be announced in the coming days.

[Laura Ip (she/her) @LauraIp4Region]

I am deeply saddened to share that Chair Bradley passed away peacefully earlier this afternoon.

Since my time on St. Catharines City Council in 2014, when I was the Councillor for the ward in which Mr. Bradley lived, he has always been supportive of my efforts, both in elected
