This is a really beautiful tribute to Mr. Jim Bradley. I hope you read it. tvo.org/article/jim-br…

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.

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

Thanks Laura Ip (she/her) for these quotes. AMO is offering courses and information for candidates through their Healthy Democracy project. Check out the website at amo.on.ca for more information.

NEWS | Regional Councillor Laura Ip reacting to governance changes in Niagara. Details: 610cktb.com/regional-counc…

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.
