The Censor Board

Anyone who has been following the social media sites of the City of St. Catharines and Mat Siscoe, who occupies the office of mayor and can seemingly never let a day pass without embarrassing the city, can’t help but notice a disturbing, but hardly surprising trend of late.
That’s right, boys and girls. You are compelled to pay taxes to the City and fund Siscoe’s bank account, but you’re not allowed to comment on selected posts detailing how they’re spending your money. Both keep saying they want our input. Except when they don’t, that is.
It was been particularly evident last month when the City used your money and mine to vandalize the front steps at City Hall. Comments were strictly verboten on any post made by the City or Siscoe featuring the hideous retinal-searing symbol of just how far they’ll go to pander to special interest groups.
But it doesn’t end there.
Siscoe is so thin-skinned that he didn’t even allow comments on the post he made on his meeting with People’s Commissar Doug Ford, the Chairman of the Supreme Soviet for Ontario. Oh sure, he posted plenty of pictures of himself glad-handing the Commissar. Look at me, I’m so wonderful, he’s saying. But you have a thought on that? Keep it to yourself.
It’s no different with the staff and their masters at CUPE. The staff who treat us like we work for them instead of the other way around. The staff who think CUPE is an acronym for Canadian Unelected Policymakers Extraordinaire. They even hid this post that I made regarding a reminder of an upcoming tax installment deadline:
The message is clear.
Pay your taxes and shut up.
CUPE and Siscoe know best.
