Niagara Chair Bob Gale resigns over art collection, including alleged ‘Mein Kampf’ book signed by Hitler

In a stunning move, no one saw coming, Niagara Regional Chair Bob Gale, has resigned.

Gale, who was appointed to the Chair’s position following the death of Jim Bradley, has written his resignation letter to the same office which appointed him.

The reason is Gale’s personal collection of art and artifacts, which according to documents, include a copy of ‘Mein Kampf’ signed by Adolf Hitler.

Gale alleges a member of the communist party circulated a ‘dated document’ that listed his name as the owner of a historical book found in many libraries.

“When I undertook the necessary work to start fixing the issues at the Niagara Region, there was
a strong vocal minority who decided they would stop at nothing in order to keep their fiefdoms and addiction to power and tax dollars. They wish to paint a picture that is untrue and hurtful to my family, my friends, and those in Niagara that believe in the hard work I have undertaken. This work is bigger than any one person, including me. This is about making the changes for the people of Niagara who desperately need and deserve change. I want to thank the Regional staff for their dedication, and the Mayors who supported my recommendations.”

He goes on to give his resignation:

“Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from my position as Regional Chair of the
Niagara Region, effective immediately. The Churchill piece in my collection states the following: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” I hope that you will continue this path in support of taxpayers.”
