Bob Gale has resigned as chair of the Regional Municipality of Niagara amid calls for an apology from local anti-racism groups that claim he owns a copy of Adolf Hitler’s book.
Gale submitted on Wednesday a letter to Rob Flock, the Ontario minister of municipal affairs and housing, stating that his resignation was effective immediately.
“Today, a member of the communist party circulated a dated document that listed my name as the owner of a historical book found in many libraries,” Gale wrote in his letter to Flack.
Earlier Wednesday, the Niagara Region Anti-Racism Association and the Justice 4 Black Lives Niagara issued a joint release alleging that Gale purchased and owned a copy of “Mein Kampf,” Hitler’s political manifesto, signed by the Nazi leader.
It’s an historic document. The latter day Nazi Karens would burn all of us at the stake on the flimsiest of pretexts.
