Tampering with Mail

When News Alert Niagara posted a new article under the title:   'What is ‘auditing,’ and why did a YouTuber get shot for doing it?'  we were surprised to learn that the last article that 'we went out of our way' to separately send to the Mayor and Councilors of the City of Welland, Ontario, was met with a notice from each and every Welland Politician had unanimously and in unison blocked our email transmission.

Seated left to right are Councillors: Mary Ann Grimaldi, Leo Van Vliet, Tony DiMarco, Bonnie Fokkens, John Chiocchio. Standing left to right are Councillors: Adam Moote, David McLeod, Graham Speck, Claudette Richard, Bryan Green, Mayor Frank Campion, Jim Larouche, Lucas Spinosa.

.

News Alert Niagara understands if an individual politician wishes to be removed from our mailing list predicated on their wishing not to know or be kept informed. That is their decision and must be respected.

.

However, based on positive feedback to over 400 articles we have produced there is growing suspicion that it is unlikely that the Mayor and Councilors of Welland colluded to unanimously and in unison block our email transmission.

.

For what it's worth News Alert Niagara only publishes actual articles of public interest in its effort to expose corruption. News Alert Niagara never sends advertising or time consuming items that are readily available elsewhere.

.

Still, after several fruitless phone calls to apprise the City of Welland that their emails could be under attack, we are at a loss.

.

This brings up the distasteful specter of unlawful censorship of a Councilor's mail by an unknown person. This could come under under Canada's Criminal Code 193 (1) and 194 (1)
