NIAGARA REGION

Mayors’ planned appearances on controversial Fannon podcast raise eyebrows

Bill Sawchuk

Thu., March 18, 2021

Two Niagara mayors are in hot water over individually scheduled appearances on the Jim Fannon controversial podcast which has been a source of misogynistic hate and vitriol.

Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati and West Lincoln Mayor Dave Bylsma are scheduled to join Fannon later this month.

Diodati last year spoke against online harassment directed at himself and other politicians, and vowed to create what he referred to as a social media neutral zone.

Fannon, a former radio host and candidate for the Green party and the mayor of St. Catharines, is almost always an incendiary voice. He has been unapologetic in his skepticism of the effectiveness of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and the science behind them.

He also found himself in hot water more than once for trolling Niagara Region Coun. Laura Ip of St. Catharines, using crude, hateful terms in the process.

In late March, Fannon uploaded a podcast on streaming service BitChute titled “Radical Feminist Pigs and My Twitter Rage and Hate.” For much of the show, he insulted and degraded Ip.

Fannon spent most of the 39-minute video attacking Ip for what he sees as disrespectful Tweets about religion, at one point calling her a “f--ing bigot pig.” He also said he “hates feminists.” During the podcast Fannon also called Ip a “c--t.”

This past weekend, Fannon was at it again. He retweeted a three-year-old post from Ip criticizing controversial Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson. That roused the keyboard warriors who worship Peterson and harass her.

Ip was already under attack by social media trolls for speaking her mind, an ongoing issue in her first-term on council. By Monday, she had enough and called police about some of the abuse which had become threatening.

St. Catharines city Coun. Karrie Porter took to Twitter and defended Ip Wednesday after word of the mayors’ planned appearances became public.

In an interview Thursday, Porter, who has also been troubled by trolls, questioned why the mayors would appear with Fannon and amplify his platform — especially after Fannon’s treatment of a regional council colleague.

“If you are at work, and you work on a team, and then a couple of your teammates, who you might not always agree with, decide to go on a podcast with someone who has said vile things about you and your family, I’m left to wonder why?

“Is it supposed to send a message? The message I’m receiving is that they are all right with it.”

Region Chair Jim Bradley has gone on the record several times this term to express his expectation that councillors will conduct themselves in ways consistent with their code of conduct.

“It is important that councillors take into account the ramifications of any actions they take or statements they make,” he said.

Both Bylsma and Diodati defended their decisions to appear on Fannon’s show.

“Dave Bylsma answers for Dave Bylsma,” he said. “Jim Fannon is not the first media person or show host that I disagree with. He won’t be the last.”

Diodati has been on Fannon’s show before, to discuss his recovery from cancer. That segment was a much more conventional interview that had none of Fannon’s trademark rants.

Diodati asked not to be judged until people hear the coming interview.

“My idea is I want to send a message and talk about diversity,” Diodati said. “COVID has not brought out the best in people, and their feelings have been amplified — anxiety, anger, depression.

“My thinking is that going on his show is not an endorsement. I don’t see it that way at all. If someone else thinks that, I respect that, but we will have to agree to disagree.

“I want to shine light in the darkest corners, and if that involves me under challenging discussions, so be it.

“We have lots of keyboard critics, and it comes with the job, but nobody should make assumptions about what my motives are.”

In late August of 2020, Diodati launched a campaign against online harassment and hate.

At the time, Diodati said he’s creating a social media neutral zone, echoing comments made at the time by Ip and others about online attacks.

In an interview at the time, Diodati said he will no longer allow people to post “hurtful, hateful, vengeful and venomous” comments on his social media pages.

“If other people want to allow it on theirs, that’s their business. But I’m saying publicly, upfront, think before you hit the send button because I will delete your comments and I will block you.”

Fannon, for his part, said his comments about Ip in the spring were a throwaway during the broadcast.

“I had her on my radio show. I took an instant liking to her. I loved that she is intelligent and well-spoken, but I’m not a lefty anymore, and I don’t believe the things I used to believe.”

On Thursday night, Fannon was back online attacking Ip, during which he called her “a dumb f--king c--t” and then said “it’s funny.”
