Chris Bittle’s Legacy of Inaction: It’s Time for Real Change in St. Catharines

As we approach the upcoming election, it’s time to look closer at the representation St. Catharines has received under Chris Bittle. Let’s examine his latest flyer for the Niagara area. One thing becomes abundantly clear—there is a glaring absence of specific initiatives or accomplishments that truly benefit St. Catharines or the wider Niagara Region. This lack of focus on local issues raises serious concerns about his priorities.

It’s telling that Chris Bittle’s official biography on his website hasn’t been updated since 2021. This glaring omission speaks volumes about his lack of real accomplishments over the past few years. Instead of showcasing new initiatives or progress, Chris Bittle seems content to rest on his laurels, relying on past achievements and his connection to the Liberal Party’s broader successes.

The outdated content suggests that Chris Bittle has been more focused on maintaining his status within Ottawa’s political elite than on delivering meaningful results for St. Catharines. While he highlights his roles and titles, there’s little evidence of tangible actions or significant local impact since 2021. It’s clear that his time in Ottawa has been spent more on networking with political insiders than on addressing the pressing needs of our community. His own website inadvertently reveals a pattern of coasting on past work rather than actively pushing for the change our community deserves.

Chris Bittle’s quarterly flyer is yet another reminder of his disconnect from the real needs of St. Catharines. Instead of highlighting his own initiatives or concrete actions taken to improve our community, the flyer is filled with broad accomplishments of his party. While the Liberal party’s achievements may be notable on a national level, what has Chris Bittle himself done for St. Catharines?

The absence of personal accomplishments in these updates suggests that Chris Bittle is more focused on echoing his party’s talking points than on delivering tangible results for his constituents. His reliance on party successes rather than showcasing his own efforts highlights a concerning lack of initiative. Once again, Chris Bittle’s communication with the community seems more about maintaining his political image than about addressing the local issues that matter most to us. It’s time for representation that puts St. Catharines first, with real actions and accountability—not just party rhetoric.

Throughout his tenure, Chris Bittle has relied heavily on the achievements of his party, often touting them as if they were his own. But what has he done for the people of St. Catharines? Paid by the taxpayers of this community, Chris Bittle seems more interested in attending high-profile events, enjoying complimentary meals with his family, and maintaining his social media presence by bullying others and rubbing shoulders with elite acquaintances in Ottawa. This behaviour leaves little room for meaningful actions that directly benefit his constituents.


As your representative, I intend to be in St. Catharines as much as physically possible because my work, my focus, and my dedication are rooted right here in our community—not in Ottawa, where endless political bickering and finger-pointing dominate the agenda. I believe that real change happens on the ground, where we live, work, and raise our families, not in the echo chambers of Parliament where politicians are more interested in blaming each other for government failures than in finding solutions.

I am committed to being a constant, visible presence in St. Catharines, actively engaging with you, listening to your concerns, and working alongside you to address the issues that matter most. Whether it’s improving our local infrastructure, supporting small businesses, enhancing public safety, or ensuring access to quality healthcare and education, my priority is to make sure your voice is heard and that your needs are met. This community deserves leadership that is truly invested in its success—leadership that doesn’t just pay lip service to the problems we face, but actually rolls up its sleeves and gets to work.

It’s time for a representative who prioritizes St. Catharines over partisan politics, who values action over empty promises, and who is committed to making a real difference where it counts. I am that representative, and I am ready to serve you with the dedication and integrity our community deserves.
