Recently, Sarnia City Councillor Bill Dennis posted a meme of Rosa Parks with a caption that read Fuck Your Rules. This was a calculated act of spectacle. It was a hijacking of a Black revolutionary icon to shield a position of settler-colonial entitlement.

Bill Dennis is playing a familiar, tired game of Trump-style politics. He is publicly announcing a run for Mayor and then immediately pivoting to outbursts designed to embolden a base through rage-baiting.
