A Brief Thanksgiving Message from Doug Draper at Niagara At Large
Posted October 10th, 2025
To all of you who visit Niagara At Large at www.niagaraatlarge.com or who follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/doug.draper.180 or who may be joining us for the first time or through shares by others, thank you very much for engaging with us and for recommending our news and commentary site to your friends and associates.
The support you give Niagara At Large through your being apart of our growing readership is what keeps local, independent media alive in a world all too dominated these days by corporate chains.
We also want to wish you all a happy, warm and peaceful Canadian Thanksgiving weekend with your friends and family.
Let’s get together at Thanksgiving and at other events across our region with as many of our fellow Canadians as we can and share our thanks that, during times of darkness across the Canada/U.S. border and in so many other regions of the world, we are living in a country that may not be perfect but that continues to stand for freedom and democracy and the hope of a healthy, fulfilling life for all.

Happy Thanksgiving, Doug Draper
This weekend, as always, show Trump how much we care for our country and oppose his efforts to crush us economically with his tariff war by not crossing the border into the United States and by enjoying the great places we have here.

Hope that you had the chance to enjoy some of the magic of that super-size Harvest Moon this past October 6th. photo taken by Doug Draper on nature trail in Mel Swart Conservation Park. Sights like this are one of the many reasons why it is good to be alive in this world. Just go out and find them.
