CFN -Can any of you figure out this gobbeldygook? I can’t either. It looks like the mayor and council are trying to sneak some procedural and by law stuff through the minutes for actions taken in camera.
I could be wrong? It sure is boggling….These are from the agenda tonight at the very end of the meeting. Could this be a sneaking through of motions taken in secret?
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE COUNCIL OF THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF CORNWALL ENACTS AS FOLLOWS:
1. (a) That the following Minutes of the Public Meetings of the Municipal Council of The Corporation of the City of Cornwall be and the same are hereby adopted:

Is this how you want your city run? There’s a rally at 6:45 outside of City Hall tonight before the 7 PM Council meeting, the meeting after the regularly scheduled in camera rehearsal meeting.
What do you think Cornwall? You can post your comments below.
Real democracy requires non bias journalism. Thank you for all you do keeping an eye on the business of the people. We are the shareholders and we have a right to know. Thank you
Based on term 5 of the document, it seems that they already are aware, that there might be certain aspects of the by law that are bad, illegal or both. Therefore the rest is severed from this, and only the pieces that are bad have to be rescinded.
Talking of bad, i have never seen that word in a legal notice. But our clerk is bilingual so that is a definite plus
Has anyone contacted National media to garner national attention to this BS yet?
We were on Bourque News Watch today. I think we still might be there….
That picture of Kilger speaks for a thousand words where he looks like an old houndog with those droopy eyes. It looks like he hasn’t been sleeping lately at all. Guilty conscience for sure. The face tells all.
TENS OF THOUSANS OF PEOPLE APPARAINTY READ THIS NEWS MEDIA EVERY MONTH . WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU TONIGHT WHEN SUPPORT WAS NEEDED .
JAMIE HAS BEEN PUBLICY EMBARESSED FOR YOU AND THE RALLY OF SUPPORTERS WAS NOT THERE ..HE HUNG HIMSELF ON A LIMB AND YOU HELPED CUT THE LIMB OF……SHAME ON ANY ONE READING THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!….. THAT’S WHY CORNWALL IS AS IT IS ….. AND WILL NEVER CHANGE ……DO YOU WANT CHANGE ?????? ONLY YOU WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN ….DON’T PUT THE ONUS ON ONE MAN !!!!
Jules, you are so wrong. Kilger has been sleeping but in the wrong bed. LOL…LOL…LOL
Cornwall Hockey I didn’t want to go that far in words about Kilger but I knew that. I wanted to say something to that effect of what he was doing which was not sleeping but I don’t want to come out with the words that I want to say. LOL LOL. ROLF! If I came out with what I want to say Jamie would not be in business if it all went through so I have to be careful of my wording. Many times I get so upset that I would love to jump through the computer and strangle Kilger’s neck and it is a good thing that I am this far from Cornwall because if I were with Jamie yesterday I would have had the BARNEY FIFE POLICE DEPARTMENT there in much less time than what it took for Jamie. Kilger might be dead of badly hurt even with my bum leg.
I am old at 62 and I have never seen so much corruption since Kilger took over. Willy Wise sitting in a jail cell in San Franciso CA and Kilger, and company should all be down there sharing a cell. I feel so badly for Willy’s parents because they left a mighty bad regime where they lived in Russia to give their child a better life and that is what he did to them – he gave them a slap on the face. These people made sure that Willy had a good education and that was his thanks. If you hang out with the wrong people “like Kilger and company” that is what happens.
@ Bob Noble….just because the site has many hits, does not mean everyone supports CFN’s point of view. Personally, I only check out the site to see what Jamie’s “clique” is bitching about on a daily basis. For most, CFN provides a good chuckle.
Smitty at least Jamie isn’t up to corruption like Kilger and company nor pressing any buttons to get Cornwall’s BARNEY FIFE POLICE DEPARTMENT’S attention for the tiniest and craziest matters. I saw one cop yesterday that was wanting to laugh and he couldn’t because he had to act professionally. I bet when that was over he went out and had a good laugh for sure wondering what wacky mayor he was working under. That reminds me of the crazy things that children do in the schools that the mayor did. The mayor is not professional whatsoever. He buzzed that button like as if I was there attacking him. He sure was lucky that I wasn’t there that is for sure. I can’t wait to see him gone bye byes for good along with the rest except for a few good ones. I think if Syd Gardner put out any election signs the next time there will be plenty who will be tearing those up for sure. Tit for tat.
Hey Smitty……Have you ever been Raped and assaulted by a judge or a police officer…..if not….then shut up…cause your just part of the problem …….So personally,,,who cares what you think….Cornwall …..The City that Sleeps together………go have lunch with Syd….He’s probably waiting for the grace of your company…..Stop attacking the truth…..The city that made the Dunlop’s have to leave for fear of their safety from these dogs….!
We have every right to question this Hockey Mayor….Cornwall will never be Hockey ville…Because it simply is just Peadoville……and i know of a whole generation who left your friendly Seaway City…..
