CFN – With the Harper Government now proceeding at full throttle to push through the Northern Gateway oil pipeline to supply China, an unexpected crack has appeared within the governing party’s ranks. Calgary West Ultra-Right Conservative MP Rob Anders is publicly questioning the proposal to sell Canadian “Ethical Oil” resources to non-ethical Communist China, despite Ezra Levant’s [...]
CFN- Like last century’s master of propaganda, Josef Goebbels, Sun Media columnist and “Ethical Oil” creator Ezra Levant is no idiot. Goebbels had a Doctorate degree in German literature – Levant graduated from the University of Alberta Law School. Both these gentlemen used the press effectively and to their advantage (Goebbels in Der Angriff and [...]
TO: Cornwall Free News RE: Ezra Levant – Friend of China, but Foe to Canadians December 31, 2011 Editor: Contrary to the innuendo in this article, no business connection exists between the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers and Ezra Levant. Nor does CAPP provide funding to the growing ethical oil movement based on Mr. Levant’s book and [...]
Putting the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers above Canada CFN – There are many economic gains to be made in exploiting the Tar Sands, and limited production could actually benefit Canada and go a little towards assuring our future in an increasingly uncertain world. But there are also many major short term gains to be [...]
CFN – Prime Minister Stephen Harper, along with his government, owe sophist (someone who argues with shrewd but intentionally fallacious reasoning) Ezra Levant a star columnist for Sun Media and the Glenn Beck Fox News North) big time, and are starting to repay the debt. Levant’s whole career has been tied to or sponsored by [...]
Cornwall ON – Once again, the TV Consortium has decided to exclude the Green Party Leader, Mike Schreiner, from the televised leaders’ debate, to be broadcast September 27. Although other provincial broadcast consortia have (or are planning) to allow their provincial Green Parties into the debate (e.g. PEI), the Ontario consortium is following the lead [...]

Although he has been campaigning for a while now, with the official opening of the Liberal campaign office on Pitt and Seventh in Cornwall, the campaign is now in high gear.Through talking to voters [...]
Cornwall ON – This weekend will see a meeting of Canada’s Federal, Provincial and Territorial Energy ministers, hosted by the Province of Alberta and the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. The meeting is expected to cost about $600,000 – significantly more than it needs, as much of it will take place in Calgary. Accommodation costs [...]
Cornwall ON – Now that the election is coming to its climax, the inevitable question arises: Is it worth voting, and if so, for whom? Guy Lauzon For someone who is already 67, and who will be over 70 when the next election is called, Guy Lauzon, the Conservative incumbent, has campaigned remarkably well. However, [...]
Cornwall ON – Since last autumn, gas and diesel prices have gone up by about 30%, and are showing no signs of stabilising, never mind dropping. One of the main culprits is Libya, which, prior to its civil war, was producing about 1.8 million barrels a day (somewhat more than all Alberta production). The second [...]
Cornwall ON – Did you know that every first of October is now “National Seniors (sic) Day” in Canada, as reported last October (unfortunately, after the fact) by the Seaway News? Most seniors probably missed this momentous event, especially with more pressing concerns such as healthcare, the ever-rising costs of food, energy and housing, and [...]
Cornwall ON -For some years now, Canadian mining and exploration companies have been coming under fire in South America and other under-developed nations for serious human rights and environmental abuses. Canada has always prided itself in its human rights record, and even has a “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” to prove it. However, Cornwall MP [...]
According to various environmental organisations, the BC Government is not going far enough with its proposed health study into the impacts of the oil and gas industry in the province.

Cornwall ON – Two weeks ago, if one were to ask someone to name the leader of the Green Party, quite often the answer would have been a blank look. This election, however, any even semi-informed voter would answer Elizabeth May, thanks to the major media companies once more trying to shut her out of [...]
Cornwall ON – The political attack ads that are overwhelming Canadian TV channels have one purpose only – to make the viewers think the opposition parties are all led by incompetents who do not deserve to be Canadian. All the same, there are disadvantages to basing the next election campaign on attack ads. When people [...]
Cornwall ON – The next Canadian federal election is always cropping up in news stories, with a general theme that the only reason we have not had one long ago is that the three main opposition parties do not want one. The Liberal party is seemingly leaderless and has so far been unable to attract [...]
Cornwall ON – Prime Minister Harper, along with local MP and PMO spokesman for Sport Gary Lunn are taking the threat from Elizabeth May and the Green Party seriously. With an election possible at any time, every riding is important to Harper in his quest for reelection and his effort to hang onto the leadership [...]
Cornwall ON – Although Canadians are not yet following the Tunisian and Egyptian lead in bringing down the Harper or McGuinty governments, they would be wise to follow events in the Near East closely, for they will surely have an unpleasant impact here. In the late 1970s, popular uprisings led to the downfall of the [...]
