Cornwall Ontario – So after my editorial about Guy Lauzon’s partisan control over Canada Day here in Cornwall a lot of chatter and great ideas have been floated through my inboxes. Clearly many CFN viewers are dismayed at any Politician of any one party controlling our Federal celebration. What has percolated through is that if […]
Cornwall Ontario – I’m a refugee of Quebec. One of the multitude of Anglos that left (along with a lot of Francophones) for a multitude of reasons. I write this the day after helping empty my Mom’s Cote des Neiges apartment and finding an album of pics from the two short films I shot […]
Toronto Ontario – It has been painful to read and watch the asinine Canadian media reaction to the North Korean crisis. The focus has not been on the lunacy of the North Korean regime but on President Trump U.S. President Donald Trump, left, and Chinese President Xi Jinping. It has been painful to read […]
Cornwall Ontario – As most regular CFN viewers know I’m a huge animal advocate. Which is why it was so sad to hear about a little poodle that was killed by yet another alleged Pit Bull in Cornwall. While I don’t support banning of any dog by breed this is yet another example of why […]
Cornwall Ontario – A war seems to be waged from the Cornwall Fire Services against Cornwall City Councilor Mark A MacDonald? At root has been Councilor MacDonald’s position that the city has to come to grip with Fire and other services. Essentially we have to live within our ability to pay and that fire and […]
Cornwall Ontario – I’m a cheater. Yes indeed, with my partner in CFN, Reg Coffey, roasting some of the finest beans in the region I secretly love my Mickey D’s iced coffee. Sadly though the service at our two local drive throughs is utterly and consistently dreadful. Last week I was in line with […]
Cornwall Ontario – Oddly enough our fire and police services are refusing to answer basic questions and information to this newspaper. Questions like how many calls for service the police had from last Friday to Sunday. Where other services voluntarily release that to media, our police service, led by Chief Dan Parkinson, refuses to answer […]
Cornwall Ontario – Social media is abuzz after the robbery of the beloved downtown Riley’s bakery. But after sifting through a lot of pages and talking to a lot of people it appears that at least five other businesses were broken into. The one consistent seems to be that it appeared that all hadn’t been […]
Cornwall Ontario – While the Best Western Parkway Inn & Conference Centre & a few other parties to the Human Rights Tribunal complaint that’s reverberated across Canada have clarified or changed their policies to match the laws of the land, CFN confirmed that the City of Cornwall via it’s high priced Ottawa law firm ( […]
Cornwall Ontario – I’ve always marvelled what anyone can have against the female breast and nipples? Watch television and people have no issues with shows like The Walking Dead which has some of the most senseless and frightening gore I’ve ever seen in my near 53 years on this planet; but show a nipple […]
Cornwall Ontario – It has been published that the Cornwall Community Hospital is rationed 60 hours per day for doctors. That includes emergency where tragically so many end up because they simply don’t have a GP. Clinics are so brutal that the wait times are near what they would be in emergency which compounds the […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s fun watching the election rhetoric ramp up. I think Minister Sandals missed though on this one. Instead of spinning back to Mike Harris perhaps it might have been more on the money to mention that not once did Mr. Brown complain about Prime Minister Harper’s Action Plan that saw millions spent […]
Cornwall Ontario – Sources have confirmed to CFN that City CAO Maureen Adams wanted the Clement Marina Condo project kept in camera, but that some on council stated it wasn’t an in camera issue which led to a 6-5 vote to move the issue to PAC. Because the meeting was in camera CFN cannot confirm […]
Cornwall Ontario – Holy Paul Fitzpatrick! In what seems to be a chapter out of the ol Kilger council, rookie councilor Justin Towndale went public on his social media page with a statement claiming that council was left out of the loop of the Human Rights Tribunal Case of Nekkid Boobies. As many of […]
Cornwall Ontario – Omar Khadr has had a tragic life. We may never fully know the details of what occurred from when he moved from Canada to what would be become a hot mess that resulted in his detention by US forces in Guantanamo Bay Cuba, and ultimately being given an apology by the […]
Cornwall Ontario – Are we being misled by city officials and a land developer? Well… at the very least, a “proposed” condominium development on public waterfront and parkland in Cornwall does seem ominously secretive. Is this condo and capital venture, skirting the proper divestiture of Federal Lands, and is the City of Cornwall sneakily […]
Cornwall Ontario – Another Canada Day in Cornwall. More social media griping, rain, bad fireworks, crappy bands, Cornwall sucks, blah blah. I get it. It’s time though, that if the public want a better Canada Day festivity to take charge. There’s no reason for a sitting MP to be running Canada Day in […]
Canada has, as the French say, the fault of its qualities. Because it is always consensual and never revolutionary, it has relatively less drama than have had the other G-7 countries National Archives of Canada-PA-091061/ THE CANADIAN PRESS The countries that are today the G-7 leading democratic economic powers all underwent radical political changes between […]
