Cornwall Ontario – One of the biggest problems in Cornwall is the utter failure of charities due to really bad politics. The United Way for example boycotts this newspaper. They also kept missing their funding targets so they no longer have them. Instead of acting like a responsible charity and pursue their mandate they fail […]
Cornwall Ontario – So I was having a beverage with a gentleman I was expecting to run for mayor of Cornwall Ontario. He was bright, successful, connected to the community and had the gift of gab. He was clearly far superior to the only person to put their name forth so far, one David Murphy, […]
Cornwall Ontario – The problem with a lack of community leadership is that issues can bite you in the bum before you realize what hit you. Corruption and political impotence do not lead to a successful community. While the ol rumours and allegations about a certain former mayor’s love for a good game of cards […]
Cornwall Ontario – In the 2014 Ontario municipal election CFN viewers were credited with being the change in Cornwall. Out went one long time corrupt Mayor and politician along with half of his council, and in came a mayor who allegedly stood against the corruption including having resigned during the term as councilor. We now […]
Cornwall Ontario – Justin Trudeau has been an interesting politician. Tailor made for the strange age we live in. He’s visual more than substantial. There have been no great ideas or National directions emanated from him during his entire political career unlike his father, whom whether you agreed or notas PM, clearly was a leader […]
Cornwall Ontario – And it’s on! Premier Doug Ford essentially told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to jam his illegal immigration influx that is costing taxpayers millions of dollars per year and straining resources across the board in Ontario. Trudeau visited the Premier in what appears to be the day after Ontario stopped cooperating when it […]
Cornwall Ontario – This has been a very traumatizing week for a lot of people. Being a mere mortal myself we all only have so much endurance. While getting ready to escape Cornwall to celebrate the Strawberry Moon at a very dear friends joint, the news hit of the five journalists shot dead in Maryland. […]
Cornwall Ontario – What a weird group around the council table Cornwall has. It’s odd, as though some on council have brain function issues….or simply are trying to copy Brockville. Brockville’s art centre renovated an old theatre; with much public money, into a stunning and lovely facility that is a gem and attraction for […]
Cornwall Ontario– Long time Cornwall City Councilor and two time failed Liberal MP candidate Bernadette “Flipper” Clement may step out of the closet and run for Mayor of Cornwall Ontario finally! At least that’s the buzz heating up around the River City! When not using tax dollars at the legal clinic she’s in charge of […]
Cornwall Ontario – Bob Peters swung and missed again for the River City it seems, or he may not even have swung the bat? The Economically Developmentally challenged poobah used public resources to make a splash in applying to have Amazon have it’s HQ2 in Cornwall which was farcical, but made nary a peep about […]
Cornwall Ontario – Ottawa hockey fans are some of the best in the country, and this country has some of the best hockey fans in the world. But the Ottawa Senators are a team on the edge. While many point fingers and pay for billboards delivering the blame at owner Eugene Melnyk there are larger […]
Cornwall Ontario – My gosh there are a lot of little political turdettes that take runs at office! People still don’t get it. Being an elected official is serving the public – that includes people that you might not like or even like you. It means that if you’re successful you have to represent everyone […]
Cornwall Ontario – Thanks to Andrea Horwath Hudaking herself and Kathy Wynne being Kathy Wynne, Ontario has given Doug Ford and his PC party their confidence and elected him as our next Premier! Premier Ford will have a majority government proving that he really was the best choice for the party after the political assassination […]
Ontario’s long-awaited election day is finally almost upon us. There is a unanimous view that the Liberals are finally going to be thrown out, bag and baggage, after four catastrophic terms, when the province was mortgaged to hare-brained alarm about climatology and electricity-generating facilities were shut down and solar energy and other nostrums subsidized as […]
Cornwall Ontario – With reports of Advanced Polling down nearly a whopping 15% in SD&SG clearly abuse by local riding teams and Elections Ontario are leading indicators. Instead of advertising for example, where you’re reading this right now, Elections Ontario advertised with US social media companies. Surely someone should be fired for that? Likewise, the […]
Cornwall Ontario – In what has been a very odd election campaign it appears that Doug Ford has kept his cool and will become Ontario’s next Premier on June 7th. Between the political assassination of former PC leader Patrick Brown to the early concession of Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, it’s been an election of change […]
Cornwall Ontario – Cornwall council has embarrassed the city multiple times over the last few terms. From the Fitzpatrick scandals, to the CFN boycott that included a mayor hitting the panic button over a t shirt he didn’t like, to this writers false arrest during the election while the mayor and his campaign manager were […]
Cornwall Ontario – The buzz finally hit the page as Cornwall City Councilor Andre Rivette leaked to the CBC and then confirmed with CFN, that the issue that led to the CUPE strike is the city asking the union to move from 100% of wages for up to 17 weeks per year of short term […]
