CFN – Today a Canadian Jury and Judge have taken a stand that many will applaud. Zainab, (19), Sahar, (17), and Geeti, (13) Shafia , as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, their father’s childless first wife in a polygamous marriage were found dead in a vehicle in Kingston Ontario. It was a strange case resulting [...]
CFN – We owe Tea Party Tim Thomas a debt of gratitude. It’s a slow week in the NHL. No major news out there as the All Star break approaches. Nobody really cares about the All Star game so Mr. Thomas deciding to be a totally classless human being is making the news far [...]
CFN – After going to Cornwall City Council for awhile you learn a few things. One, there’s more manure spread than a farm in Spring; and two if someone is on a committee it’s because they have a vested interest or they are doing what they are told. Council also has this wonderful trait [...]
CFN - When I started CFN nearly three years ago my Mission statement was very clear. After being rejected by the big three media in this market I wanted to create a platform where everyone could have a voice and be heard. That experiment and goal has had some great results. As I do [...]
CFN – Local Musician Graham Greer was announced today as the Communications Coordinator of Aultsville Theatre in Cornwall Ontario. cro·ny·ism [kroh-nee-iz-uhm] noun the practice of favoring one’s close friends, especially in political appointments. The former Barstool Prophets lead was quoted on facebook today: It’s official! I AM the new Communications Coordinator for Cornwall’s Aultsville Theatre. I’m VERY excited to be taking on this new [...]
CFN – As someone who has been up to his eyeballs in pot activism for 9 years, I would classify this Liberal vote to legalize pot as a bamboozle. The delegates did the right thing, and should be commended for their hard work, but the party will likely not follow up on this. Not [...]
CFN – So I’m not seeing it yet. This weekend’s Federal Liberal caucus probably drew more people than the Conservatives and NDP combined. That isn’t necessarily what future government’s are made of; especially if you’re hoping to make up the next one by the time Mr. Harper is done with his first term of [...]
CFN – So how big a role do you think Stephen Harper is going to have on who the next Federal Liberal leader will be? This weekend’s Liberal convention was kinda interesting. Not a lot of surprises. I think my biggest one was seeing Keith Beardsley firing arrows on behalf of his team for IPolitics. [...]
CFN – Dear Federal Liberal Party of Canada. First off, as a former long time Liberal I want to give your current party leader Bob Rae credit for keeping the Liberal brand in the media; more so than the NDP in spite of being brutalized in the last election. Surely this election was not an [...]
CFN – We made it! If you’re reading this we’ve all jumped over the line and are blinking and breathing in 2012. Now I know some of you are fretting and getting all Mayan, but I have a hunch 2012 is going to be a heck of a good year for many. [...]
CFN – I’m reading today about China sticking an online dissident, Chen Xi, to ten years in Jail. Another, Chen Wei was recently given a 9 year sentence. I know; we’re not China…yet. You have the mayor of Toronto cutting off the largest paper in his city because they wouldn’t write what he wanted. [...]
CFN – Los Angeles based Actor/Comic Jason Stuart has written another piece on anti-bullying which he’s released in the Huffington Post and chosen to allow us to release as well. We are going to be doing a feature on Bullying shortly so I thought it was apropos to run his piece! You don’t have to [...]
CFN – That’s a lovely Christmas photo from area photog Calvin Hanson. I can’t think of a better Cornwall Free News photo of the day for this Christmas Day 2011! If you wish to submit your Photo or video of the day email us at info@cornwallfreenews.com Christmas is a time to make wishes too and [...]
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 [...]
CFN – Justin Trudeau sparked a storm of media coverage this week when he called Harper MP Peter Kent a “Piece of Shit” in Parliament. It reminded people of his Dad’s “Fuddle Duddle” remark, but it hits certain notes of frustration that millions of people are feeling around the world. Whether in Syria, Iraq, [...]
CFN – What a weird and tiring week. So much of the energy I had to expend this week was wasted because of some very thin skinned and incompetent people at city hall here in Cornwall. Whenever you enact a policy or law it should be something that makes sense; is grounded in logic [...]
CFN – Well City Council in Cornwall Ontario is done for 2011. The last official non-secret meeting was held Monday night and it was a full agenda! I thought it would be interesting to do a report card for the mayor, council, and key city management. Mayor Kilger: B – In hockey [...]
I read your post on the Cornwall Free News on the border situation and agree that there are more questions than answers concerning border security, policing and setting precedents. We have known for some time that the North American Union is in the works, is always on the back burner and kept away from the [...]
