CORNWALL Ontario – I had an interesting chat with two of Cornwall’s finest last night.   Mayhem broke out at the Waterfront Committee meeting. CFN and myself were blindsided. For a few years now our high school drop out mayor, Bob Kilger, and some of his friends; I guess becauseContinue Reading

  CFN – That gentleman on the left is Don McCurdy.  He’s the Executive Director  over at the Ontario Press Council. My journey of journalism that now is in its sixth year has been an adventure.It really has. This year Don entered “my movie” although he was supposed to enter lastContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – Team Cornwall held its annual AGM.  Team Cornwall President Gilles Latour, who doesn’t reside in Cornwall; but in nearby Long Sault in South Stormont led the way in ….what I’m not sure.

CORNWALL Ontario – There’s a picture of Elaine MacDonald leading a march down Pitt Street over the health accord in today’s Freeholder. Ms MacDonald must have liked our march over the Chem tanks last month as she’s imitated it; but there are a couple of very scary issues at play.Continue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – There’s a lot of misinformation about myself and CFN out in the community and I thought I’d take this opportunity to clear some of it up. When I first moved here my first job was with our local Habitat for Humanity outlet as their marketing manager.  ItContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – A disturbing trend is occurring so far in the upcoming 2014 Municipal elections in Cornwall Ontario, and that is a total lack of female candidates. As I type these words only 1 out of 13 candidates for office is a woman.    That’s scary.  In nearby SouthContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – So I attended the Chamber mixer at Table 21 Tuesday.    I don’t go to many of these any more because frankly our Chamber here in Cornwall is a colossal joke.  Corrupt, full of cronyism, and totally inept.   From strange elections, to going hat in handContinue Reading
