CFN – I’ve always had mixed feelings about Christmas. Being Jewish; at least culturally, it’s something I’ve always seemed to look at through a glass window. Later in life, I shared Christmas with my wife and got into a lot of the fun of it. The tree; the village; theContinue Reading
CFN – Are you tired of children being used as pawns in the Teacher/Ontario Government scrap over Bill 115? I just viewed this commercial and am totally disgusted by the OSSTF.

CFN – It’s odd that the tragedy that name “Sandy” has wrought on us all in 2012? No one will ever forget Hurricane Sandy, the perfect storm that devastated so many on the East Coast of the US and now the Murders at Sandy Hook Elementary; a school that serves about 450 kids fromContinue Reading

CFN – You can’t buy time. It really is the most valuable commodity on our little blue marble and something we all take for granted far too often. I know I’m always guilty of that. It’s not that I do it on purpose, but things spin out of control. IContinue Reading

CFN – As many of you know; alright as some of you may know, journalism has been a accidental path for me. It’s not that I don’t like it. In fact it’s recharged me as a writer and given me new skills and approaches that I’d never have discovered otherwise.Continue Reading
CFN – It’s interesting how spin plays. Sometimes spin is truth and sometimes spin is total fabrication. That’s why spin can be an effective tool or someone’s downfall and should always be used, if necessary, in measured doses. A review of local news websites show that only two allowContinue Reading
