Cornwall Ontario – There’s a buzz in the air emanating from Queen’s Park. The politicos are murmuring as social media buzzes about a cabinet meeting and closed door caucus session of the Wynne government for today. Speculation is that either there will be a snap election called as expected or that Wynne will pull a […]
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 – Many Cornwallites are crying fowl, and heading down the 401 to check out the Big Rubber Duck in Brockville this weekend as the 61 foot cutie will settle on the town’s picturesque waterfront. Locals can still celebrate the pooping of the geese in Lamoureux Parc. While not as exciting as the duck, […]
Cornwall Ontario – A war seems to be waged from the Cornwall Fire Services against Cornwall City Councilor Mark A MacDonald?

Ottawa Ontario – I must admit that our visit to the St Albert’s Cheese Factory yesterday started out as a bit of a lark. After reading David Akin’s post on Twitter that Justin Trudeau would be visiting the cheese factory, we decided to go over and see him. The original intention was to try to […]
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 […]
The Fire Master Plan deals directly with our “needs” and this not one of them. This is one of a number of issues that should be addressed by the new FMP Committee. The FMP points out very clearly that our citizens would be safer and better served if our fire service was meeting our basic […]
Ottawa Ontario – There is a point with every political attack on an opponent when you have to put a leash on it and move on to another issue. Staying on an issue too long gives your opponent time to get organized and counter attack, thereby limiting your impact. Both the Khadr and Rolling Stone […]
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.

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 – The City of Cornwall seems to have blinked and now will allow Pastor Tom Newton of the Calvary Baptist Church in Cornwall to use public spaces at Lamoureux Park while the Jehovah’s Witnesses have their confab this year. We broke the original story MAY 30th LINK Pastor Newton published a note in […]
Cornwall Ontario – Apparently the in camera meeting Monday night was so heated that voices could be heard outside of the township building, but it looks like a lot of steam, but no changes for South Glengarry. With at least two councilors out for blood apparently one vote slipped back saving the jobs of CAO […]
Cornwall Ontario – PC leader Patrick Brown has been criticized for not taking positions, but the PC war room issued another clear stance today.

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 […]
