Cornwall Ontario – Can you imagine a magazine called “Cornwall Living” not really about living in Cornwall? The vanity magazine is grossly subsidized by Bob Peters and the City via its Economic Development department. You can’t blame TC media who simply are trying to run a business, but when City Staffers are about to […]
Cornwall Ontario – What a weird world the internet and social media are molding. Out of the pain, fear, and suffering connected to the terrorist attack in Manchester this week an old nasty hate filled man decided to “steal” some poetic words. It worked too with many praising him on social media. Only […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – It’s ironic. Even though Brockville is very different than Cornwall Ontario there’s a certain snooty nasty Eastern Ontario Conservativeness that exists there. Brockville loves to look down their noses at Cornwall and many times there’s cause. Ironically it’s how MPP Steve Clark originally cot into power as Brockville mayor (he served […]
Cornwall Ontario – I normally am for anything that helps the economy of this community, but a recent move to support fireworks sales in Cornwall just makes no sense? One of the biggest runaway areas of our budget in Cornwall are our Fire Services. We have one of the highest rates of fires in Ontario. Lower […]
Cornwall Ontario – I received an email from a college alumni today. They wanted to use a CFN photo of a certain politician. This numpty financially boycotts this newspaper. His track record is he got elected back home because of his family name after failing at the political game in a much bigger pond. He’s […]
Cornwall Ontario – Monday was a rainy drizzly day in Cornwall. Apparently our mayor, not big on original thought or ideas of his own, tried to team up with another sizzling mind in MP Guy Lauzon to have a partisan party in Lamoureux Parc at taxpayer expense. Did you know about it? I didn’t. […]
Even allowing for the astonishing pyrotechnics of current American politics, the Canadian journalistic reaction has been rather disappointing. Canadians have a unique ring-side seat on American personalities and events, and flatter themselves that they know that country better than any other foreigners do. Perhaps because of the garishness of American politics, the immense amounts of […]
Cornwall Ontario – I live in a very strange community. Here in Cornwall the people that clean city hall can’t run for council. Yet Elaine MacDonald, President of the Labour Council, can. That’s letting the fox in the henhouse when it comes to the staff that make the city work. Likewise it tends […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Cornwall City Council finally agreed at a residential tax hike for this budget of just under 2%. Much gnashing of teeth and rendering of garments as Councilor Elaine MacDonald and her pet monkey bemoaned the small increase after failing to bump it up to near 3%. “We are looking at this the wrong […]
What a pleasure to come on my Facebook page and not have to see all the “cop-sucking” by the tin pot dictator running the right wing rag in CONwall. The crime-infested SEWER polluted with HATE MONGERS. The city where city council knows the people are not “intelligent enough to elect city councilors” I could not […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – This morning I received a release from a major Home Store chain. It was professionally written and normally I’d be intrigued. I emailed back explaining that we’d love to assist, but that we generally don’t do so for businesses that boycott us. That means if we have never sold an ad […]
Cornwall Ontario – One of the biggest problems in managing the school system in Ontario are the multitude of school boards and weakness of politicians to make the right decisions. Four year terms pass fast, and making a decision like closing a school or library can cost at election time as many have threatened on […]
Cornwall Ontario – There’s a reek of petty desperation and vote buying in the latest cookie being tossed to voters in Ontario. At the end of the day many see through it though. Lindsay, Hamilton, and Thunder Bay have been chosen for a pilot project for guaranteed minimum incomes. $50M divided by 4,000 […]
Legislation Includes Rent Control Reform, Eviction Protections to Keep Rentals Affordable Ontario has introduced new legislation that would, if passed, help keep rental housing costs predictable and affordable while strengthening protections for tenants across Ontario. The Rental Fairness Act, 2017, would address rising rental costs faced by people in Ontario by expanding rent control to […]
Cornwall Ontario – A CFN viewer emailed in upset over an alleged cover up over a missing gun from the armoury. We get lots of information from the public. Each case has to be evaluated and of course verified because even a gonzo newspaper has to tell the truth. The Armoury is home to the SD&G […]
Statement by Chief Charles Bordeleau | Morgentaler Clinic Demonstrations The Ottawa Police Service monitors and responds to hundreds of events, demonstrations and protests in the National Capital Region on an annual basis. Each of these events has its own unique challenges, and it is our role to keep the peace and ensure a safe and […]
Cornwall Ontario – Viewer comments at their best add immensely to the news consuming experience. At their worst…well anyone that’s read a facebook debate knows what I typeth of. Here at CFN we’ve always adhered to our vision and mission statements. CFN is an online newspaper whose Mission is to give voice to the […]
Cornwall Ontario – I live in a very strange community. Ignorance and corruption are literally destroying our local economy. Now two of the main three media are for sale, and the Standard Freeholder is rumored to be wobbly. Corus Radio chopped its newsroom staff a few years ago as well. It’s getting harder to […]
