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. [...]
In Hudak’s opinion piece in the December 13th National Post was an exercise in speciousness. The PC’s just lost an election campaign where they promised MORE spending than any other party. Obviously there is a problem, but the electorate realized that the PC’s were just part of it. Now, suddenly, Hudak has the “fiscal” religion [...]
SD&SG PC MP Jim McDonell during election . In difficult economic times, governments make efforts to implement programs that meet the needs of the population while allowing for economic recovery. In 2009, the Federal Conservative government implemented such a program to encourage renovation and boost the economy, and the results were conclusive since some 380,000 [...]
CFN – If you’re on a fixed income or low wage earner in Ontario you’ll be singing the blues this holiday season; especially if you are one of those that use tax discounters to file your yearly taxes. The governments have changed the way that residents can get their tax credits for the Ontario Energy [...]
And The Finger Points To Let’s take a closer look at who is really responsible for the pollution that’s causing this alleged “Global Warming” or “Climate Change”. Who’s manufacturing cars, buses, trains, ships and planes with polluting engines, that we are forced to use? Who’s having huge crude oil spills, building coal, [...]
Mr. Peter Padbury, Publisher, Standard Freeholder daily newspaper, 1150 Montreal Road, Cornwall, Ontario 9th October, 2011 Dear sir: I am writing to express my disgust with the newspaper of which you are the publisher. I am very well known, throughout this community, for my constant writings in your newspaper whether they be guest columns, specific, targeted [...]
CFN – What an odd end to the Ontario provincial elections. In the “Big Picture” voter turnout was the key factor with the province slumping under the 50% mark. That means that over half of the eligable voters in this province just couldn’t be bothered or care about voting. How many of those that [...]
CFN – The Ontario election has now moved into our history books. It was a relatively dull campaign with few issues that grabbed the imagination of the voter. What made it interesting though was the come from behind victory of the McGuinty Liberals. Each of the federal parties can learn something from this campaign which [...]
CFN – It’s been a long election season. Debate after debate, speech after speech, private moments, heated moments, moments that separate one candidate from another. I can say that at both the local riding level here in SD&SG and at the Provincial level where I’ve seen Tim Hudak barr me from an event thus [...]
CFN – Wow, this 2011 provincial election is almost done. It’s been an ugly and turdulent affair with Racoons, mice, name calling, liar calling, sleazy 30′s style propaganda, and other trickery. See people don’t get the difference between Ontario NDP and the Federal NDP. There’s a HUGE difference. The NDP of Jack Layton and [...]
Open Letter To Tim Hudak, PC Leader Mr. Hudak: These are uncertain economic times. We both know that any instability and uncertainty will take Ontario off track. Our province needs a strong, stable, positive government to move forward. Ontarians want a Premier and an experienced team that will stand up for our economy, our schools [...]
CFN - Elections are found in a magic box. Who gets to be supreme leader? Over this question, flags have waved, armies battled and prisons both built and destroyed. Who gets to have near direct control over our life, income and ability to support? At last, a chance to select from a vast array of [...]
CFN – If the turnout in Cornwall for Premier Dalton McGuinty is indicative of the election results on October 6th, compared to the turn outs for Tim Hudak and Andrea Horvath the Liberal candidate will have a huge smile on his face on election night! In spite of cold and rain hundreds of people flooded [...]
CFN – New polls numbers are being crunched by Eric Grenier and his 308 website. It’s showing what many are seeing; that this is going to be an amazing story in Ontario election history as Dalton McGuinty and his Liberal government are on the precipice of earning a third majority mandate from the people [...]
CFN – The Healthy Home Renovation Tax Credit — which provides supports for seniors who want to stay in their homes — will be accelerated to help create jobs, Mark A. MacDonald said today. “Accelerating this important tax credit will generate immediate demand for skilled labour and manufacturing — creating jobs for small businesses in [...]
CFN – Nobody won Wednesday night at the All candidates debate. The three main candidates all had some bright and shining moments and some clunkers. Having some actual debate finally had some of them showing some of their real colours and for some cases strengths. It also convinced me that as a voter I [...]
CFN – So the big tv debate is over. Dalton, Tim, and Andrea duked it out. Did you watch it? If the numbers are indicative of the vote next week we may have a very underwhelming turnout. The debate itself was a snore fest. No new ground covered. The juice [...]
CFN – The All candidates debate in Embrun Ontario took a wild turn as an audience member, one Dave Brown, allegedly threatened Liberal candidate Grant Crack. “He’s dead. Dead alright” Mr. Brown was quoted as saying to an aide to Mr. Crack. Events heated over the “Dump the Dump” issue that is hot in Russell. [...]
