He’s no dummy, but his Machiavellian gobbleyspin might fool some; but not those that have followed politics. Hugo still has yet to ask the Kilger council the money question regardingContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – This has been a rough year for CFN. The third year of the Kilger boycott has kept us from hiring staff, and even doing investigations of certain stories purely because of a lack of resources and time. We know Cornwall reads CFN because our numbers have goneContinue Reading

CFN – The talk one hears around Ottawa these days about Stephen Harper calling a snap election is nonsense. If the prime minister called an election over the determination of Unifor (created last year from the merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions) toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s time for our September 2014 Lihou Report; named after Seaway News Editor Todd Lihou, who raved about their numbers without really giving any numbers.
