CORNWALL Ontario – It was another embarrassing night for the local Federal Liberal riding association under President Jamie Labonte. The lightly employed prez saw his guest speaker for the spaghetti fund raiser not show up and a crowd of less than 30 attended at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Sadly itContinue Reading
CFN – Canadians woke up today to the realization that there were two bye-elections yesterday. You have to wonder how many outside of the Ottawa bubble even gave it a second thought. I will hazard a guess and say that more Canadians were probably talking about the weather than theContinue Reading
CFN – Stephen Harper always complained about the media being so far on the left and favoring the Liberals; but during his years in office there has been a natural sway; chiefly because of the Benjamins. Media is of course controlled by money. Write or say the wrong thing andContinue Reading
CFN – It is hard to believe that it is 30 years ago today that I was a young campaign manager sitting in our riding election office trying to find ways to keep our candidate busy (and out of our hair) on what was then an election day- September 4th,Continue Reading
CFN – The latest Abacus poll was interesting as its numbers show how few people think anything would change under a Liberal or NDP government. For instance under a Liberal government, 46% don’t think there would be any difference when it comes to job creation. For the environment 51% don’tContinue Reading
CFN – Conservative and NDP fundraisers must be patting themselves on the back today and thanking Justin Trudeau for their good fortune.

I recently picked up the Tax Guide at our local post office, published by our MP Guy Lauzon. Most tax measures in the guide are OK, some implemented by the previous Liberal government, and others adopted by the current Conservative government. Otherwise, the document is a disgusting partisan ragContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I have personally never seen such an ugly and desolate election as the one occurring here in Ontario. The only blessing is that it’s been a short one. It hasn’t been dragged out. One would have to ask even why it happened? It’s looking as though oneContinue Reading
CFN – Why is Ontario Preme Kathleen Wynne getting her ass handed to her by a boob? Disconnect with the people of Ontario. Cutting Clean Air for cars by $5? Fail. The Liberals chose to not distance themselves from Dalton McGuinty by choosing Ms Wynne instead ofContinue Reading
CFN – In this day and age can a politician keep their sexuality private? Should gay candidates disclose if they are gay in 2014? Of course people are entitled to their privacy, but being a public servant is a role of trust. In particular here in Canada is theContinue Reading
