And here she is folks, Cornwall’s dime-store version of Tony Blair, Daniel Ortega, and Hosni Mubarak. In honour of Elaine MacDonald’s 7 years of treacherous collaboration with the corrupt Trudeau-McGuinty-Wynne Liberal Party establishment and her resulting betrayal of artists, home owners, seniors, taxpayers, workers, and small business owners in CornwallContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Surviving a conspiratorial City of Cornwall led boycott isn’t easy. As we approach our 8th Anniversary good news is always nice to see especially as we survive on a near non budget with little to no staffing. Thanks to our many contributors and supporters who helpedContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The Standard Freeholder ran a puff piece spinning a higher amount of complaints about the CCPS. Oddly enough there were less reported crimes in Cornwall in 2016 even though they still are raising their budgets. The police service is a cash cow. It comes down to moneyContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Another clique run business has shut it’s doors. Recently Bryan Merkely shut down his adult education facility and sold the building, and now former President of the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, Kevin Hargreaves and his wife Wendy, have folded the local Kelsey’s franchise. They join disgraced formerContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Another cronyism hiring in Cornwall Ontario. As in many smaller cities it’s really hard to get a reasonably good, non minimum wage job, never mind an actual “Career”. In a perfect world of course people would be hired based on merit, especially when dealing with the publicContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – I always marvel at the depths that the Bob Peters, Bernadette Clement, Guy Lauzon cliques, and their sillier psychophantic followers, will sink to in proving, that one, they aren’t terribly good at what they do, and two, that whether or not they like it the vast majorityContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s only 1.48%, but how many in Cornwall are not seeing their incomes go up by that much? And of course while the percentage may sound small, these taxes rarely if ever go down. Again, how many on council actually earn a living other than by theContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Unlike Hugo “The Hack” Rodrigues at the Freeholder, I’m not afraid to give someone credit when credit is due. Nor do I not mention their name like a silly silly petty person. His Friday editorial hits the nail on the head. Instead of dealing with the adversityContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Starting CFN in 2009 has been an amazing experience. It’s been brutal in many ways exposing the darkest sides of any community I’ve ever seen not in a cheap tv series or movie. While by far my experience with people in this town has been pleasant,Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Holy Gilles Latour! The former Liberal bag man spoke to Bill Kingston, and reading his words you almost want to pat him on the back and put a few coins in his cup. However the evidence that has been displayed so far paints a different picture.Continue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – I left Team Cornwall after a sampling of its former President Gilles Latour, who’s now waiting his court dates from charges of fraud, including of his mother. I also am no longer a member of the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce. When I first ranContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Cornwall By Law Officer Larson Payette is a busy boy. He is involved in the false vicious dog citation given to a city man which appears to be heading towards the same courts as the case of Doug & Rachelle Raymond who have engaged local lawyerContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It would be interesting to have a review done of Judge Rick Leroy’s transcripts for the Diane Shay case as well as the conflict of interest case brought against Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and councilors Elaine Macdonald and Carilyne Hebert who sat on the board of a groupContinue Reading
The City of Brampton just axed 25 management and senior officials in what has to be one of the most progressive house cleaning jobs in Ontario Municipal history. From the Toronto Star article: “We had to notify 25 individuals that had to exit the organization this morning,” he said, butContinue Reading
As the death rattles for the Cornwall River Kings shake, owner Steve Moreau answered a few questions for CFN regarding the shutting down of the team. Ironically a last ditch effort by Rodney Rivette is another example of the dysfunction and corruption of the culture in Cornwall. Where was olContinue Reading
Recently a list of 25 Things Cornwall, ON People Know Too Well – The bitter truth of it all went locally viral. 2. The ski hill is made from industrial waste. Cornwall has a ski hill in the middle of town, right behind Lowe’s (formerly Walmart) which in and of itself isContinue Reading
I live in a very very strange town. Because of a City Hall led boycott many agencies refuse to send press releases or invites to CFN even though their works require the most amount of exposure to be successful. I watched from our public art gallery, which is inContinue Reading
More cronyism in Cornwall Ontario as CFN has learned that former TC Media Seaway News editor Todd Lihou has been given a two year contract with Heart of the City, an arms length agency in Cornwall, funded with tax dollars, which employs City Councilor Denis Carr as it’s manager/leader. WeContinue Reading
