Cornwall Ontario – No sireee, no Cronyism and corruption in the River City as Councilor Carilyne Hebert announced her new gig at the EOTB. The Eastern Ontario Training Board is run by long time Liberal and former City Councilor Denis Thibault. Essentially funding is politically massaged to government friendly hangersContinue Reading
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 theContinue 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 – 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 – Winter arrives in the River City is about to get walloped by a MAJOR STORM starting on Sunday November, 20, 2016. Snow will be lasting until Thursday before things warm up again. Cape Breton’s own Frankie MacDonald did an area weather alert live from Sydney NovaContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – While some CFN viewers have asked if City Councilor Mark A. MacDonald was in the Witness Protection program, the long time councilor did speak out today about a special council meeting to take one of their vaunted bus trips to look at the sites before deciding toContinue Reading
I wasn’t invited to the Orlando tribute here in Cornwall on Friday. Nor was CFN sent a release or invite which is odd as we’re the only newspaper in this community that has not only truly been Gay positive, but actually has sponsored (that’s given actual free advertising forContinue Reading
Oh look, another BREAKING story about City Hall in the Seaway News? The TC Media paper has a sitting City Councillor on the payroll in one Claude McIntosh. The long time former Standard Freeholder lawsuit attractor doesn’t write these stories, but there does seem to be a large volumeContinue Reading
Canada is suffering from a prolonged pandemic of moral self-flagellation promoted by hemophiliac bleeding hearts and militant native agitators. The latest outburst of it is the recent decision of the governors of Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont., to withdraw from an arrangement to erect statues of all 22 ofContinue Reading

Yes, I know, I’ve got emails from many of you complaining that I haven’t been writing as much here on CFN these past months. The truth is since January of this year I’ve been spending 40-60 hours per week trying to save our 33 year old institution that is ourContinue Reading
So I just finished reading the document that Mayor O’Shaughnessy & CAO Norm Levac are trying to ram though a all too often gullible public. Remember, this is the city that elected Brock Frost. The principle of a Code of Conduct is of course a wonderful thing other than theContinue Reading
Something my lovely ex wife complained about Cornwall was a lack of inclusion for we outsiders. I’ve lived here 12 years now and still am an outsider. I speak with some that have lived here over 25 years and they feel the same. Our first year my wifey triedContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – Apologies for not writing as much as I normally do for the last while. I was in mourning. My beloved dog Melly passed away a week ago Saturday. She was one of the greatest relationships in my life. She was always there, and always willContinue Reading
