Editor, Although not surprised, I am shocked and dismayed as once again Prime Minister Harper prorogues parliament, not for the good of the country but to avoid difficult issues that may further erode confidence in this government! This is one more step in this government’s inexorable drift toward unchallenged power: ducking difficult questions around the Afghan detainees and attacking […]
The Montreal Canadiens were actually not out shot last night as they beat Tampa Bay 2-1 in OT. Habs goals were from Brian Gionta and Tomas Plekanec who no longer plays like a “Little Girl.” Carey Price got the win and probably the next start against Florida. Marty Brodeur, the greatest goalie ever, even […]
I know I sure don’t get excited over them. All these sites and magazines showing off their top ten lists hoping that the stories will resonate with you the humble viewer, or perhaps even cause some sort of controversy. Crap that.

December 30, 2009 Dear Editor: I disagree with the recent suggestion by Mayor Bob Kilger that the City of Cornwall should provide stipends to council members who sit on the boards and committees of various community organizations.

Walking into Katerina’s Restaurant on a snowy winter’s day is like getting an instant dose of Vitamin D. The colours, the mood, ambiance, and decor just up the temperature a few degrees. If you go on Mexican Buffet night (Wednesday & Thursdays) an amazing Margarita and meal will definitely help take those winter blahs away! Mention that […]
A Cosmic Update From Jeremy Pommier The first annual Cosmic Christmas was a cosmic success! Fifty to sixty local hipsters made their appearances; including some local photographers and other artists.

I have no idea why I smile every time I see a Smart Car? I know I’ve wanted one since they’ve come out. I loved the idea of the original diesel and getting over 60MPG and was a bit disappointed when the new gasoline powered Smart For Twos came out which reduced mileage. Now Mercedes is going […]
There’s a lot of talk around Canada about the future of Michael Ignatieff. There are a lot of potential replacements in Liberal land, and one of the most talked about is Justin Trudeau. Mr. Trudeau has been very patient while working hard to raise his profile and not simply trade on his name. […]

Will Carey Price get the start for the Habs in the next game? That’s the “controversial” question Montreal fans will be asking until the puck drops next. Monday night they dropped a 4-2 loss in Ottawa. The good news is that Benoit Pouliot, acquired for Guillaume Latendresse, scored his first goal. The bad […]
