Cornwall Ontario – We get a lot of email each and every day at CFN; about 800- 1000 emails each day. Most get dumped promptly to the trash bin and then you sift through what’s left.
Some of those are tips or pieces of information. Many times they are not valid or impossible to prove.
We recently had this gem come in.
Am so tired of the “old boys ” club here in Cornwall….a few things for you to look into Denis Thibault leaked news of Rob Hickley losing support for lawyers payment for his suit against the city to Todd Lihou at 2 pm today
Do you think it is odd that Denis T. has hired Todd Lihou’s WIFE..and recently given her a promotion ( with zero justification) ….talk about influencing media. Oh and Kelli Shaver _ Rick Shaver’s daughter – was the only staff member of an EOTB project (SNAP- with 5 employees- most more qualified than Kelli) to be offered continued employment??? She has now moved on…but the nepotism is ASTOUNDING….more to come
More like an episode of the x-files. Where would any of us be without some Nepotism????
Cronyism has always existed and always will, This not only happens in Cornwall nor just in politics. Who you know and how willing one is to play the game will determine the success of most and of course a little money will help in any situation.
EOTB
How can anybody, such as Mr. Thibault, expect to tell people what they will need for experience over the next few years? ( arbritrary expanse of time) when industry has no clue what will be in production next week?
EOTB is a bad joke
Friends helping friends…It’s ok to put pen to paper but you would get more action if you put foot to pavement. They steal tax money while smiling at you I think now it is yur time to get back in their face…But do so with pride and respect….
Yes it also was Mr. Thibault that was on stage at Lift Off after the non secured $30K loan from council who then helped get funding for a position for Lift Off. The only jobs his agency should be helping fund should be sustainable ones.
Admin I assume you read the Labor Market information available on line.
What a joke it is merely marketing marketing marketing….there is no answer provided to where any of these changes will be necessary, who will benefit nor who precisely needs what.
It is a way to have people go back to school and earn a fraudulent document by a fraudulent system while keeping people in debt…
See our last discussion on the other topic…..it’s coming here
Denis Thibault is a bully and a corrupted liar and {MODERATED}. When people put none of the above to be re-elected they were absolutely right not one of them are any good at all.
Haley I have read not {MODERATED because Jules went waaaaaay off topic}
If the owner of a private business that operates exclusively on revenue from sales of goods and service, whom they hire is their business. In this history of this area, journalists have had involvements with politics . . . onetime Charlottenburgh Township Councillor Bob Roth wrote a column for Seaway News, Onetime Cornwall Mayor Gerry Parisien had previously worked as an announcer for CJSS News and may have worked there during a stint as an alderman. While still an elected councillor, Roth actually wrote a column some 20-years ago in SN that called for the closure of Cornwall Regional Airport.
When cronyism prevails in private, unsubsidised businesses, a competitor can often rectify such a situation, unless the business is protected from competition through government regulation (a more ‘polite’ form of cronyism). The worst examples of cronyism occurred when federal and provincial governments gave grants to companies to open in economically challenged communities, such as Cornwall that literally became a revolving door for such businesses . . . they even hired relatives of public sector people.
Easy access to money from federal and provincial governments has fueled much of the cronyism and favouritism that has and still prevails in Cornwall and surrounding area. The City of Detroit declared bankruptcy while the constitution in some American states requires administrations to keep a balanced budget (NO DEFICIT). In Canada and Ontario, when federal and provincial governments reduce expenditures and require municipalities to use financial resources more efficiently, perhaps that would reduce occurrences of cronyism and favouritism.
Seaway Valley news huge comment posted online…because they only get two comments a yr or so i figure
Well, so much for a prime minister giving butt-kissing members of the media a place at the public trough. Thanks Mike and Pam for ruining it for the rest of the pack.I am willing to bet Four quarters of beer that former SF scribbler thought he was going to make the Senate short list for all his PR work for a local politician while he was suppose to be an independent journalist

“butt-kissing members of the media” Very sorry Big Mac but this seems like the Pot calling the kettle black

I wonder if a certain crony magnet remembers thinking he was a chick magnet around Canada Manpower… back in the day when harassment wasn’t discouraged, but was instead rated by other bully perverts and secretary/clerk harassers.
And does that crony magnet remember a little chat that set him straight (for a little while anyway)?
Does he think there won’t be another chat in the near future on behalf of his current victims?
