I’m hearing quite a few people talk about our Cornwall Mayor Robert “Bob” Kilger returning to the Federal scene and defeat the current Conservative MP who besides not attending Grand Chief Mitchell’s swearing in ceremony, has been very not noticed by Cornwall residents during the Bridge Crisis.

The Harper Government was forced […]

It looks like it’s a GREEN LIGHT for Renee Zellweger to get into the Ice Cream and return for a 3rd round in the Bridget Jones franchise. In this sequel Bridget faces the baby clock. No word yet if he usual suspects will return, but Hugh Grant and Colin Firth’s dance cards have not been […]

I personally was very disturbed to read about the bridge being open this morning. Not that I don’t want the bridge open, but in the manner that it was done. To arbitrarily take action like this without consulting the MCA to me is just wrong if that’s what happened as reported here. It’s upping the […]
