Mr. Peter Padbury, Publisher, Standard Freeholder daily newspaper, 1150 Montreal Road, Cornwall, Ontario 9th October, 2011 Dear sir: I am writing to express my disgust with the newspaper of which you are the publisher. I am very well known, throughout this community, for my constant writings in your newspaper whether they be guest columns, specific, targeted […]
CFN – What an odd end to the Ontario provincial elections. In the “Big Picture” voter turnout was the key factor with the province slumping under the 50% mark. That means that over half of the eligable voters in this province just couldn’t be bothered or care about voting. How many of those that […]
CFN – It’s been a long election season. Debate after debate, speech after speech, private moments, heated moments, moments that separate one candidate from another. I can say that at both the local riding level here in SD&SG and at the Provincial level where I’ve seen Tim Hudak barr me from an event thus […]
CFN – Wow, this 2011 provincial election is almost done. It’s been an ugly and turdulent affair with Racoons, mice, name calling, liar calling, sleazy 30’s style propaganda, and other trickery. See people don’t get the difference between Ontario NDP and the Federal NDP. There’s a HUGE difference. The NDP of Jack Layton and […]
Open Letter To Tim Hudak, PC Leader Mr. Hudak: These are uncertain economic times. We both know that any instability and uncertainty will take Ontario off track. Our province needs a strong, stable, positive government to move forward. Ontarians want a Premier and an experienced team that will stand up for our economy, our schools […]
CFN – If the turnout in Cornwall for Premier Dalton McGuinty is indicative of the election results on October 6th, compared to the turn outs for Tim Hudak and Andrea Horvath the Liberal candidate will have a huge smile on his face on election night! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vewjyL0v844 In spite of cold and rain hundreds of people […]
CFN – New polls numbers are being crunched by Eric Grenier and his 308 website. It’s showing what many are seeing; that this is going to be an amazing story in Ontario election history as Dalton McGuinty and his Liberal government are on the precipice of earning a third majority mandate from the people […]
CFN – Nobody won Wednesday night at the All candidates debate. The three main candidates all had some bright and shining moments and some clunkers. Having some actual debate finally had some of them showing some of their real colours and for some cases strengths. It also convinced me that as a voter I […]
CFN – So the big tv debate is over. Dalton, Tim, and Andrea duked it out. Did you watch it? If the numbers are indicative of the vote next week we may have a very underwhelming turnout. The debate itself was a snore fest. No new ground covered. The juice […]
CFN – The All candidates debate in Embrun Ontario took a wild turn as an audience member, one Dave Brown, allegedly threatened Liberal candidate Grant Crack. “He’s dead. Dead alright” Mr. Brown was quoted as saying to an aide to Mr. Crack. Events heated over the “Dump the Dump” issue that is hot in Russell. […]
Dear Friends. A general election is the prime time for a public discussion among friends about direction and choices for Ontario. I think it is useful to set aside one’s political loyalty for a moment to take a good look at the options. As you know, I can change my position when there is […]
CFN – There has been a lot of talk by all the parties about how to deal with the day to day challenges of living in Ontario not the least of which has been a discussion on the cost of living. Whether it is the cost and availability of health care, the cost and quality […]
CFN – An incensed Mark A MacDonald has challenged one of his opponents to a one on one debate after alleged comments from PC candidate Jim McDonell reached him related to the debate in Winchester Thursday night. The debate featured questions from the crowd directed at up to two of the candidates which for the […]
CFN – Sometimes I wonder if a candidate for public office needs to have their head examined for choosing their profession. Candidates have a really tough challenge. They have to make enough noise to get elected, then they have to make promises about what they’ll do when elected, they or course have to win a sometimes […]

CFN – Mr. McFuddle, Mayor Jim McDonell had baby sitter Steve Clark at the Ingleside shopping centre today. In a Cornwall Free News exclusive Reg Coffey was the sole person in attendence other than the two MPP hopefuls and party helpers. None of the public showed up to hear Mr. McFuddle speak in the pretty […]
Cornwall ON – I just received a phone call from Tim Hudak’s media guy; Jason Lietaer phoned me up. What is it with Conservatives and threatening me with legal action? Mr. Hudak is visiting Cornwall this afternoon, and is the only leader to demand accreditation for events. So I called and not only asked […]
CFN – As we enter week two of the Ontario provincial election things are heating up here in SD&SG. Provincially the Liberals seem to have made up their lost ground. According to Eric Grenier’s Three Hundred Eight site the Grits would form a minority government if the election had been September 14th which is […]
