Cornwall Ontario – After the draft and free agent frenzy day it appears that Montreal Canadiens fans are in for another very long season. They deserve better. Montreal has had a very clear need.

The news was perhaps not unexpected, but it was certainly met with joy when it was announced that Canada, USA and Mexico would be hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Montreal, Toronto and Edmonton look to be the three host cities in Canada, so there should be an opportunity to catch a big game […]

Cornwall Ontario – Our city councilor here in Cornwall, Claude McIntosh, actually once wrote about me having to do all the jobs here at CFN as though it were something to be embarrassed about or amateur.

Cornwall Ontario – I’ve been a big fan of the salary cap, especially as I created one of the first Rotisserie style hockey league systems way back in the late 80’s. It makes a lot of sense. However the NHL under the long tenure of Commissioner Gary Bettman has changed the game dramatically. Yes, Bettman […]
It’s always amazing to see some local ad choices by businesses in the Cornwall area. The newspaper with the most ads (not necessarily ad dollars) has the least amount of news and least amount of viewers.
