Cornwall Ontario – I’d like those of you that read this that actually care about the arts locally to think about this. Digest it. Taste it like a fine wine please. The City of Cornwall, led by Mayor Bernadette Clement and “her girls” will spend about the same money this year keeping the Bank of […]
Petula Clark’s song, “Downtown”reminds me sometimes of growing up post war in Cornwall. That line,”Everything’s waiting for you”, says it all. Pitt and Second Streets were sort of our hub’ in center town. We had it all. There were so many stores that seemed to have everything we needed or wanted. At Sleeman’s Sports Store […]

Cornwall Ontario – I kinda giggled when I found out that there was a Canadian Francophone organisation locally. Not because I disrespect Francophones, but this area has people like that silly man with his pins and of course Dianne Poirier, retired school teacher, who besides being President of this local group has been a driving […]

There currently seems to be a shift in the mindset of North Americans towards sports betting. In the United States, with PASPA being struck down, there has been a renewed vigor in the US to get the appropriate legislature in place so that sports betting can finally be made available to the masses. We have […]
The Leafs are meeting expectations for most. They’re winning games, scoring goals, and near the top of the standings. They doing it though without William Nylander and for the last while, Auston Matthews. That certainly wasn’t expected. Most thought the Leafs would rack up points, but have issues on D. That pretty much has been […]

We’re trying to get him to put all of his images online so people could order prints! He captures some intimate moments with our wildlife….. […]
The Habs are off to a good start. With all of the recent historical drama you have to give les boys credit. A win is a win is a win which I’m sure Jean Chretien would agree with. And the team has banked some early season wins. That’s the thing about beating expectation. Geoff Molson […]
Cornwall Ontario – Our Canadian doctor Lt. Col John McCrae could not have known that his poem “In Flanders’s Field” written in 1915 would become such a famous loved poem for the whole world.

Cornwall Ontario – There’s a certain ignorance and nastiness in Cornwall that’s embodied in people like my former neighbor Randy Sauve. There’s no crime in not being bright or capable of running one’s life without baby bonus. There is when you stalk and rant after people who can create and build things without government assistance […]
Cornwall Ontario – Homemade popcorn, candies, cookies sometimes in little paper bags or wrapped in paper napkins tied at the top were big treats for us as kids on Halloween. We got little bags of potato chips and even the odd nickel. Many moons ago now we carried pillowcases or shopping bags to hold […]
Canada is home to an impressive array of influencers. The Canadian economy is dynamic, growth-oriented, and ready to embrace the latest changes. This ensures that Canada can meet the needs of an increasingly complex global economy, and all the exigencies that may arise. That being said, it’s no mean feat identifying the top Canadian influencers […]
Cornwall Ontario – I still marvel, over twenty years since I created some of the first stat systems used by a NHL team at how complicated some people turn stats. It’s probably for some of the same reasons I created some of my systems. Hockey is still pretty much an old boys club even though […]
Cornwall politics are essentially shameless, corrupt, and frankly the government we collectively deserve. No other issue highlights this better than the BMO farcical art centre hustle. Essentially for over 30 years the city doled out a very very meagre amount of money to sustain the charity that was our Public Art Gallery. Run by fumble […]
