On Nov. 11th we had a big snow fall. Luckily it held off until the Remembrance Day ceremonies were over. I had this vague memory of being there as a kid with my class from Central Public. I talked to some seniors and they were talking about the days when they used to go to […]

Organizers were Pat Marchand, Dorenda Dorey and her 103 year young Mother, Edna. They had a big crowd. No wonder, with all that nice food to eat already prepared and no […]
Hand washing is paramount now that the flu season will be upon us. I read in a few articles that the problem is that we don’t wash our hands long enough. It was suggested that when washing with soap and good warm water to sing the “Happy Birthday” song – two verses and also to […]

Michael Musto says, “If there’s ever a museum for gay comic/actors navigating their way through show biz, Jason Stuart would have to curate it”. Everybody who knows Jason, knows he is hilarious, but not everybody knows that he has been a true pioneer in the worlds of stand-up and LGBTQ representation. And now, as it turns […]

While the debate surrounding legal gambling, both online and offline, swirls in the US, Canadians have long enjoyed access to legal gambling in some form or another. Yet, in each of Canada’s 10 provinces and three territories, ‘legal gambling’ takes a very different form. The regulations across each of these areas vary wildly. What this […]
The short answer is no. Your online winnings are not taxable in Canada, unless you are a professional gambler living from your earnings. Even that is a roller-coaster ride when you consider big wins as profits and large losses as expenses to offset those profits. Why Don’t Online Casino Players Pay Taxes On Their Winnings? […]
When some of my friends and I were about 10 or 12 years old, we decided to form an FBI club. I have no idea today why but we even wrote out formal certificates for membership. Mine said, “Dawn Herrington is An Official Member of the FBI Club.” I found the certificate a few years […]
Only in Cornwall can the weird get this weird. What we have is a city that historically has not supported the arts. Right now they are paying more to keep a building empty than they gave to keep its former public art gallery open. The city should not be in the art business. They should […]

A gull raided a Goose nest from a small island in the St. Lawrence River near Ingleside, Ontario, Canada and flew off with one of the eggs. The gull punctured the egg with its bill accidentally while it was flying and some of the residue […]
When I started CFN and Seaway Radio it was about views from the public. As I’ve shared publicly many times; nobody, not a single person, moves to Cornwall Ontario because they seek attention. As a long time fan of talk radio and good debate I was hoping to achieve something here, but sadly, while like […]

Mr. Hanson shot these in the Lunenburg area. Three rare Trumpeter Swans that were swimming in the pond at the corner of […]
So I watched The Bells. Frankly it’s been the best episode of this last season. Even though it fails in so many ways; it was engrossing. They really needed at least eight episodes this season.
