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 […]

Ontario can no longer claim the shortest median wait time for medically necessary treatment in Canada, with patients in the province waiting an estimated 15.7 weeks (on average) in 2018, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank. Saskatchewan’s wait time of 15.4 weeks is the […]
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 […]
Cornwall Ontario – We all get them every week. Mine goes straight to the recycle bin, but that’s exactly why city’s like Montreal are deciding whether to ban them altogether. LINK Locally TC Media ships them with the Seaway News weekly, but most end up in our landfill. With more communities banning plastic bags […]

Cornwall Ontario – Danny Aikman is a wee fellow. He made his way through giants to eventually become police chief of the CCPS. (was there any truth that he only would accept a Deputy Chief that was shorter than he was which was how Ms Spowart got the position?) Oddly enough his start sadly […]
Cornwall Ontario – Stephanie Macrae of the CCPS has denied that any officers are being paid to attend the unprecedented, expensive gala festivities to swear in Danny Aikman and Shawna Spowart as Chief and Deputy Chief at NAV CAN today. They also are not saying how much the event is costing taxpayers or if […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s amazing how some people in authority feel that they can abuse their authority. How some refuse to understand that they serve we the public when the taxpayer pays their generous salary, benefits, and retirement. Chief Dan Parkinson of the CCPS is retiring and it was decided to throw an event […]
Cornwall Ontario – After several days of silence the Cornwall Police are announcing that the action on Sydney Street near the back end of Giant Tiger in Cornwall is an alleged sexual assault.

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. The Annual Poppy Campaign of the Royal Canadian Legion raises money for our Veterans and their families and organizations which […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Cornwall Community Police Service reported an increase from 71 to 91 Sexual Assault charges that were laid in Cornwall in from 2016 to 2017. You can’t blame a lack of resources. The CCPS cost per capita is nearly on par with Toronto and nearly 3 times the cost of the […]
Another year, another assault on Legion Park by the City of Cornwall. I can’t say that I am surprised. The consultant agency was directed by numerous City Staff to recommend moving the Park out to the Benson Centre. Cornwall Minor Baseball was grilled by the agency to support moving it out to the Benson Centre. […]
Cornwall Ontario – Sometimes adults make mistakes. There is an old saying…. The difference between winners and losers is how they deal with adversity. Maureen Adams was the city’s Chief Financial Officer before becoming its CAO. Under her leadership, or lack thereof, the city’s finances have crumbled. She’s part of a circle jerk between […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN like all media outlets needs revenue to survive. Our original business model was to support local business at reasonable rates. In fact we didn’t have digital ads (like adsense) until the City initiated a conspiratorial boycott that impacted our roster of advertisers, many of whom were threatened and bribed to pull […]
Cornwall Ontario – Unlike Cornwall’s vote both South Stormont and South Glengarry voters sent a message that change was desired; chiefly fiscal change. In South Stormont this is chiefly ironic as Cornwall CAO Maureen Adams and many Sunshine list decision makers in Cornwall reside in the township. IE, they don’t support the #taxrape and corruption […]
Dear Editor, On Friday October 26, 2018, Cornwall takes a giant leap… toward irrelevance. Bad enough the city lost its bus terminal years ago, or that VIA Rail is about to chop it from the Windsor-Quebec corridor, but now, a first nail is being driven into the Cornwall Regional Airport coffin. Friday October 26, is […]
