Remember the wonderful Roger’s and Hammerstein’s song from Carousel,” June is Busting Out All Over”? It certainly is. No wonder!! April showers brought May flowers. What a wonderful treat to see everything blooming in such an array of gorgeous colours. An artist’s delight. First the small crocuses raised their little heads even in the cooler […]
JUNE 7. 2020 – Like a bad horror movie we are seeing political hypocrites put the health and safety of this community in peril. COVID 19 still has no true treatment and no cure. There is no vaccine for it. Cornwall is a city where if you end up in Intensive Care you end up […]
MAY 24, 2020 – It’s odd how people react to COVID 19. There are those that take it seriously, and those that take it so lightly they compare it to a common flu. What we know is that we don’t know enough about this virus yet. We know we don’t really have a true treatment […]

APRIL 23, 2020 – So here’s one of my pet theories gone to crap. I figured that at the higher priced stores I’d see more folks wearing PPE, thus the thinking would be that there would be less chance for contamination from COVID 19. I had to mail an item and stopped at the 9th […]
APRIL 20, 2020 – It’s boggling that an entity that is supposed to serve public health is boycotting this newspaper and refusing to release info that supposedly is meant to save and protect lives. That’s exactly what Dr. Paul Roumeliotis is doing. While many can understand that people don’t like criticism, when you earn over […]

APRIL 19, 2020 – Social media is a blaze locally as a local Food Basics worker tested positive for COVID 19.

APRIL 16, 2020 – As our economy teeters we’re learning more about this historic Pandemic. 2 meters apart? 4? We know that Dr. Theresa Tam and government officials have failed.

APRIL 15, 2020 – For Marie Beaupre it was an embarrassing moment as she drove up to the drive thru window at a local McDonalds. All she wanted was that secret sauce and delight that is a McDonald’s Big Mac. Being on a limited income this was a treat for her. With the COVID 19 […]

The problem with voting people in like Bernadette Clement, Elaine Macdonald, and Maurice Dupelle is that you gradually kill your community. A few years ago they started to kill off yard sales by putting in a yearly limit. Now they’ve eliminated them citing COVID 19 as a reason. Mayor Clement mentioned it in her nearly […]

Sadly CFN was tipped off that staff at the lodge were being tested last week. A call to a very nervous Steven Golden, director of the lodge was strange. Mr. Golden couldn’t answer if any of the staff had been tested for COVID 19. He asked if he could call back and never did. Now […]
