CORNWALL ONTARIO – I left Team Cornwall after a sampling of its former President Gilles Latour, who’s now waiting his court dates from charges of fraud, including of his mother. I also am no longer a member of the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce. When I first ranContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – In what has been one of the ugliest elections in human history Donald J Trump has taken his candidacy to the bring of victory as I type this. This election was never supposed to be close. The odds makers all over the World supported Hilary Clinton.Continue Reading

Cornwall Ontario – It would be interesting to have a review done of Judge Rick Leroy’s transcripts for the Diane Shay case as well as the conflict of interest case brought against Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and councilors Elaine Macdonald and Carilyne Hebert who sat on the board of a groupContinue Reading
When I first turned on my iMac I was frankly, excited. It was sleek, beautiful and handled lovely. It was my first Mac, and I’ve been using computers since the….. 80’s! As a writer I loved the keyboard, a lot. I’d had an iPhone, and loved theContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – I watched the debate between US Presidential candidates Hilary Rodham Clinton and Donald Trump. It was not the reality show gore fest that many were expecting. It wasn’t very entertaining or informative. I don’t think it ultimately will change the voter turn out or results.Continue Reading
Conservative MP Guy Lauzon issued a new mailer. The purpose of a mailer generally is to communicate with voters in the riding. It is done at tax payer’s expense and not of the Conservative Party. The latest mailer, which is a whopping 11×17 inches includes a whopping four pages inContinue Reading

Cornwall Ontario – There are a core group of people in Cornwall that like to wear their civic pride like a badge of honor or Nero fiddling while Rome burned. Finish near the last in Entrepreneurial studies, and you’ll hear complaints about how the study was done. Celebrate our pizzaContinue Reading
Randy Hillier, the PC MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington is one of my favorite politicians in Ontario. It’s not that I agree with all of his positions or support his party, but when you talk with him you can feel a passion and integrity that is sorely lacking in soContinue Reading
The City of Cornwall is about to write a cheque for over $2 Million dollars to buy back a large chunk of its Industrial Park as Loblaws is bailing on the 121 Acre parcel in the city’s industrial park. Was it a game of chicken with its Quebec Unions forContinue Reading
Even in the week that he is nominated by the Republican party for the presidency of the United States, intelligent people fail in droves to understand what Donald Trump has accomplished.
