CFN– Freeholder Hugo Rodrigues is spouting off about Water Meters for Cornwall in a recent editorial. Frankly I’m not sure Mr. Rodrigues even lives in Cornwall. The Poobah from the Canadian Association of Journalists was dropped in to helm the newspaper for Sun Media and after helping improve theContinue Reading
Does this image offend you? It should. It does me. Does this one? Can you imagine some drunken idiot putting a picture of someone in the centre of a poppy because they were suspended by Facebook? I know. Insane. When presented this image Bill Maxwell of the Canadian LegionContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I was asked what was the hardest part of this last year? Was it the police charges? Was it that after Bell provided a production order that categorically stated that I never made the calls (nearly six months ago!) that the police and crown put forth inContinue Reading
CFN – What an odd world this is becoming. A video purporting to show what beasts men are has gone viral on You Tube. I’m sure many of you by now have watched the near two minute clip of the curvaceous and zexy Shoshana Roberts jiggle around the Big AppleContinue Reading
Jian Ghomeshi blew up his career and life when he made his long statement on facebook. It was an interesting read but it ultimately indicted him. It gave fuel to the tinder of what has now started to flow, and it’s raised many red flags; but most of thoseContinue Reading
CFN – Today was a dark day in Canadian history. A man (or men) killed one of our brave Canadian soldiers. The second this week. Why is this happening? Politics. There are people dying in wars all over the world. In particular the Middle East.Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – There are 12 people that owe the truth to the people of Cornwall. Bob Kilger, Elaine MacDonald, Syd Gardiner, Maurice Dupelle, Andre Rivette, Leslie O’Shaughnessy, Denis Carr, Denis Thibault, Bernadette Clement, David Murphy, Glen Grant, and yes, Gerry Samson owe the people of Cornwall some answers.Continue Reading
CFN – In this day and age of social media we become more aware of how uneven justice can be. While Justice is supposed to be blind; it also is meant to be evenly applied; but it looks like that may not be the case. Today the CBC did aContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – So I was asked by someone on my election team how I could cover Leslie O’Shaughnessy’s campaign kick off event last night seeing as I am running against him and Mayor Kilger in the election? It’s a valid question; but then I guess after nearly six yearsContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – That wacky Todd Lihou, pictured left, must’ve missed a few classes at J school or simply is ignoring certain principles of traditional journalism? CFN is a Gonzo journal so we do have more latitude, but we adhere to certain basic principles; like telling the truth to theContinue Reading
CFN – Having a pet die for some is like losing a child. While I’m not trying to directly compare the emotional crush, it can be devastating. This past month I have had three friends, or two friends and a stalker, (let’s not get semantical) lose their beloveds. Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Politics has been compared to war in some ways; but sometimes it’s just petty and sometimes it’s just personal. Maybe it’s because The Seaway News is the number three media in Cornwall? ( they moved up after Corus Radio shut down its newsroom losing three jobs inContinue Reading
CFN – Today is Labour Day and I just read about the Toronto Star cutting jobs. Of course they are getting flak from Unions; but there is a certain reality that we as a society are facing. 2% or cost of living raises may seem fair; but certain jobsContinue Reading
CFN – The story of the two monsters who abducted two young girls and now we are finding out sexually abused the 7 and 12 year olds is a flash point. It’s time to think hard about how to deal with people that cross lines in our society. ThereContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I was at the Port theatre last night. It’s an original Roxy theatre that has struggled mightily to survive as it approaches its 75th anniversary. They are still fund raising to add digital projection; but since the Sylvain family have bought it have cleaned it upContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – As I was investigating a lead on the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne being in talks with the Federal Government about acquiring Crown Lands in nearby Long Sault to create a Casino and entertainment complex with Chinese financing I discovered some disturbing facts about the impacts on CasinosContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – In a recent Freeholder story Economic Development officer Bob Peters goes on about our amazing “growth” in Cornwall; but are we really growing economically? The city cites new distribution centre jobs, but doesn’t count the loss of our call centres; nor does it focus on recentContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Didn’t my mom and dad make cute babies? I turned the BIG 5-0 today. It’s bewildering. Frankly it kind of freaks me out. The 31st of July has spawned some odd and strange people. I share this day with Wesley Snipes and JK Rowlings; EvgeniContinue Reading
