CFN-Apparently there’s an election over the border in the US tomorrow; Tuesday November 6, 2012. I went to school in the US as a kid and got to study a lot of US history. I lived in Los Angeles in the 90’s as well too and have visited almost allContinue Reading
CFN – The 2012 NHL Lock Out is still on and it looks like this season is in mortal peril. If you take a big step back you can see who has the leverage; the owners. They can lose the entire season; not take in a penny of revenueContinue Reading
CFN – I have no sympathy for Lance Armstrong. None. Zero. No, I’m not a prude. I know in this world that people lie; people cheat. Heck I have on occasion too; none of us is perfect; but Mr. Armstrong took lying and cheating to new heights. Heights fromContinue Reading
CFN – An odd sequence of events Monday as Cornwall City Council created a special meeting to review infrastructure – IE get reports on its buildings. Certainly not an emergency issue. Bewildering why it could not be added to the agenda of the next meeting. What was even more curiousContinue Reading
CFN – Holy Gilles Latour! Our Premier Dalton McGuinty threw a colossal hissy fit and tossed in the towel and has prorogued the Ontario legislature prompting many in the opposition to posit questions about the timing while others are stating that he’s done so to enter the Federal leadership race. Sixteen years ago, whenContinue Reading
CFN – Death. It can be a scary word that conjures up frightening images. It’s change. Our lives change when people pass away that we care for. This week I heard from a friend who’d just come home from the hospital after catching Meningitis; something that is usuallyContinue Reading
CFN – Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty finds himself with the highest approval rating in his province after the Liberal AGM with higher ratings that NDP’s Andrea Horvath and the poor Conservatives who at this point must be looking for a dark hole to dump the political corpse of Tim HudakContinue Reading
CFN – Cornwall Ontario City Council’s concept to fool the public into thinking that it’d finally grew some population by simply changing their signs to accommodate area population was rejected by the Province. Led by one of their most disconnected councilors, Syd Gardiner, the concept was to just add in areas; maybeContinue Reading

CFN – Pretty strong image huh? We apologize to anyone that’s offended by it. It’s being used not to tar our MPP, but to illustrate that using a symbol to paint an opponent in the manner that he did really isn’t Fair Dinkum. MPP for Stormont, Dundas, & South Glengarry,Continue Reading
CFN – Mayor Rob Ford of Toronto being grilled and exposed this week has created a lot of buzz here in Cornwall Ontario where many are calling for the some kind of inquiry into the machinations of City Hall under Mayor Kilger, his council, and some senior management. Essentially manyContinue Reading
CFN– It was a campaign of strong rhetoric from PQ leader Pauline Marois. With just over 30% of the popular vote she earned a minority government and had her first assassination attempt all in one night marring the success of having Quebec’s first female Premier. Hate politics are not new orContinue Reading
CFN – With rumblings of tonight’s election giving Pauline Marois a government of some sort the biggest losers will be Anglophone Quebecers.

CFN – Today is Labour Day; one of my favorite holidays and the gateway for me to Fall, my favorite time of the year. However here in Cornwall Labour Day seems to have been hijacked by Elaine MacDonald and her friends; a small group of people that seem more dedicatedContinue Reading
CFN – Every city should have local media outlets with local content. It’s that vacuum here in Cornwall Ontario which led to CFN being created and its success with the public. We just celebrated our sixth month with over 1 Million plus page views per month, over 30% ofContinue Reading
CFN – Such gnashing of teeth and rending of cloth here in Cornwall Ontario as certain dignitaries who haven’t been earning their paycheques are taking shots at Cross Border shopping. Being a border town, that stink comes up every now and again, but sometimes you have to look in theContinue Reading
CFN – My apologies to those of you who have asked why I’ve commented so little these past two weeks. Things are nuts here at CFN. There are not enough hours in the day. We are busy working on getting Seaway TV going and getting our Christmas print issueContinue Reading
