Cornwall ON – I love my dog. This is Lily. She’s a Basenji and is in her “Golden Years”. As she nears her 15th birthday she’s slowing down a bit. She’s lost some teeth which is genetic for line sadly which makes it harder when she flipsContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – The Real War on drugs takes place each and every day. It’s not cocaine; it’s not Mary Jane as one of our radio guests call it.

It’s been a yearContinue Reading
Some problems you can’t just wash away. The hot topic in Cornwall if not in all of Ontario is health care. Chiefly slashes to health care budgets which of course lead to job cuts. While there are plenty of fingers to point ultimately the bottom line is that weContinue Reading
The PQ must be getting desperate. The internet killed their vision of Separatism that she and some of her “Pure Laine” Separatists visioned, and now because the PQ has not evolved politically into this century with the rest of the population of Quebec they sit in the shadows lobbing grenades as they didContinue Reading
It may be time to circle the wagons here in Canada. A group of politicians in the US are planting the seeds to open the NAFTA trade agreement. Created during the Mulroney era, NAFTA has been argued on both sides of the border since its inception. This US initiativeContinue Reading
We at The Cornwall Free News just celebrated our 1st Anniversary. It’s something we’re all proud of because many people gave us little chance of making it to our first birthday, but people can surprise you and the response to our online newspaper was way beyond even our ownContinue Reading
At least they were drinking Canadian Beer 🙂 Congratulations to the Woman’s Hockey team for winning gold and making Canada proud.

Geez we get an awful lot of emails and comments about us not liking Stephen Harper, Guy Lauzon, or the Conservative Party of Canada. We get called a “Liberal Rag”, a “NDP Voice” , and a reusable “Green Party of Canada” cloth. The fact is that the “Free” in TheContinue Reading
Water meters for Cornwall Ontario. Hmm….Nope. I don’t want one. I don’t know too many people that do and I certainly don’t think too many think that they will save a whole lot of money. Ontario is going through a similar issue with these new “SMART METERS” for electricity. Continue Reading
