Oderous to the Extreme! I just read some news about a local pharmacy, Medical Arts, losing a nursing home contract to an outside competitor. Something about how this went down makes me hold my nose. The reason given to change providers was that a very successful 50 year old establishedContinue Reading
Dec. 1, 2009 Dear Editor: I am appalled by the poor judgement shown by the Mayor and a majority of Cornwall city councillors in giving a 14% pay increase to the city’s CAO. The CAO’s salary, which will increase from $154,313 to $175,000 this January and rise by an additionalContinue Reading
Boy did we have fun Sunday at Schnitzels. Shooting any show can have its challenges and we had ours including our camerman coming down with H1N1 and needing a last minute replacement, but everyone came together and our Star Red Seal Chef Shawn Kretz created some amazing dishes.

The government flyers state: that the Liberals participated in a conference in Durban on racism inContinue Reading
There’s so much talk because of the Seaway International Bridge Crisis.

Dear Editor: The following video clip is a damning indictment of the Council on Foreign Relations which is playing the American public like a fiddle. Their cavalier attitude towards the people and how to manipulate them to take the H1N1 vaccine is both stunning and sinister.Listen for the part whichContinue Reading
The media continues almost daily to browbeat the Canadian public into accepting the H1N1 vaccine, now approved by Health Canada, a very shady government department that is intimately linked to the pharmaceutical giants. If you doubt that, read Shiv Chopra’s new book, “Corrupt to the Core,” and you’ll be horrified whenContinue Reading

Hmmm…..Page 26 of this weeks Seaway News under the Turkeys Turkeys Turkey story by Nick Wolochatiuk is a bold slug line. Liberals Vote Against Economic Recovery. This story has no author which is odd even for the Seaway news and goes on to rip the Grits a new one purelyContinue Reading
