September 13, 2021 – We don’t live in the wacky US of A. Here in Canada we have socialized medicine. We also have a bunch of disgusting anti vax protesters who are gaining attention by protesting at hospitals. The very places many of them will need as they get sick from Covid as we’re seeing […]
SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 – As we enter the final week of our pandemic election, here is some advice from an old political pro- take a deep breath and relax. Do your own research. Dig deep, ignore the media hype. The media will push poll after poll at you- after all they are paying big dollars […]
September 10, 2021 – Did you watch the debate? All of it? Did you watch the French debates? Do you think anything in the debate really can change the final vote results? These are questions asked every election. But my job as a journalist is to watch the silly things. As a jaded old white […]
September 5, 2021 – I, like many of you reading this, was outraged by the selfish, ignorant, and frankly criminal acts of anti vax, anti mask, anti brain #covidiots protesting at hospitals here in Canada. The irony that these people, when they catch Covid and the unvaccinated, are those needing hospitals the most during this […]
AUGUST 30, 2021 – Dear Justin. You seem to be struggling early in this election They’re never easy. I get that. However you truly are to blame for it. Every group and Canadian wants their vote to count. We want to be represented at the highest levels. We want freedom . We want justice. We […]
AUGUST 28, 2021 – Scary times and scary days during this election. With Covid-19 numbers rising it appears that the Anti Vax faction is starting to boil over. Based mostly on delusional ignorance, anger at just about every other issue, and in many cases simple mental illness, most Canadians are facing a Delta wave fueled […]
AUGUST 25, 2021 – It’s always bewildering to see how ignorant and petty some of the political classes can be. Or why those with the thinnest skin are attracted to politics? I mean, if you can’t take legitimate criticism or questions from the media perhaps politics isn’t for you? CFN, and yours truly have been […]
AUGUST 23, 2021 – It’s been an interesting first week in our National Election. Clearly the only reason Prime Minister Trudeau and his team moved to have this election is they felt it was their best chance to gain a majority government. Thinking about that for a second it gives cause for concern about what […]
AUGUST 21, 2021 – It’s been a slow ugly start to the election. The debaters have been announced.. Frankly this writer sees no point or interest in having the Greens or Bloc attend. One has a leader who doesn’t have a seat in parliament and the Bloc are at kindest, a regional party, at worst, […]
AUGUST 20, 2021 – I have had two vaccinations for Covid-19. I wear KN95 masks, even outside if there are crowds. I social distance and frequently wash the ol paws. I tend not to enter any place I can’t be out of in less than 15 minutes. I can’t afford to catch Covid and like […]
AUGUST 15, 2021 – When I started CFN back in February of 2009 I never, ever, expected to see it evolve the way it did. I expected to build a small, local newspaper which focused on our community in a refreshing Gonzo way. I had been taught that journalism was telling the truth. How you […]
AUGUST 14, 2021 – One wonders what the Erin O’Toole team is thinking as it faces destruction in a Federal election that’s expected to be called Sunday? A recent attack ad that looked like something a stoner would put together on tik tok may in fact have broken copyright laws as its clip from Willy […]
AUGUST 13, 2021 – With an election call expected any day now, expect the opposition parties to continue their whining about it being unnecessary. It doesn’t really matter what these parties say publicly, very few Canadians are paying attention. We are all too busy getting our lives back to normal. Other than a political partisan […]
July 31, 2021 – With Covid-19 impacting the globe it’s no surprise that it would impact the hockey world. Choosing all the way down at 31st the Habs either could trade up; dump the pick, or go all in and draft Logan Mailloux who normally would not be available at 31. After enduring a social […]
JULY 29, 2021 – There seems to be a lot of confusion about the COVD-19 Virus. One minute the WHO is saying to please wear your masks, keep your distance and follow health regulations because the Delta virus is spreading globally. Then on TV you watch a golf tournament in the USA and see none, […]
JULY 29, 2021 – The Green Party still doesn’t get it. You can’t be successful and win elections or even get MPs elected when you are continually and publicly stabbing your leader in the back. Sorry folks, but that is a recipe for disaster, especially when an election is weeks away. It seems that every […]
JULY 25, 2021 – The Blame Game Has Started. The potential for an election call has given rise to the usual blame game- as in you are using taxpayer funds to pay friends or give them contracts. It is great fun for political staff to play this game and once in awhile you can come […]
JULY 15, 2021 – A book of the best of my first 100 columns will soon be published. For more information or to register for a pre-book sale please email at: info@cornwallfreenews.com The sitcom” The Golden Girls” was a very popular show that we all enjoyed. It was funny and entertaining show about how three […]
