Cornwall Ontario – When I heard about the case of one of Canada’s most decorated soldiers, Collin Fitzgerald, being utterly screwed over by our court system right here at the Cornwall court house I rushed over. Because of this newspaper a requested gag order by the crown might haveContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – One of the saddest thing about the clique politics of a small tiny town like Cornwall Ontario is that the clique usually fails at what they do. It’s sad. It’s sadder that people are allowed to be in positions to fail rather than be inclusive or remotelyContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s only 1.48%, but how many in Cornwall are not seeing their incomes go up by that much? And of course while the percentage may sound small, these taxes rarely if ever go down. Again, how many on council actually earn a living other than by theContinue Reading
A pandemic of denial over the incoming president of the United States grips his Democratic opponents, and, like most American fads and traits, is as strong in Canada as anywhere. It is now five weeks since the election, and we have watched an unprecedentedly asinine sequence of delusional activities toContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Privately a few councilors have expressed frustration with this current council as there are some pretty clear blocks when it comes to voting. Conflict of Interest Queen Elaine MacDonald leads the pack. You have to remember that while the person that mops the floor atContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Another fire in Cornwall has left people homeless. Another round of social media and gofundme appeals for help for the poor victims. But in 2016 apartment insurance in Ontario can be had for little more than the price of a package of cigarettes or less than theContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Unlike Hugo “The Hack” Rodrigues at the Freeholder, I’m not afraid to give someone credit when credit is due. Nor do I not mention their name like a silly silly petty person. His Friday editorial hits the nail on the head. Instead of dealing with the adversityContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – It’s been said that people in Cornwall Ontario have less of a sense of humor than most Middle Eastern countries. Memes litter social media. Many are quite funny. Cornwall Memes was a huge success with over 5,000 people clicking like on facebook before local police visited itsContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Starting CFN in 2009 has been an amazing experience. It’s been brutal in many ways exposing the darkest sides of any community I’ve ever seen not in a cheap tv series or movie. While by far my experience with people in this town has been pleasant,Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – As the song says, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”. It is true. Everywhere we go there are sparkling lights, multi-coloured decorations, toys, gifts, Santa Clauses and Nativity scenes. Pommier’s Square at Pitt and Second Streets is all lit up with colourful decorations,Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Holy Gilles Latour! The former Liberal bag man spoke to Bill Kingston, and reading his words you almost want to pat him on the back and put a few coins in his cup. However the evidence that has been displayed so far paints a different picture.Continue Reading
Who gave us the right to take life? A much needed answer to abortion, same-sex marriage, and Euthanasia. Recent news from Canada’s Highest Court has prompted me to write on the subject of euthanasia. Euthanasia comes from the Greek word meaning a “good death” – or, what advocates ofContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – According to media reports, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is suggesting that high hydro rates that are crippling Ontario are in fact her fault. Under the guise of caring for the environment, coal (even though there are new technologies that reduce carbon and pollution) was phased out inContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – I left Team Cornwall after a sampling of its former President Gilles Latour, who’s now waiting his court dates from charges of fraud, including of his mother. I also am no longer a member of the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce. When I first ranContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – I found a souvenir program in one of my photo albums of a Flying Fathers Hockey Team benefit. There is no date on it but I am guessing it was about 1983. They came to Cornwall to play a fund raiser for Mount Carmel HouseContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – In what has been one of the ugliest elections in human history Donald J Trump has taken his candidacy to the bring of victory as I type this. This election was never supposed to be close. The odds makers all over the World supported Hilary Clinton.Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – November 11th. Remembrance Day always brings back a lot of memories for all of us. I remember when I was young there were large gatherings of people at the Cenotaph in all kinds of weather, cold windy days or sometimes snowing and other mornings were bright andContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s that time. The trick or treat crews are getting ready to maraud our local neighborhoods! Locally it’s going to be a clear and cold night with temps falling to about zero by the time the clock strikes the Witching Hour! A warning to all toContinue Reading
