I wasn’t invited to the Orlando tribute here in Cornwall on Friday. Nor was CFN sent a release or invite which is odd as we’re the only newspaper in this community that has not only truly been Gay positive, but actually has sponsored (that’s given actual free advertising forContinue Reading
The lady doth protest too much, methinks For a man that to my knowledge has never set foot in Cornwall’s public Art Gallery, Standard Freeholder Editor Hugo Rodrigues sure likes to write about it. He writes about the gallery far more than say…..the shady Harbor Front deal, or how BigContinue Reading
It is that time again for us to be aware of animals and children left in hot cars. Dr. Ernie Ward’s video at: http://drernieward shows him placing himself in a hot car and how fast he wanted to get out of it, suffering so quickly from the intense heatContinue Reading
There are some nice people in our world and some nice companies also. It seems that Yardi Canada Ltd. is both. Yardi is a property management software company for real estate worldwide. They are coordinating a project with the Alberta Residential Landlord Association, The Capital Region Housing Corporation,Continue Reading
The medical officers of health across Ontario are pushing hard to add fluoride to municipal water and companies that supply fluoride chemicals will certainly make a profit. One Ontario MPP even wants to mandate compulsory municipal water fluoridation across Ontario. Except that citizens who want fluoride free water have severalContinue Reading

The lady doth protest too much, methinks What odd days in our Nation’s Capitol as members of the NDP caucus practice clear reverse sexism over Justin Trudeau tapping into his inner Jean Chretien as video shows him charging across the floor to end a delay to bull through Bill C-14Continue Reading
Oddly enough today the City of Cornwall issued a press release. Kevin Lajoie, Public Information Officer, once again neglected to include CFN in the release and I only found out about it after a reporter contacted me for comment. What our new CAO calls a distraction was a clear violationContinue Reading
CFN has always innovated and led the way in viewer comments in our community. The Standard Freeholder has nuked their comments section, but CFN has evolved and has a very clear policy. Our most popular commentator has been “Jules”. She’s had 2,963 comments approved as a viewer, and probablyContinue Reading

The deed was done under cover. No public consultation. No real public information delivered. A non nonsensical that jeopardizes the future of the city of Cornwall Ontario. The bad drama started with the Chem Tanks and ended with the release below by the city which actually rezoned the landContinue Reading
When you aren’t looking for something, you never know what you might find. Happened to me when I was going through an old box of pictures and look what I found: It is an old match box cover. It says on the side:’ Strike match on the back cover.’Continue Reading
This Winter I chatted with Carol Grant (now Sauve) about CFN sponsoring CAPE. We have a history of success promoting local events. Sadly politics have seen festivals like Lift Off and Winterfest destroyed by Cornwall City Council petty politics. Telling groups who to advertise or work with always isContinue Reading
Letter to the editor Hydro at any cost in Ontari_owe: . Approximately 25 OPG workers are still employed at the closed coal Lambton station to preserve its idled condition for possible future conversion how many other closed coal plants employ people to do very little. The Atikokan converted biomass plant Continue Reading
The problem with running a campaign based on a whole lot of promises that clearly will never be kept is that eventually it comes back to bite you on the bum. While good political teams try and deflect and navigate the choppy waters, the Trudeau team seems to be takingContinue Reading
Cornwall is one of the oddest communities I’ve ever lived in and I’ve lived in a few. The political corruption fingers through everything from City Hall, to charities, and even our SD&G Highlanders apparently. First you have former MPP Jim Brownell named as Honourary Lt. Colonel. ThatContinue Reading
Guess who said while rejecting offering the same EI changes to oil industry workers in one part of a province, the same help that other workers in the same industry in the same province needed: “I think that both people in Edmonton and Saskatchewan should be pleased that they areContinue Reading
