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

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

With it being Easter weekend, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter especially all of those hard-working MPs and ministers and of course the Prime Minister too. Then again “hard-working” might not be an accurate description of our elected representatives. We are two thirds of the way through thisContinue Reading
Jian Ghomeshi’s life will never be the same. The countless legal bills incurred, the damage to his reputation, and at the end of the line the loss of quality of life and earnings can never be repaired. Chiefly because there is no real accountability of Crown Attorney’s in Ontario. Continue Reading
Dear Editor, For several years, “Keeshechewan” residents have been coming to the Cornwall and “Ahkwesáhsne” communities to escape the springtime flood waters of the Albany River. It’s a hardship for the families for sure, but our communities strive to make it work, and we’ve developed somethingContinue Reading
The tenants at Beek Lindsay Seniors Residence are collecting food for a local food bank as they do for Thanksgiving and Christmas each year also.

Dear Editor, Ever step into the kind of muck that takes hold of your foot — twist and turn, and you’re more stuck, and deeper in? And when you get loose, you’re minus a shoe, or there’s a clod of mud that won’t come off without a mess onContinue Reading

One of the strongest positions that assisted Justin Trudeau in his majority victory was the Liberal party’s position to legalize Marijuana. Trudeau failed to defend Marc Emery’s extradition to the US that was more about industrial competition and advantage more than any other factor. Allowing a Canadian citizen to beContinue Reading
