I’m not big on veneers. Politicians live by them. I’d rather be liked, or disliked, for whom I am than who I want people to see me as. There’s been a certain irony to watch the hate and stupidity roll here in Cornwall of late. We have theContinue Reading
Something my lovely ex wife complained about Cornwall was a lack of inclusion for we outsiders. I’ve lived here 12 years now and still am an outsider. I speak with some that have lived here over 25 years and they feel the same. Our first year my wifey triedContinue Reading

This spring seemed to zoom right by. To my embarrassment, although it could happen today (lol!), we have yet to plant our corn, squash and melons. Also, it appears we have fallen off the tomato sucker wagon this year… Again… Besides all that, my newest lesson in gardeningContinue Reading
Well one thing is becoming clearer. It really doesn’t appear that Bernadette Clement wants to be a city councilor in Cornwall? She has attempted to run for upper political office or hope to become a judge each election. Last night the local Liberal riding went through the charade of aContinue Reading
Not everyone is good or bad, smart or dumb, or even evil pollywosits…. City Hall has restructured after losing Stephen Alexanders salary due to retirement. The city issued the press release below.

In what has to be one of the most bizarre and strange quotes, Liberal hopeful Justin Trudeau has weighed in and said if made Prime Minister he’d push for Bilingual judges on the Supreme Court. His exact quote from Global News; It’s not just a question of symbolism of beingContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Council and management have a chance to show some leadership and do something positive as it’s that time to decide on what to do with our hockey rink contracts. Right now the Cornwall Colts have a ridiculous arrangement where they get subsidized by the city and get theContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – As some of our viewers know since living in this area I’ve taken a vow of non-partisan ship when it comes to politics. I think we all should become Hyper Non Partisan. One election at a time, one candidate at a time knowing that noContinue Reading
Over a dozen Cornwall real estate agents have been lamenting the weak market we’re seeing this season. Inventory is fat and sales are few and far between. This of course is having an impact on businesses that depend on house sales, from support services to sales of furnishings and allContinue Reading
An Ontario travel website seems to think the province ends at Ottawa and Kingston. A quick visit to the website shows that Eastern Ontario has no section and that the Cornwall area is lumped into Ottawa with no areas highlighted on its map. Eastern Ontario seems to be listedContinue Reading
