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
CORNWALL Ontario – Apologies for not writing as much as I normally do for the last while. I was in mourning. My beloved dog Melly passed away a week ago Saturday. She was one of the greatest relationships in my life. She was always there, and always willContinue Reading
There is a new Maternity Ward in the Beek Lindsey Seniors Residence. New births include Quads. They came with their own little fur coats. You guessed it: four little baby kittens. Mother ‘Dakota’ and babies are doing well. Grandmother Pat Marchand is still in shock but is doing as wellContinue Reading
Hugo, Hugo, Hugo…. The Freeholder editor took on the question of whether to replace an elected official or hold a bye election. He cited the Brock Frost drama, but omitted to mention the Conflict of Interest lawsuit pending Mayor O’Shaughnessy, and Councilors Hebert and MacDonald. The irony is that someContinue Reading
Such great spring weather we’ve been blessed with this year! It’s been a busy past few weeks and as much as I would love to say that my seed starting has gone off without a hitch, it would be a complete fabrication. I had more faith this year than last,Continue Reading
I love to go to the Glen Stor Dun Lodge and eat in that lovely dining room looking out at the river. It occurred to me that from the Blue Anchor restaurant in Glen Walter until the Marina at Long Sault there aren’t any restaurants on the river. We haveContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – This can be a very very odd town to not only cover news, but deal with how stories are covered. Cornwall Housing threatens to evict seniors and tenants if they put in window air conditioners and we’re the only outlet to cover the story. Not a peepContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – The latest presser from Team Cornwall announcing Jim Brownell as the key speaker shows how disconnected the group has become. Frankly it may be time to either sit down and figure out what Team Cornwall really should be or disband it. Having Jim Brownell be a keyContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – What a furry week it’s been. It’s been an odd mix, good and bad, ignorant and nasty with spots of hope and joy. I’ve been getting some missives complaining that I’ve been writing less here on CFN and well…that’s true. Part of me is glad toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – As many regular CFN viewers know, we don’t just cover the news, but we become active in a story and have been known to advocate for our community. I was alarmed and disturbed to hear from several residents of Cornwall Housing units who have been threatened withContinue Reading
Dr. Ernie Ward, Veterinarian has a web site: www.drernieward.com and in one of the links he places himself in a hot car to show us what it is like for an animal to be left in one on a hot day even with the windows open. Jamie ran it inContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Last night was odd and funny. Cornwall City Council debated a new committee to hash out a Code of Conduct. There is the municipal act, the Council and CAO covenant (a joke document that the Mayor said isn’t even implemented) , and just plain common sense, butContinue Reading
CFN – Oh Liz! I know that the Green Party leader enjoys the odd tipple of red. I mean, who really doesn’t, especially if you’re pooped, but certainly once you’ve had enough it’s probably not best to move in front of a microphone as the BC MP surely is discoveringContinue Reading
CFN – Now that Patrick Brown has stormed in and taken over the PC Party in Ontario the big question is when will he get a seat? Most of his own MPP’s didn’t support him during the leadership run, and even if one like our own useless lump, Jim McDonell,Continue Reading
