CORNWALL Ontario – The Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce was embarrassed and humiliated as their guest speaker essentially pointed out the very reasons why it has not achieved success for several years. Reported in the Seaway News, Ontario Chamber President Allan O’Dette stated that “Cornwall that local businesses need eachContinue Reading
CFN – It seems that there’s a move a foot to kill the CBC. And it’s coming from within. Hubert Lacroix, the reigning President of our Nation’s broadcaster looks like Gordon Gekko a business guy/bureaucrat brought in to dismantle the CBC one block at a time. He didn’t work his wayContinue Reading
CFN– Freeholder Hugo Rodrigues is spouting off about Water Meters for Cornwall in a recent editorial. Frankly I’m not sure Mr. Rodrigues even lives in Cornwall. The Poobah from the Canadian Association of Journalists was dropped in to helm the newspaper for Sun Media and after helping improve theContinue Reading
Does this image offend you? It should. It does me. Does this one? Can you imagine some drunken idiot putting a picture of someone in the centre of a poppy because they were suspended by Facebook? I know. Insane. When presented this image Bill Maxwell of the Canadian LegionContinue Reading
CFN – With the closing of No Frills at the Square, many seniors living in the area were wondering how they would manage to get groceries. I remember one lady who lived in a Senior’s Residence telling me that she would walk to the Square with her walker and getContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I was asked what was the hardest part of this last year? Was it the police charges? Was it that after Bell provided a production order that categorically stated that I never made the calls (nearly six months ago!) that the police and crown put forth inContinue Reading
CFN – What an odd world this is becoming. A video purporting to show what beasts men are has gone viral on You Tube. I’m sure many of you by now have watched the near two minute clip of the curvaceous and zexy Shoshana Roberts jiggle around the Big AppleContinue Reading
Jian Ghomeshi blew up his career and life when he made his long statement on facebook. It was an interesting read but it ultimately indicted him. It gave fuel to the tinder of what has now started to flow, and it’s raised many red flags; but most of thoseContinue Reading
At a recent presentation of Cornwall mayoral candidates, one candidate (O’Shaughnessy) advised the audience that administration had not followed council’s directives. The incumbent mayor replied that administration people were of high character . . . and he said that at a time when the public is reading news media reportsContinue Reading
Hope doesn’t always spring eternal. This was especially true (for me) in late summer, after the 100th anniversary of WW1 slipped back into the past, and August was on the wane. By that time, it was fully two months after the defacement of the poppy (by a gang that grewContinue Reading
CFN – Today was a dark day in Canadian history. A man (or men) killed one of our brave Canadian soldiers. The second this week. Why is this happening? Politics. There are people dying in wars all over the world. In particular the Middle East.Continue Reading
One of the great things about being a senior is that you have a lot to reminisce about. A friend Sandra and I started remembering some of our fun as kids growing up in Cornwall. We were at our Tai Chi lesson just before it began. She was commentingContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – There are 12 people that owe the truth to the people of Cornwall. Bob Kilger, Elaine MacDonald, Syd Gardiner, Maurice Dupelle, Andre Rivette, Leslie O’Shaughnessy, Denis Carr, Denis Thibault, Bernadette Clement, David Murphy, Glen Grant, and yes, Gerry Samson owe the people of Cornwall some answers.Continue Reading
City and Community Action Group Jargon Spin and Fumble They all suckered by the ‘excuses’ of city vs. county dwelling due hyperbole of taxes. CAG may well have used City Logo when they should not have, BUT, is the city using this argument as smoke and mirrors as frankly atContinue Reading
CFN – In this day and age of social media we become more aware of how uneven justice can be. While Justice is supposed to be blind; it also is meant to be evenly applied; but it looks like that may not be the case. Today the CBC did aContinue Reading
Dear Editor, Why should I vote? I’m just one person and my vote won’t change a thing. The same people get elected by the same voters and nothing really ever changes. Even if new people get elected the results are still the same. I have heard this many times beforeContinue Reading
The ongoing behind closed doors Secret Negotiations with Akwesasne over our Port and Port Land is I believe nothing short of an engineered sham a diversionary tactic by Mayor Kilger attempting to turn our focus away from the truth about the Trillium Tanks on our water front land. WasContinue Reading
The South Stormont News organized a Debate for Tuesday October 7, 2014 at The Long Sault Marina Restaurant, unfortunately the organizer Mr. Jamie Gilcig developed a sudden medical condition and the event morphed into a Town Hall style meeting. A near packed house of South Stormont residents attended and althoughContinue Reading
