CFN – My two-year-old nephew absolutely loves my husband. Every time we’re at his house, the boy takes him by the finger and leads him onto the living room floor, and they play with Legos, and blocks and Matchbox cars until my husband can’t feel his legs. He’s six-foot-two andContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – So I attended the Chamber mixer at Table 21 Tuesday. I don’t go to many of these any more because frankly our Chamber here in Cornwall is a colossal joke. Corrupt, full of cronyism, and totally inept. From strange elections, to going hat in handContinue Reading
CFN -To go to ‘Pot’ or not : that is the question. No offense to our immortal poet but it is the question of the day. Having worked for 14 years at Mount Carmel House Treatment Center in St. Raphael’s, ON which was an Inpatient Treatment Center for Alcohol andContinue Reading
CFN – One of the first few things I learned when studying journalism is the importance of being unbiased. You can’t rationally write an objective article about somebody or something if you have an attachment of any kind to the subject. Your opinion will sway the flavour of your article,Continue Reading
With health care in Ontario taking about half of the annual budget and rising, have you wondered how much administration cost there is, even before the hospital’s share? Is that an area to review for savings? We see much dedication and administration expense towards the promotion of French throughContinue Reading
CFN – I’m surrounded by robots. I’ve seen “Terminator“ so I know how this ends: with them killing us all. Scientists are already predicting that by 2029, our robots will be smarter than us. This is what you call a slippery slope, folks. I don’t seriously believe that but IContinue Reading
CFN – Quebec politics are akin to watching a game of 3 card Monte. You think the shell is under the middle card….but. The announcement of Quebecor Poobah Pierre Karl Peladeau as a Parti Quebecois candidate for Ste. Jerome is a boost for Madame Marois’ hopes of a MajorityContinue Reading
CFN– My understanding of our Senate in Canada growing up was that it was the somber house of last resort; a check to the balance of whatever laws elected officials in Parliament tried to ram through. We of course need a Senate to balance the vagaries of partisan political aspirationsContinue Reading
CFN – Friday February 14th, I was revelling in the fact that I was not infatuated with Valentines Day. Just a regular day! The day however, would change my life and the world forever. I carried through that weekend and didn’t do much different…weekends at our house are full ofContinue Reading
That certainly seems quite extreme; however, this is exactly what 398 students from the United States did last week. For the past few years 350.org (among many others) has been spearheading a campaign against the expansion of the Keystone XL pipeline that is slated to begin transporting Tar SandsContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – That’s Todd Lihou, editor of The Seaway News which is owned by TC Media (Transcontinental). It used to be known as The Shoppers News or Shopping News and is a free weekly hand out. Mr. Lihou was hired after a meeting occurred where Rick Shaver, formerContinue Reading
CFN – I don’t really watch music videos anymore, mostly because the majority seem to feature writhing, half-naked women. But I’m actually aware of and quite addicted to the video for Pharrell’s “Happy.” What’s so great about it? It features a bunch of adults boogying, some with great rhythm andContinue Reading
CFN – Kudos to Cornwall Transit for providing shuttle transportation on Feb. 15 and 16th, so that people and their families could enjoy the holiday weekend and the Winterfest . Thank you. A wonderful program to assist seniors who are alone is offered by the Glen Stor Dun Lodge throughContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Since my political smear involving my being charged by Cornwall Police Services, and my announcing my candidacy for Mayor I’ve seen a tremendous amount of frankly, hate. A small group of people started a boycott page against CFN on social media. They plunked people into the group.Continue Reading
The colossal mistake of building chemical storage tanks on our waterfront is a prime example of a city council lacking clear direction, which I must take some responsibility for. We desperately need a city council that can focus on an agenda that will bring some meaningful progress to our city. Resignations, criminalContinue Reading
CFN – My family practices a neurotic ritual. When we leave after a visit to each other’s houses, we spend a solid 10 minutes saying goodbye. “Goodbye” has to be the absolute last thing said just before the door shuts – shouted through the crack in the slowly closing door,Continue Reading
“Pastor Tom. Is abortion part of that human pecking order? (You asked) Yes. I believe John Lennon said women are the niggers of the world. Females are dirt, pretty much from womb to tomb. They’re aborted, murdered, violated and enslaved every few minutes”. Mary Anne Pankhurst – I am gladContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Today was wear pink shirt day about anti-bullying. I think by now after a day of talking about anti bullying most of you reading this know about bullying. And yes, my pic on the left was on a site that is attempting to bully me intoContinue Reading
