With all due respect to our MP Guy Lauzon, your recent statements regarding the chemical storage tanks issue are completely opposite to the message from the community. There is only one solution. NO TANKS — STOP NOW. I encourage people to sign a petition, attend a meeting or rally, callContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Chem tanks on our waterfront. It’s been a hot story this past month here in Cornwall Ontario; but what it really highlights, what it really is about is our community; Cornwall Ontario. What it shows is a clear lack of genuine leadership. It shows a corruptContinue Reading
CFN – Neil Young made a political statement participating in an event focused on First Nation’s treaties and the Oil Sands, but at the end of the day has the Harper Government gone all in on a losing bet? High resource prices led to massive shut down of factories andContinue Reading

CFN – When I was growing up, my mother and father would talk to each other about their private bathroom activities, in foul and thorough detail. Even worse, when one was in the shower, the other would barge into the bathroom and pee, without shame. In these too-intimate moments, I’dContinue Reading

CFN – Ten years ago, as a 20-year-old art history student, I traveled to Paris for ten days. I nearly killed my mother with worry in the process, but it was a great experience all the same. I recently resurrected my Paris memories for an essay I’m trying to writeContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Dear Bob, you still haven’t publicly stated that you’re against the Chemical Tanks on the former Kaneb property even though just about every single resident of Cornwall is against them as well as the tanks being against the city’s future waterfront plans.

CFN – I recently read the Forbes compilation of the 30 best under 30 in science and health, and in all honesty, the profiles blew my mind. (LINK). I think anyone who reads that article will feel the same way, what these prodigies are doing in their own respective fieldsContinue Reading

Cornwall Ontario – Chuck Charlebois must be included in any further discussions regarding the construction of the chemical storage tanks. It’s a “no brainer”.

CFN – We said good-bye to 2013 a couple of days ago. For me, it was a bittersweet good-bye; sad because I have always been emotional with them, and happy because 2013 was a year of endings and new beginnings. And that type of year is filled with sadness, hardship,Continue Reading
CFN – Who doesn’t remember the Mel Brook’s 1974 movie classic ‘Blazing Saddles’? How we all connected with the towns people as they gasped in unison when they saw a ‘Black’ Sheriff ride into town.

CFN – As I have said previously, I am a 33 year old girl. I feel funny calling myself a girl, but I don’t feel right calling myself a lady, at least not all the time, yet… I say yet because I still love to sit at the kiddies tableContinue Reading
