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

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

Conservative government hypocritical on prostitution So the Harper Conservatives want to protect women by being harder on johns and pimps. Since when did making something illegal protect people?
