Cornwall Ontario – One of the biggest problems in Cornwall is the utter failure of charities due to really bad politics. The United Way for example boycotts this newspaper. They also kept missing their funding targets so they no longer have them. Instead of acting like a responsible charity and pursue their mandate they fail […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s really weird getting stopped in public places and asked to talk about politics and in particular my running for office again this 2018 election. The most common theme I heard over the weekend is that this town would putrefy with David Murphy as mayor. I can’t say I disagree with that […]
Cornwall Ontario – So I was having a beverage with a gentleman I was expecting to run for mayor of Cornwall Ontario. He was bright, successful, connected to the community and had the gift of gab. He was clearly far superior to the only person to put their name forth so far, one David Murphy, […]
Cornwall Ontario – The problem with a lack of community leadership is that issues can bite you in the bum before you realize what hit you. Corruption and political impotence do not lead to a successful community. While the ol rumours and allegations about a certain former mayor’s love for a good game of cards […]
Cornwall Ontario – In the 2014 Ontario municipal election CFN viewers were credited with being the change in Cornwall. Out went one long time corrupt Mayor and politician along with half of his council, and in came a mayor who allegedly stood against the corruption including having resigned during the term as councilor. We now […]
Cornwall Ontario – When my neighbor came to me complaining that they city was refusing to repave the sidewalks on our block because I lived on here I laughed at him. I mean, that’s nuts and silly. It would be an abuse of the public purse too. Imagine repaving a block up and a block […]
Cornwall Ontario – Some irate taxpayers in Cornwall were offended when they read that the Bank of Montreal just sent a big bag of cash over to the Winchester Hospital instead of CCH, especially as Cornwall just bought it’s old empty BMO building on Pitt Street, in need of millions of dollars of renovations, for […]
Cornwall Ontario – And it’s on! Premier Doug Ford essentially told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to jam his illegal immigration influx that is costing taxpayers millions of dollars per year and straining resources across the board in Ontario. Trudeau visited the Premier in what appears to be the day after Ontario stopped cooperating when it […]
Cornwall Ontario – Then next few years will be a defining period for both Akwesasne and Cornwall. At stake is an extremely valuable strip of waterfront lands that the Federal government will be selling, most likely through a process via Canada Lands where the properties are evaluated and then sold at market values to gain […]
Cornwall Ontario – City Councilor Mark A MacDonald wrote an open letter to Police Chief Dan Parkinson and embattled fire chief Pierre Voisine.

Cornwall Ontario – This has been a very traumatizing week for a lot of people. Being a mere mortal myself we all only have so much endurance.

Cornwall Ontario – This writer is starting to think someone at City Hall doesn’t like moi? I’ve lived in this lovely home in downtown Cornwall now for seven years. Unlike CAO Maureen Adams I actually live in Cornwall. I pay the costs of her policies and mishandling of our finances that have led […]
Cornwall Ontario – Nobody apparently. A few seniors were enjoying the success of their Medical Marijuana treatment and sent in this photo that was inspired by the future of the members of this group on City Council, and in particular Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy. The contractors left this mound of dirt that looked […]
Cornwall Ontario– Long time Cornwall City Councilor and two time failed Liberal MP candidate Bernadette “Flipper” Clement may step out of the closet and run for Mayor of Cornwall Ontario finally! At least that’s the buzz heating up around the River City! When not using tax dollars at the legal clinic she’s in charge of […]
“Make up your mind that no matter what comes your way, no matter how unfair, you will do more than simply survive. You will thrive in-spite of it.” Joel Osteen. All retaliation impacts many employees and is a serious issue for organizations not to mention very difficult to resolve. Retaliation rates are climbing and […]
Cornwall Ontario – Bob Peters swung and missed again for the River City it seems, or he may not even have swung the bat? The Economically Developmentally challenged poobah used public resources to make a splash in applying to have Amazon have it’s HQ2 in Cornwall which was farcical, but made nary a peep about […]
Cornwall Ontario – In what promises to be the most entertaining race in the upcoming Municipal elections, former mayor of South Stormont Bryan McGillis has announced that he will be running against the current deputy mayor, Tammy Hart.

Cornwall Ontario – CUPE sent out a release today. The four CUPE locals who have been on strike in Cornwall have each ratified their tentative agreements.
