Wow, that’s a mouthful. L I N K “Kilger didn’t completely rule out the prospect of taking on additional projects such as a new arts centre — an idea which has been floating around for some time — however he cautioned that the city’s financial picture will have toContinue Reading
This video was just posted on http://www.akwesasnepeoplesfire.com/ which is a website with a unique insight into the goings on at the tent in Akwesasne. There’s so much spin out there and so much that hasn’t been covered. It’s good to see the perspective from those at the center ofContinue Reading
I would like to humbly and formally welcome all of you Conservative readers out there who seem to be taking the time to vote in our polls. We’ve seen a rash of Conservative votes this past weekend. Don’t be shy. Post your comments. We don’t bite or suspend your rightContinue Reading
Even if I am not a big fan of our MP Guy Lauzon, the day I received his big blue sheet Getting Things Done for SDSG, I ran over to my neighbour, who’s not interested in politics, to show him how rich and what a good person our MP isContinue Reading
A tiny item snuck through this week’s city council meeting in Cornwall. I love how council defers tough issues to city management for assessment and reports. Usually it’s done so with the tacit goal of management coming back with justification with council’s desire. So is this concept of reducing cityContinue Reading
L I N K Guy Lauzon has been shown to not be too good with numbers. In light of the report tabled by Gerard Kennedy our MP and head of caucus all but dismissed the numbers as fictitious. He’s a scoffing, snorting wonder who probably spends way too much timeContinue Reading
The Standard Free Holder’s Kevin Lajoie had most of his story picked up nationally. A picture of our MP, Guy Lauzon is on the Bourque Newswatch Homepage along with a link to an abbreviated version of Kevin’s story that appears in the Ottawa Sun. It’s funny how a story canContinue Reading
Normally this entry would be filled with video clips and photos inspired by the words and actions of our Cornwall City Council and Mayor. I’m not doing that tonight, because frankly tonight I’m very disappointed. Today was a let down. It showed the lack of vision by many on councilContinue Reading
Tonight should be a busy Cornwall City Council meeting. If you’ve never seen how your town works you should stop by and watch. It’s free and can be very entertaining as well as educational. Like they say; whomever “they” are; “If you’re not part of the solution you’re part ofContinue Reading
The trusses are up at the winter base being built next to the CBSA post on the Island. I stopped by early Saturday morning. Everything was wet and mucky, but moving forward. There was a turkey dinner served today, and a fundraiser as people are digging in and preparing forContinue Reading
L I N K If the link works it should take you to page 26 of this week’s (October 8, 2009) edition of The Seaway News. The article in question has a slug line that reads ” Liberals Vote Against Economic Recovery”. This story has no byline. It isContinue Reading
It was a magical night as Liberals from the area came together to listen to MP Bob Rae speak while sharing a fine meal at The Best Western Inn Parkway. Cornwall City Councilor and Liberal Riding Nominee Ms Bernadette Clement wore her signature power color Fuchsia, on this night whenContinue Reading
Hmmm…..Page 26 of this weeks Seaway News under the Turkeys Turkeys Turkey story by Nick Wolochatiuk is a bold slug line. Liberals Vote Against Economic Recovery. This story has no author which is odd even for the Seaway news and goes on to rip the Grits a new one purelyContinue Reading
Scott Lecky is one busy man. He manages the Ramada Inn here in Cornwall, a few other projects keep him busy too, the 3 Plus One Arena project for one which he spearheads. I can’t blame him either. He’s worked hard to develop his business and this facility should help. Continue Reading
So I sat through the special budget meeting at City Council to discuss the situation with the arena. If I understood city staff as they explained this situation the budget is now up 13% at “this stage” which means as each stage rolls by the budget most likely will increaseContinue Reading

DEVELOPING – In a special session today of Cornwall City Council it was decided to move forward at full speed with the 3 plus 1 arena project. With such luminaries as Scott Lecky & Joe Gunn in the audience the presentation, discussion, and debate lasted nearly three hours. We’re busyContinue Reading
I had the opportunity to sit down with Scott Lecky and talk Cornwall. From the 3 Plus One Arena project; to sports; to unemployment in Cornwall (he’s hiring) the Bridge Crisis, and even politics. Interesting guy and as soon as I can decipher my notes, and he emails me inContinue Reading
