Cornwall Ontario – Geez there are fire sales and bad deals, and there is the sweetheart deal that the City of Cornwall is giving the Cornwall Colts for some reason? I mean this is worse than a Marc Bergevin trade. At issue is that the city has two facilities thatContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Last night’s debate involving the four Mayoral candidates revealed true colours and where “THEIR” priorities are. Bernadette continues to show her preference on an art center yet cries about the “poor” in the same breath. The tactic of repeating and repeating the same words like “infrastructure”, “art center,”Continue Reading
The new Council really needs to consider the possibility of having one central location for the new fire station, such as the old Bob Turner site. Attached is a map of the city that clearly shows a 6 minute response time that covers most of the city and is still wellContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The city likes to give out voodoo numbers when it comes to tax increases, but the bottom line is the bottom line. If you raise taxes nearly 20% per term without increasing revenues something always gives out. Even worse, if you borrow money to pay for aContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – October 22, 2018 is almost here. Time to reflect before casting that vote. In the words of Albert Einstein: “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on and do nothing” …which continues to reflectContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – How many cities facing record tax hikes burn through $15K making a vanity video for a fire chief that union sources allege spends too much time at his out of town home instead of serving and protecting the taxpayers of Cornwall Ontario? Economic Development poobah Bob PetersContinue Reading
I was not completely anonymous when I came forward in December 2010 describing the consequences of a micromanager at the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge. One councillor was aware a letter was sent to city council. This is how we found out the severity of censorship (obstruction of justice) within the city asContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The SD&G Ospca twice refused full year ad plans from this newspaper, one paid for by a local businessperson. Playing politics instead of putting the animals first has led to tragic results. “This is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year,” said Carol Link, manager.Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s very hard to be a good liar. Keeping up a false veneer takes a lot of stamina and skill. People like Cornwall City Councilor Bernadette Clement ultimately fail and badly. While Councilor Clement likes to come across as sweetness and light with bountiful positivity more andContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s a scary world we live in when a school teacher commits defamation and refuses to own up to it. We expect teachers to help instil morals in our future citizens. For Cornwall area educator Tracy Champagne her day in court will be coming up shortly. TheContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – For several years now this newspaper has struggled with the CCPS for more transparency and more disclosure. Unlike forces in Kingston they refuse to give out a breakdown of calls of service. They begrudgingly now give out a total of calls for the day although there areContinue Reading
I have been searching online for major accomplishments of this Council and came up short other than ongoing significant tax increases over the past 10 years and building the Benson Centre. Tax payers simply cannot afford to leave this Council in power. Each and every day city employees work toContinue Reading
February will be the tenth anniversary of this newspaper. That’s a long time and a lot of hard work. It’s resulted in over 1 million human pageviews monthly. LINK Sadly, CFN never became the creative fount of positivity I envisioned when I started this venture in February of 2009. Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – With the release of an unauthored letter that was sent to council and complaints from the City of Cornwall Canada Committee member of no audited(or unaudited) numbers being shared, as well as not being invited to committee meetings announced with little to no notice, questions are mountingContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Democracy dies when people don’t tend to it. That means voting. It means being active more than just at elections. It means becoming aware to some degree of what the monkeys at City Hall get up to. I mean we have a city clerk that can’t evenContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Lawyers can be a smart bunch, cagey too. It’s rare to get them “on the record” unless they want to be on the record which is why it’s so much fun to get them to chat off the record when the opportunity arises. “Flipper is as goodContinue Reading
Jack Lindsay is a rarity to Cornwall politics. He’s a successful bilingual business person who has managed many large businesses. He wants to bring his Old School Common Sense approach to City Hall on October 22nd. And he wants to hear from you Cornwall! By phone 613 870 1371 viaContinue Reading
“The world will not be destroyed by evil but by those who watch without doing anything” Albert Einstein. Well it’s that time again to renew councils contracts through our election process. When one is hired to do a specific job and fails miserably should they get their contracts extended anotherContinue Reading
