Cornwall Ontario – I received an email from a college alumni today. They wanted to use a CFN photo of a certain politician. This numpty financially boycotts this newspaper. His track record is he got elected back home because of his family name after failing at the political game inContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Monday was a rainy drizzly day in Cornwall. Apparently our mayor, not big on original thought or ideas of his own, tried to team up with another sizzling mind in MP Guy Lauzon to have a partisan party in Lamoureux Parc at taxpayer expense. Did youContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – I live in a very strange community. Here in Cornwall the people that clean city hall can’t run for council. Yet Elaine MacDonald, President of the Labour Council, can. That’s letting the fox in the henhouse when it comes to the staff that make theContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Cornwall City Council finally agreed at a residential tax hike for this budget of just under 2%. Much gnashing of teeth and rendering of garments as Councilor Elaine MacDonald and her pet monkey bemoaned the small increase after failing to bump it up to near 3%. “We areContinue Reading
What a pleasure to come on my Facebook page and not have to see all the “cop-sucking” by the tin pot dictator running the right wing rag in CONwall. The crime-infested SEWER polluted with HATE MONGERS. The city where city council knows the people are not “intelligent enough to electContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – This morning I received a release from a major Home Store chain. It was professionally written and normally I’d be intrigued. I emailed back explaining that we’d love to assist, but that we generally don’t do so for businesses that boycott us. That means if weContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – One of the biggest problems in managing the school system in Ontario are the multitude of school boards and weakness of politicians to make the right decisions. Four year terms pass fast, and making a decision like closing a school or library can cost at election timeContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – A CFN viewer emailed in upset over an alleged cover up over a missing gun from the armoury. We get lots of information from the public. Each case has to be evaluated and of course verified because even a gonzo newspaper has to tell the truth. TheContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Viewer comments at their best add immensely to the news consuming experience. At their worst…well anyone that’s read a facebook debate knows what I typeth of.

Cornwall Ontario – I live in a very strange community. Ignorance and corruption are literally destroying our local economy. Now two of the main three media are for sale, and the Standard Freeholder is rumored to be wobbly. Corus Radio chopped its newsroom staff a few years ago asContinue Reading
Patrick Brown PCs Vote Against Safer School Zones Act TORONTO ONTARIO – This afternoon following Question Period, Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry MPP Jim McDonell and the Ontario PC Caucus voted against important legislation that protects school children, seniors, other pedestrians and cyclists.

Cornwall Ontario – Milena Cardinal once told this writer that journalism is the last defence for a democratic society and that we should spend more time in courtrooms holding justice accountable. Having gone through many court cases since living here in Cornwall what I’ve noticed is that most cases don’tContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Franckly (yes, spelled that way on purpose) it was most disturbing to see the Canadian Legion roll out the dog and pony show over Franck Gervais who misguidedly and apparently well intentioned, was charged under section 419 of the Canadian Criminal code for wearing a military uniform.Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The Counties of SD&G and the City of Cornwall are essentially waving their dirty laundry around as they duke it out in public over their shared services issues. Essentially both councils lack the ability to professionally work together. The County for example, did not send their letterContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – In 2014 I asked if politicians should still be in the closet. Today, in 2017, rising conservative star and North Dundas Mayor Eric Duncan surprised very few people by coming out. He came out on of all places Linked in. He didn’t issue a press release;Continue Reading
