Cornwall Ontario – I always marvel at the depths that the Bob Peters, Bernadette Clement, Guy Lauzon cliques, and their sillier psychophantic followers, will sink to in proving, that one, they aren’t terribly good at what they do, and two, that whether or not they like it the vast majorityContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Some Cornwallites can be hyper sensitive about any discussion of the reality of our community. They don’t want to look at failures or miscues, but instead simply raise taxes and hope the issues go away, or simply bully those who point out that our many wannabeeContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – When I heard about the case of one of Canada’s most decorated soldiers, Collin Fitzgerald, being utterly screwed over by our court system right here at the Cornwall court house I rushed over. Because of this newspaper a requested gag order by the crown might haveContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – One of the saddest thing about the clique politics of a small tiny town like Cornwall Ontario is that the clique usually fails at what they do. It’s sad. It’s sadder that people are allowed to be in positions to fail rather than be inclusive or remotelyContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It’s only 1.48%, but how many in Cornwall are not seeing their incomes go up by that much? And of course while the percentage may sound small, these taxes rarely if ever go down. Again, how many on council actually earn a living other than by theContinue Reading

CORNWALL ONTARIO – Unlike Hugo “The Hack” Rodrigues at the Freeholder, I’m not afraid to give someone credit when credit is due. Nor do I not mention their name like a silly silly petty person. His Friday editorial hits the nail on the head. Instead of dealing with the adversityContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – One of the things I’ve always said about Cornwall that’s great is that you can get anywhere in less than ten minutes. City Hall has found a way to ruin that; perhaps courting Montrealers to feel at home and move here by allowing construction jobs of majorContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – It’s been said that people in Cornwall Ontario have less of a sense of humor than most Middle Eastern countries. Memes litter social media. Many are quite funny. Cornwall Memes was a huge success with over 5,000 people clicking like on facebook before local police visited itsContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Starting CFN in 2009 has been an amazing experience. It’s been brutal in many ways exposing the darkest sides of any community I’ve ever seen not in a cheap tv series or movie. While by far my experience with people in this town has been pleasant,Continue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – It’s odd that as teachers salaries keep going up students results in the area keep going down? In this years results we see that Francophone Catholic public schools locally are getting better results according to this year’s Fraser Institute rankings of schools in Ontario.

Cornwall Ontario – Holy Gilles Latour! The former Liberal bag man spoke to Bill Kingston, and reading his words you almost want to pat him on the back and put a few coins in his cup. However the evidence that has been displayed so far paints a different picture.Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – I live in a very odd community. It’s as though the bottle is upside down and nothing spills. Former Team Cornwall President Gilles Latour, who is still facing 43 criminal charges, was fined $900,000.00 by the MFDA for all sorts of icky things against his investmentContinue Reading
CORNWALL ONTARIO – I left Team Cornwall after a sampling of its former President Gilles Latour, who’s now waiting his court dates from charges of fraud, including of his mother. I also am no longer a member of the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce. When I first ranContinue Reading

CORNWALL ONTARIO – Cornwall By Law Officer Larson Payette is a busy boy. He is involved in the false vicious dog citation given to a city man which appears to be heading towards the same courts as the case of Doug & Rachelle Raymond who have engaged local lawyerContinue Reading
It is time. Cornwall is at a critical point in its history. With a struggling downtown, a weak economy, proposed school closings, a destructive brain drain of our youth, and a toxic business and political culture there are some easy steps forward, and some more difficult ones.
