Cornwall Ontario – It was a flawed election Monday night. Clearly there was an issue with the electronic voting as the city’s website kept flashing to zero votes and then trickling in amounts. Electronic voting is hinky at best. Stories have been done about kids hacking the system. For the second term long time Councilor […]
Dear Editor, On Friday October 26, 2018, Cornwall takes a giant leap… toward irrelevance. Bad enough the city lost its bus terminal years ago, or that VIA Rail is about to chop it from the Windsor-Quebec corridor, but now, a first nail is being driven into the Cornwall Regional Airport coffin. Friday October 26, is […]
Cornwall Ontario – They say in 12 Step that you can’t truly start your recovery until you hit rock bottom. This 2018 election normally would be that rock bottom. Time will tell if it’s so. A corrupt city management and council have essentially rigged the election. All you have to do is look at who […]
Cornwall Ontario – Cornwall pharmacist Andrew Hanna did not respond to CFN after a viewer submitted two pages of issues with the College of Pharmacists. We were told he was hiding unavailable until at least Monday. The charges are quite serious. Nabilone is a form of Cannabis, while Ziprasidone is a drug used for schizophrenia. Have […]
Picking the lesser evil! Four years ago, I voted for Leslie O’Shaughnessy because Bob Kilger allowed the city to crucify whistleblowers and chose to protect the abusers instead! So I chose the lesser evil! My gut at the time knew that O’Shaughnessy would be no different but I took the chance that maybe, just maybe, […]
Well, I have made several trips to Cornwall over the last six month to find a home. Over time I felt less and less comfortable in these surroundings and I finally had to admit to myself that I just don’t feel safe in Cornwall. There are some very nice homes even though the taxes are […]
Cornwall politics are essentially shameless, corrupt, and frankly the government we collectively deserve. No other issue highlights this better than the BMO farcical art centre hustle. Essentially for over 30 years the city doled out a very very meagre amount of money to sustain the charity that was our Public Art Gallery. Run by fumble […]
Please excuse the edits. It is the city of Cornwall that educated me. They did not do a very good job on the English. Please read the additions. It is to laugh. There is not a Mayor candidate in this election that is worth supporting. The councilors are not any better. They are totally out of […]
It’s election time and campaigning has begun. If you are anxious and nauseous about it, you are not alone. Four years truly pass quickly yet people forget the previous campaign only to be told the exact same lie four years later. One has to ask what are these people smoking? I can tell you what […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN has over 1 million human pageviews monthly. It’s been that way for a awhile, but what quite a few people, and sadly many in the political and business realms locally, don’t get is that whether they like this newspaper, its publisher, or writers, and content is that the majority of the […]
Cornwall Ontario – Last night’s meet, greet, and debate revealed that politicians do lie and I and Council candidate Brent Charles was surprised to finally get an honest answer from Cornwall Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy regarding his failures and lies broken promises as a mayor. During the meet and greet, O’Shaughnessy was asked about the justification of the approximately […]
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 that have far too much empty […]
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,” “partners” felt like a brainwashing […]
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 well within the allowable response times […]
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 a tax increase, as Cornwall did […]
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 reflect this Councils lack of ability […]
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 Peters seems to be sending wads […]
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 as council did not receive their […]
