CFN chatted with Cornwall City Councilor Maurice Dupelle over the Chem Tank scandal and cover up that has leaked its way into the Federal election as Councilor Bernadette Clement is running for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. While many media and politicos are targeting Lauzon the cover up clearly was by theContinue Reading
The Garlic Fest in Cornwall helped fill the massive void in the community after the failure and end of Lift Off. Sadly though the same type of organization and thinking that doomed Lift Off and Winterfest have permeated this event like garlic that oozes from our pores after we’ve eatenContinue Reading
So with one week to go where do we stand with one of Canada’s longest elections? Stephen Harper clearly will not enjoy another majority which has many Canadians rejoicing. Scandal after scandal has plagued his government, but most simply have grown tired of the politics of fear mongering andContinue Reading
As we get closer to the 19th it seems the local Liberals are feeling the frustration from trailing so badly in the poll numbers. Or simply they have an utter boob as a riding President and simply didn’t replace him as they never had much hope of actuallyContinue Reading
With the reinforcement of the City Council that SD&SG Federal Liberal Candidate Bernadette Clement was a key part of covering up the Chem Tank contract from the public can Justin Trudeau afford a potential scandal? Clearly City Hall knew about the Chem Tanks nearly a year before they were constructedContinue Reading
After posting hundreds of statements and comments on social media Robert “Bob” Noble of Ingleside was served a defamation lawsuit today on behalf of CFN editor Jamie Gilcig. A sample of some them can be viewed on www.hatemirror.com . The process server stated that Mr. Noble flew into a rage,Continue Reading
It’s an odd and strange election here in SD&SG. With MP Guy Lauzon polling with over 60% support there is little doubt he will be re elected. The lack of pork delivered to the riding this term clearly shows that the Harper team feel no threat to SD&SG turningContinue Reading
I had to drive into Montreal for a physical. I’m very lucky, and have had the same amazing Doctor in Westmount since 1984. I think it’s been ten years since he stopped accepting patients, and I’m forever grateful to the late Ivan Eaton for turning me onto a veryContinue Reading
It’s very rare that this Cornwall Council does the right thing. That’s why it was pleasantly odd to see them do exactly that over the Glen Stor Dun Lodge Pharmacy RFP as I wrote about it after that fateful Monday evening. LINK In that piece I posted this question: MondayContinue Reading
I love that image that an area photog did of moi. He meant it badly, mostly because he’s kinda young and probably never understood or watched Citizen Kane. He’s an example of a young person in Cornwall, with some talent, who sold his soul to get the loveContinue Reading
Monday night was a rarity for this council. It did the right thing and rejected the recommdation from City Staff to give an Ottawa firm the pharmacy contract to Glen Stor Dun Lodge, or long term care facility. Previously it had been with local long time pharmacy Medical ArtsContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Tonight council will most likely be giving out nearly $50K to an architectural firm for a feasibility study to create an arts centre in Cornwall or as many in our city are calling it, an utter waste of tax dollars. The community has written cheques to outContinue Reading
The buck stops at the Mayor as he is the leader. Council dictates policy which in a perfect world is enacted by management. Then again sometimes management dictates to a weak and ignorant council lacking vision, leadership, and direction. For the second term in a row Council hasContinue Reading
City Councilor Bernadette Clement looked more blue than red as she finally kicked off her campaign in Morrisburg yesterday. The heat was unbearable and wilted the crowd of mostly seniors and staffers. Ms Clement looks like the heat was getting to her in the picture above during the hotContinue Reading
I had two odd conversations with two journalists in the last 24 hours. The first was a late night ping on facebook when a disgruntled journo asked if I’d seen the shameless cover of the latest seeker. I answered no, because like many in Cornwall I don’t readContinue Reading
CFN – It was a great day for the 1st Annual Eastern Ontario Garlic Festival in Cornwall’s Lamoureax Park. You couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was bright and sunny with a cool breeze blowing off the river. While we were setting up at 8 AM you could seeContinue Reading
So I have a friend who is an amazing grower. He has a maple sugar bush and grows many strains of amazing Organic Garlic. He called asking if I was going to be at the fest Sunday. I said nope. I would be catching up on house work,Continue Reading
As we prep our report card for council for the first half of 2015 there was some discussion about who will run for mayor possibly and who may or may not run for council from this motley group? The buzz is that there’s a chance of a duel between CouncilorsContinue Reading
