I was asked to run in the current Federal election as an Independent candidate. A group had come together, cash in hand, ready to roll, but I decided I couldn’t do it with any integrity. Yes it would be fun to stand on stage and debate Guy & Bernie, toContinue Reading
I was chatting with a veteran Cornwall politico this week and the subject turned to a common one; whether current Cornwall mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy was an improvement over the man he defeated, Bob Kilger?

It’s always interesting to see spin emanate from City Hall. It’s rarely graceful. Bob Peters and Kevin Lajoie have teamed to essentially “Brand” Cornwall. It’s been an odd failure of an exercise and some of my fellow journalists have questioned why the City is essentially trying toContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – A mist of burning pig fat and beer farts wafted across Water Street as I returned across our new mighty bridge from the US of A. Ribfest was humming. There were a lot of cars, but I didn’t see a lot of people? It was bewildering.Continue Reading
The one consistent when I’ve entertained offers to purchase CFN these past three years has been the request that I remain in some capacity with the paper. The negotiations that have commenced this week are no different in that aspect. The one big difference was that Cornwall beContinue Reading
