CORNWALL Ontario – CFN reached former City Councilor Denis Carr in Newcastle UK today and asked him if he was prepared to serve again after the announcement of Brock Frost’s resignation. He took a moment from the family trip to share that he would be prepared to discuss it asContinue Reading
CFN – Deputy Judge Raymond H Gouin handed down an Ontario record decision of cost against Richard and Ruth Currier of Ingleside Ontario after their Small Claims Case against Jamie Gilcig, editor of CFN, was tossed out of court after a motion to dismiss. Hate Group Leader & Good FriendContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – If proven guilty it should be interesting to one day learn if the Cedars on Wheels people chose their location because it was right across the street from the police station in Cornwall; something that CCPS Deputy Chief Danny Aikmen termed as “Bold”. Guns and Drugs, rightContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – This can be a very very odd town to not only cover news, but deal with how stories are covered. Cornwall Housing threatens to evict seniors and tenants if they put in window air conditioners and we’re the only outlet to cover the story. Not a peepContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – The latest presser from Team Cornwall announcing Jim Brownell as the key speaker shows how disconnected the group has become. Frankly it may be time to either sit down and figure out what Team Cornwall really should be or disband it. Having Jim Brownell be a keyContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – What a furry week it’s been. It’s been an odd mix, good and bad, ignorant and nasty with spots of hope and joy. I’ve been getting some missives complaining that I’ve been writing less here on CFN and well…that’s true. Part of me is glad toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – As many regular CFN viewers know, we don’t just cover the news, but we become active in a story and have been known to advocate for our community. I was alarmed and disturbed to hear from several residents of Cornwall Housing units who have been threatened withContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – A group is forming which will lead to the filing of a formal Conflict of Interest complaint against Cornwall Ontario Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy, and Councilors Elaine MacDonald and Carilyne Hebert. The incident stems from a group that came to council seeking funds that all three are onContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Last night was odd and funny. Cornwall City Council debated a new committee to hash out a Code of Conduct. There is the municipal act, the Council and CAO covenant (a joke document that the Mayor said isn’t even implemented) , and just plain common sense, butContinue Reading
CFN – It looks like our MPP Jim McDonell picked the wrong horse as Patrick Brown has stunned Ontario and beaten favorite Christine Elliott for the PC leadership. SD&SG voted for Brown although Mr. McDonell had emails sent out to members supporting Elliott. At stake was the vision ofContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – There are some excited and joyous about Wal-Mart taking over the old Target warehouse facility. There’s talk of a few hundred more jobs. More jobs of course is never a bad thing, but sadly to this writer this is not good news. Competition for positions is goodContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Lt-Col. Steven Young of the SD&G Highlanders, known as the Glens, will tell everyone who will listen that the unit is short staffed. Since taking over the unit numbers have drifted to about half strength. Could one of the reasons why the unit have such a low amountContinue Reading
CFN – A recent Standard Freeholder story starts off with a very telling question. “How do you justify spending $100,000 of tax money on marketing purposes?” That’s what we call a “money question” not because of the cash in play, but because it rips to the root of the act.Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Politics are a fascinating fact of our lives. They embrace the truly worst of human nature and rarely our best. It’s a blood sport. The results impact all of our lives in so many ways. After the utter historic failure of Tim Hudak the OntarioContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s been a whirlwind of a week here in Cornwall and CFN Central. As many viewers know all of my criminal charges have now been dropped. Chiefly the police charges that I’d made threatening phone calls and uttered threats against Mike Bedard, formerly of Roy’s & PlatinumContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – A Kilgeresque moment Monday night at a special Cornwall Ontario City Council meeting as Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and Councilor Elaine MacDonald refused to declare themselves in Conflict of Interest even though they are on the very steering committee that was seeking cash. (and apparently will receive it.)Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I took Sunday off. I wanted to mull this piece before scribbling it onto the web. This weekend saw something incredibly positive happen for Cornwall that proves a major point I’ve been standing on for several years. People in the region care more about Arts and CultureContinue Reading
CFN – In what must be a terrible embarrassing moment Glengarry Prescott Russell Liberal MPP Grant Crack seems to be caught playing solitaire on his tablet at Queen’s Park. MPP Crack has not responded to CFN as of publication of this story. The photo was captured from the facebook pageContinue Reading
