CORNWALL Ontario – Unsurprisingly work recommences at the Trillium Distribution Cornwall Inc. site.  Despite rallies, petitions and a clear message to the  politician’s our voices have gone unheeded. At root is Mayor Kilger and Council’s refusal to speak to the issue of the Mayor’s press release which confirmed communication toContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – A disturbing trend is occurring so far in the upcoming 2014 Municipal elections in Cornwall Ontario, and that is a total lack of female candidates. As I type these words only 1 out of 13 candidates for office is a woman.    That’s scary.  In nearby SouthContinue Reading
