CFN – It does seem blisteringly absent. The very day after Council reversed its decision and voted eight to two in favour of supporting Glen Stor Dun’s recommendation – that the geriatric fire system be retired for a young healthy one – the Freeholder ran the rather flaccid front pageContinue Reading
CFN – I used to be a member of Team Cornwall. Great name. Great concept, a tragic loss of opportunity for our community that essentially seems to be a rah rah excuse for the president, Gilles Latour, who doesn’t even live in Cornwall, or coach hockey in Cornwall,Continue Reading
CFN – Mayor Bob Kilger of Cornwall Ontario ducked the final budget meeting where his council reversed a decision and found the money to fix the fire control issues at Glen Stor Dun Lodge. LINK Mayor Kilger hung up on this scribbler when asked why he wasn’t at the budgetContinue Reading
CFN -You don’t need an expert to say there isn’t a person among us who can predict when a fire might break out. Fires come unexpectedly. Consider Truffles, the Cotton Mills, Shoeless Joe’s and St. Albert’s Cheese, the latter which shocked the community only four weeks ago. Fires move swiftly,Continue Reading
CFN – What an odd mix of circumstances this week has become. It’s one thing to get yanked out of a council chamber and prevented from doing my job over the most innocent of t shirts while a councilor is allowed to remain and still has not been chargedContinue Reading
CFN – That’s our corrupt mayor of Cornwall Ontario Bob Kilger. He’s had a lucky week. Instead of dealing with his conflict of interest issues like his being on the Benson University hit on Council for cold cash and others by a gutless act of hitting the panic button,Continue Reading
CFN – The Concerned Citizens Coalition will be holding a public meeting at the Air Force Wing on Thursday, February 28th at 6:30 pm. The Minister of Health has encouraged us to bring forward a “Community Proposal” regarding the future use of the General Hospital and that is what weContinue Reading
CFN – Does being a city Councilor in Cornwall give you some sort of immunity from the law? This is the question being asked by many in Cornwall Ontario after he moved and damaged protest signs. Protesters and this writer himself witnessed the councilor fold and bend signs thatContinue Reading
CFN – What a dark dark night for Cornwall Ontario. Not only did our mayor not come clean with his alleged conflict of interest, but he invoked an obscure section of the municipal act to have me removed from the council chamber last night. There was a peaceful protest lastContinue Reading
CFN -Can any of you figure out this gobbeldygook? I can’t either. It looks like the mayor and council are trying to sneak some procedural and by law stuff through the minutes for actions taken in camera. I could be wrong? It sure is boggling….These are from the agenda tonightContinue Reading
CFN -The problem with the municipal act in Ontario is that it’s literally toothless. EXPLOSIVE LINK Nineteen cities and towns met in secret over 15 months, more engaged in questionable conduct and a few even obstructed investigation by Ombudsman Andre Marin. “Some (municipal councils) are shockingly secretive, suspicious andContinue Reading
CFN – And the bizarre twists of Mayor Kilger and his council towards a simple motion to link from the City of Cornwall’s Facebook page and websites to support our now cancelled 100 Letter campaign rolled out in the latest agenda released today. SUBMITTED BY: Councillor: Maurice Dupelle NEW BUSINESSContinue Reading
CFN – That’s the money question that many are asking in Cornwall. What About Bob? The buzz all over City Hall today is whether the mayor will either declare or ask if he is in conflict of interest by another councilor at Monday’s night’s council meeting at CityContinue Reading
CFN – There’s a lot to like about Cornwall Ontario. I know it’s why I choose to make this city my home. Like many places though there are some that don’t play nice with others. The best thing to do is to try to work around them; tolerateContinue Reading
CFN – That mean looking hombre on the right is power lawyer Will McDowell, partner at the law firm that represented Toronto Mayor Rob Ford over his Conflict of Interest charges. From his firm’s website: In his wide-ranging practice, Will has appeared as counsel in many important cases focusing onContinue Reading
CFN – One of the reasons I love and hate Cornwall is the utter needless complexity that some people create. Instead of finding common ground and working together to better the community, egos whip up strange breezes of weirdness. Such is the Community Action Group of Cornwall. Led byContinue Reading
CFN – Like a scene from the movie Chinatown Cornwall City Council and their legal team led by David Sherriff Scott convened in a closed door meeting this afternoon. Cornwall mayor Bob Kilger was mysteriously absent from the meeting and a dais with speaker phone set up. Perhaps CourtneyContinue Reading
CFN – Maybe Claude’s got it right? Puke up whatever venom comes to mind without being there or having any grasp of reality? After all, you only need to have your editor make a hidden retraction right? After having to make two retractions on behalf of their veteran scribbler ClaudeContinue Reading
