CFN – What’s the connection between Cornwall Ontario mayor Bob Kilger, former Premier of Ontario Dalton McGuinty & Project Truth which if anything hid the truth from the public rather than expose it to the tune of over $50 Million dollars? The Timeline: 1992 accusations of sexual abuse lead toContinue Reading
Perhaps it was being born in the 50s and growing up in the shadow of the African-American Civil Rights Movement and Vietnam War that governed and informed my earliest understanding that abuses of power and ignorance could exact great and profound injustice. Perhaps it was because, in anContinue Reading
CFN – Could you imagine a city in North America refusing to post an entry link to a three month campaign by the largest media outlet in their city about why their city is awesome on their own Facebook page and websites? A frustrated Maurice Dupelle & Andre Rivette watchedContinue Reading
