CORNWALL Ontario – I was asked what was the hardest part of this last year? Was it the police charges? Was it that after Bell provided a production order that categorically stated that I never made the calls (nearly six months ago!) that the police and crown put forth inContinue Reading
ALFRED (Ontario) — The Alfred College Advisory Committee is glad to see consultations and analysis coming to a close concerning the future of Alfred College, and to know that the report of the facilitator, Marc Godbout, will soon be submitted to Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.Continue Reading
CFN – In this day and age of social media we become more aware of how uneven justice can be. While Justice is supposed to be blind; it also is meant to be evenly applied; but it looks like that may not be the case. Today the CBC did aContinue Reading
CFN – Social media and politics are a strange mix; sort of like Tequila and Gold cards. In today’s age though sometimes what you type can show a lot more than a prudent young politician might want to be displaying. Young Colin Munro of South Glengarry has kicked offContinue Reading
It’s very rare that I appeal to the community and there are some that will suggest that this appeal is strictly for myself; maybe for selfish reasons, but it’s certainly not meant to be treated. On February 7th my life changed. I had gone to court to try and collectContinue Reading
CFN – Today is Labour Day and I just read about the Toronto Star cutting jobs. Of course they are getting flak from Unions; but there is a certain reality that we as a society are facing. 2% or cost of living raises may seem fair; but certain jobsContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Imagine a phone ringing in the blackness of night. You fumble for it and it’s the police. Shaking sleep from your conscious you’re told that you’ve committed a crime. After shaking my head clear and digesting the call from Cst. McGregor of the Cornwall PoliceContinue Reading
CFN – Maddie Di Muccio, Newmarket Councilor and columnist had a take on the future leader of the PC Party in Ontario which she has graciously allowed us to reprint here on CFN. In the wake of last week’s election debacle, now that the political obituaries have been written, it’sContinue Reading
CFN – So the dust is settling on the 2014 Ontario Election. Many Conservatives are crying foul and uttering complaints that Ontario voters are in fact nuts! They can’t believe that Premier Wynne won a MAJORITY for the scandal ridden former McGuinty Liberals. Frankly I’m shocked myself. TheContinue Reading
CFN – Healthcare workers are celebrating their success across Ontario as they take in the election results with Kathleen Wynne’s Liberals winning a majority of seats and Andrea Horwath’s NDP claiming 21 of 107. The healthcare union had openly campaigned for members to “Stop Hudak and save healthcare” by voting for theContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Tonight a very dark cloud covered the province. Dirty politics; dirty tricks; and spending billions of tax dollars and Ontarian’s futures were spent in what has given Premier Kathleen Wynne and her Liberal government the majority that Dalton McGuinty failed to achieve last kick at the can.Continue Reading
CFN – It’s election day and the Liberals are still fighting dirty to the very end. An email was sent around noon from one Blane McPhail from the party, and who has worked for the Liberal government. Should these sort of last day dirty tactics be allowed in thisContinue Reading
CFN – Today I will be voting. It is always a tough call because I want to believe what is said, and then after I must live with the decision, especially hard when it seems most of the campaign promises were empty promises. Everyone has an opinion, but very fewContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Pat Finucan confirmed to CFN that he will be Mayor Bob Kilger’s campaign manager for re-election. He also confirmed that he would not step down as Chair of the Police Board while doing so. He said he spoke to someone; although he didn’t state who thatContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I have personally never seen such an ugly and desolate election as the one occurring here in Ontario. The only blessing is that it’s been a short one. It hasn’t been dragged out. One would have to ask even why it happened? It’s looking as though oneContinue Reading
We live in a world that has become far too politicized. And I’m writing this in my election blog! Early this week the OPPA decided to loudly get into the election fray by commissioning and buying advertising to run an attack ad against Tim Hudak. Now most CFN viewersContinue Reading
CFN – There’s a meme floating around social media. It’s kinda interesting as I think it really encapsulates the reality of apathetic voting; especially here in Canada. Recently on CFN we’ve had a few posters proudly blarble about how they refuse to vote which frankly is scary and sounds likeContinue Reading
CFN – A Minimum wage rise in Ontario is making imports more profitable for exporters from China, India, and other countries while killing manufacturing jobs in Ontario and making it harder for those on fixed incomes to survive. It will make Wal-Mart more money while penalizing those who work forContinue Reading
