Maybe Stephen Harper was right all those years claiming an unfair media bias…or maybe all those years of claiming media bias are coming home to bite him on his thinking parts, but this election is seeing a clear surge this Thanksgiving weekend of media mania for all things Justin TrudeauContinue Reading
With the reinforcement of the City Council that SD&SG Federal Liberal Candidate Bernadette Clement was a key part of covering up the Chem Tank contract from the public can Justin Trudeau afford a potential scandal? Clearly City Hall knew about the Chem Tanks nearly a year before they were constructedContinue Reading
Patrick Burger, Guy Lauzon, Bernadette Clement, Elaine Kennedy CFN- It was a feisty debate at the Civic Complex last night. Three of the four candidates were ready for battle and battle they did. The Green Party Candidate, Elaine Kennedy, was much more circumspect about the election preferring to talk about theContinue Reading
When CFN started to write about the Chem tanks and then expose former Mayor Kilger and his team at Economic Development team, and CAO for lying to the public about the chem tanks I personally was abused by certain members of the public and other media. (LINK TO ALL CFNContinue Reading
Apparently Stephen Harper has visited S.,D. & G. and proclaimed that rural Canada should have better internet. The problem is not that we don’t have decent internet, it is that we are expected to pay astronomical amounts for data when our urban friends pay a pittance. Especially when our incomesContinue Reading
After posting hundreds of statements and comments on social media Robert “Bob” Noble of Ingleside was served a defamation lawsuit today on behalf of CFN editor Jamie Gilcig. A sample of some them can be viewed on www.hatemirror.com . The process server stated that Mr. Noble flew into a rage,Continue Reading
It’s an odd and strange election here in SD&SG. With MP Guy Lauzon polling with over 60% support there is little doubt he will be re elected. The lack of pork delivered to the riding this term clearly shows that the Harper team feel no threat to SD&SG turningContinue Reading
I had to drive into Montreal for a physical. I’m very lucky, and have had the same amazing Doctor in Westmount since 1984. I think it’s been ten years since he stopped accepting patients, and I’m forever grateful to the late Ivan Eaton for turning me onto a veryContinue Reading
It’s very rare that this Cornwall Council does the right thing. That’s why it was pleasantly odd to see them do exactly that over the Glen Stor Dun Lodge Pharmacy RFP as I wrote about it after that fateful Monday evening. LINK In that piece I posted this question: MondayContinue Reading
I love that image that an area photog did of moi. He meant it badly, mostly because he’s kinda young and probably never understood or watched Citizen Kane. He’s an example of a young person in Cornwall, with some talent, who sold his soul to get the loveContinue Reading
Dear Editor; This election, retirees across Canada are asking Members of Parliament and candidates, and all Canadians, to make sure the next Government of Canada honours its promises and commitments to retirees, and to all Canadians on retirement income security. Employees played by the rules. They served theirContinue Reading
Conservative Tax Credits Are Big Government The Harper Conservative are proposing a tax credit for service club memberships. That follows earlier tax credits for volunteer firemen, children’s organized sports, and children’s organized cultural activities. These are all very noble and worthy endeavours. But do they need tax credits? Do taxContinue Reading
I have to admit I wanted to hear the three leaders of the parties with an actual chance to lead our government debate. Elizabeth May would probably have kicked butt, but it’s important for voters to get as good a chance as they can to see the three contendersContinue Reading
The Quebec National Assembly’s attempt to restore some decorum and at the same time reduce the amount of time wasted by member’s applause in Question Period has merit. But will it work? Would it work in Ottawa? Is it overkill? Question Period can get pretty noisy; just watch CPAC forContinue Reading
Monday night was a rarity for this council. It did the right thing and rejected the recommdation from City Staff to give an Ottawa firm the pharmacy contract to Glen Stor Dun Lodge, or long term care facility. Previously it had been with local long time pharmacy Medical ArtsContinue Reading
Ontario Conservative leader Patrick Brown took his seat at Queen’s Park and took aim at Premier Kathleen Wynne with his first question. He attacked on high hydro rates in the province which the Premier ducked and deflected. What do you think dear CFN viewers? Does Brown have game?Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Tonight council will most likely be giving out nearly $50K to an architectural firm for a feasibility study to create an arts centre in Cornwall or as many in our city are calling it, an utter waste of tax dollars. The community has written cheques to outContinue Reading
The buck stops at the Mayor as he is the leader. Council dictates policy which in a perfect world is enacted by management. Then again sometimes management dictates to a weak and ignorant council lacking vision, leadership, and direction. For the second term in a row Council hasContinue Reading
