CORNWALL Ontario – A Kilgeresque moment Monday night at a special Cornwall Ontario City Council meeting as Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and Councilor Elaine MacDonald refused to declare themselves in Conflict of Interest even though they are on the very steering committee that was seeking cash.

Dear Editor, I am a concerned Canadian citizen and believe it is my civic duty to protect the rights of children in our country and our community from segregation. The act of separating English and French children on different buses is promoting segregation and division across both linguistic groups. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/acadian-society-says-bilingual-buses-promote-assimilation-1.3019136 . Tensions are rising inContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – The City of Cornwall’s signature event has been grounded for 2015. There will be no 21st Lift Off this year.

CORNWALL Ontario – There may be something that artists in Cornwall Ontario can learn from Firefighters. The charade that has been this year’s budget committee has given lip service to cutting taxes. With half of council having signed a pledge to do so it seems the only things cutContinue Reading
CFN – Here in Cornwall Bernadette Clement announced that she will be attempting to be the candidate for MP in the 2015 election. There’s been a lot of chatter, but one question that keeps coming up is whether an Independent candidate could win and whether more should run? As someContinue Reading
