Dear Editor, Why should I vote? I’m just one person and my vote won’t change a thing. The same people get elected by the same voters and nothing really ever changes. Even if new people get elected the results are still the same. I have heard this many times beforeContinue Reading
There’s a lot of misinformation out there regarding my campaign. This has been one of the dirtiest elections that I’ve personally ever encountered. Sadly the media are playing a huge role in this as well favoring Mayor Kilger. The Seaway News has been on the attack since I’ve announced, andContinue Reading
The ongoing behind closed doors Secret Negotiations with Akwesasne over our Port and Port Land is I believe nothing short of an engineered sham a diversionary tactic by Mayor Kilger attempting to turn our focus away from the truth about the Trillium Tanks on our water front land.

CORNWALL Ontario – One of the reasons why I feel we need a stringent conflict of interest policy at City Hall in Cornwall is what I call the Elaine MacDonald factor. Ms MacDonald frankly is the most corrupt councilor we currently have. She has long ago sold out herContinue Reading
There’s a lot of talk about about Mayor Kilger’s plans for development fees. These are fees that contractors have to pay for land development and use; usually in the industrial park. Many communities have these, but as of now our city does not. This itself is an incentive toContinue Reading
The South Stormont News organized a Debate for Tuesday October 7, 2014 at The Long Sault Marina Restaurant, unfortunately the organizer Mr. Jamie Gilcig developed a sudden medical condition and the event morphed into a Town Hall style meeting.

CFN – As the debate on whether or not Canada should join the military campaign against ISIS heats up it is interesting to watch Justin Trudeau in action. Remember this is the same newly minted Liberal leader who promised to do things differently. He was not going to be likeContinue Reading
CFN – The talk one hears around Ottawa these days about Stephen Harper calling a snap election is nonsense. If the prime minister called an election over the determination of Unifor (created last year from the merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions) toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I’m facing a huge decision in this election. The Chamber of Commerce, in spite of the letter from the Ontario Civil Liberties Association, is not backing down on its demands. For the first time it is forcing candidates to sign a document to participate in theContinue Reading
It’s time for change in Cornwall; but it’s going to take your support to help make that happen! On October 27th you will vote and make that change; but until then we have to get the word out. With some local media refusing to sell my campaign ads or treatContinue Reading
