As many of you know I have been the only candidate running for Mayor of our fair city now for a few months now. There’s a lot of chatter whether Mayor Kilger will run again. Most say that he won’t. His good buddy Claude McIntosh wrote about two months agoContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I was prepared for just about anything tonight. It’s been a crazy Ontario election here in SD&G. Public interest has been at a minimum. This election’s Chamber of Commerce debate had about 100 less than last elections and most of the crowd was very very partisan withContinue Reading
CFN – Did NDP leader Andrea Horwath agree to call an election just to get rid of Tim Hudak? Polling is showing very little over all movement. On Eric Grenier’s Threehundredeight.com support shows that the NDP really are not going to improve in spite of a scandal plagued LiberalContinue Reading
Council debated an injunction regarding the loss of Eorla lab positions at our hospital. It’s an interesting debate; but sadly missing a key element and partner; and that’s the hospital itself. One of the things I’ve discovered is the thickness of layering of relationships politically in Cornwall. It’sContinue Reading
I am not sure if very many Canadians realize this; but “discrimination by language”, in our country is legal. Yes, you heard it. LEGAL; as in guaranteed by the Charter of Rights. Under Equality Rights 15.(1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the rightContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Alas the River Kings, we knew them well. That David Murphy is quite a guy. He likes to sound like a game show host, but he also appears to be a string puller in the background using his clout at City Hall and with the Benson Group.Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s a ho hum race here in SD&G with all but most certain that MPP Jim McDonnell expected to pull in nearly 70% of the vote. The only real question is whether Liberal John Earle and his hair will fall into third place behind Elaine MacDonald andContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – People like Kevin Hargreaves just don’t get it. They don’t understand. That’s fine if you’re an average Joe or Jane, but when you are President of a Chamber of Commerce it’s quite another thing. My history with the Chamber has not been a pretty one. As aContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Mayor Bob Kilger has become nearly invisible as he devotes that last gasps of his term in office to secret meetings with the Federal Government and Akwesasne over proposed waterfront divestiture discussions. Over a decade ago such conversations took place, but rightly so Cornwall officials ducked itContinue Reading
CFN – Last week the Conservatives had great fun targeting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair for the way his party used House of Commons dollars to pay staff in a regional Montreal office. Outside of the joy politicians and their staff get out of beating up on another party’s leader- whatContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Bob, Bob, Bob. It’s time to hang it up. I know the buzz is your busy helping the Feds dump the harbor properties on we poor taxpayers of Cornwall. I get it when you sleep more nights away from Cornwall than here that youContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Mayor Bob Kilger of Cornwall Ontario did it again. Rumors are that the local Corus Radio station and he are not on speaking terms because of a staffer that let him have it on his last day. ERIC SPENCE STORY Bobby holds grudges. He loves toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I had an interesting chat with two of Cornwall’s finest last night. Mayhem broke out at the Waterfront Committee meeting. CFN and myself were blindsided. For a few years now our high school drop out mayor, Bob Kilger, and some of his friends; I guess becauseContinue Reading

Mrs. Hart gave out interviews with otherContinue Reading
CFN – Why is Ontario Preme Kathleen Wynne getting her ass handed to her by a boob? Disconnect with the people of Ontario. Cutting Clean Air for cars by $5? Fail. The Liberals chose to not distance themselves from Dalton McGuinty by choosing Ms Wynne instead ofContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Nurse Christopher Cameron if anything is a very determined person. He has been protesting in front of the Eastern Ontario Health Unit which allegedly only hires bilingual staff in spite of Ontario not being a bilingual province and the vast majority of the city being English speakers.Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – According to threehundredeight.com Liberal John Earle has fallen behind the NDP into third place. The website run by Eric Grenier uses formulas that combine popular poll results. It shows that not only is current MPP Jim McDonell a shoe in to return to his seat; butContinue Reading
