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 – 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
CFN – Some creative editing of provincial election signs by a local man has concluded with Kingston Police locating and seizing a grow operation in his own residence. On Wednesday, June 4th at approximately 8:00 a.m. a Uniform Patrol Constable observed 35-year-old Michael B. DALTON defacing the electionContinue 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 – So who are we really voting for in this odd limping Ontario election? There are two clear choices; a corrupt and incompetent Liberal Government under Kathleen Wynne which is frankly scary. Or a Hudak led government that will chop over 100,000 jobs; most likely be even more incompetent,Continue Reading
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
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
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
CFN – Linguistic Political Activist Howard Galganov is rolling around the idea of running as an Independent Conservative in the upcoming June 12, Ontario election. The SD&G riding currently is held by PC incumbent Jim McDonell. Liberal John Earle and his hair are running for the Liberals, while ElaineContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Glengarry Prescott Russell looks like it’s in play in the early days of the 2014 Ontario Provincial election according to a snapshot taken on Canada’s premier political blog, Éric Grenier’s threehundredeight.com The snap shot shows the PC’s narrowly defeating Glengarry Prescott Russell incumbent Liberal Grant Crack. In StormontContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Shock, gasp! Andrea Horwath, NDP provincial leader will not support the Liberal budget of Kathleen Wynne! Ok, that was tongue in cheek. It comes down to the formality of whether the preme pulls the trigger herself or allows debate on the budget before it falls at theContinue Reading
Marijuana is not new to anyone here in Cornwall or for that matter just about anywhere else. We live in times where bizarre laws are changing and the public is pushing hard for that change. In Colorado and Washington State Marijuana is now bringing in hard cash into the publicContinue Reading
CFN – There’s a good chance, the best ever actually; that within six months Andrea Horwath will be addressed as The Premier of Ontario. Her future is in her own hands. The scandals plaguing the McGuinty/Wynne government and the lack of leadership of Tim Hudak are her perfect storm. CanContinue Reading
It’s hard to juggle running CFN and getting my campaign going. It’s been particularly hard this past week, what with dealing with a hate group and some of the political knives coming out early. It’s always awesome to get people to out themselves early in the game. This hasContinue Reading
Cornwall ON – There’s a lot of smoke right now as certain political types; mostly rookies with no comprehension of how the system works, about turning le Village in Cornwall into some sort of Arts Enclave. People dream big when spending tax dollars. Odd. Le Village was at one pointContinue Reading

I am hosting an open meeting for declared candidates and those people that may be thinking of running for a COUNCILLOR POSITION. This time it’s downstaris at the NAVY CLUB onContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Cornwall’s waterfront is in play. The Chem tank situation is the Canary in the Coal mine and now our Mayor is at play with the Federal government. Akwesasne is involved is well. What should be alarming to the public is that this is all being conductedContinue Reading
