Cornwall Ontario – In what promises to be the most entertaining race in the upcoming Municipal elections, former mayor of South Stormont Bryan McGillis has announced that he will be running against the current deputy mayor, Tammy Hart. McGillis had been mayor from 2006-2014. He won his first election at 27 and during his last […]
Ontario’s long-awaited election day is finally almost upon us. There is a unanimous view that the Liberals are finally going to be thrown out, bag and baggage, after four catastrophic terms, when the province was mortgaged to hare-brained alarm about climatology and electricity-generating facilities were shut down and solar energy and other nostrums subsidized as […]
Cornwall Ontario – With reports of Advanced Polling down nearly a whopping 15% in SD&SG clearly abuse by local riding teams and Elections Ontario are leading indicators. Instead of advertising for example, where you’re reading this right now, Elections Ontario advertised with US social media companies. Surely someone should be fired for that? Likewise, the […]
Cornwall Ontario – In what has been a very odd election campaign it appears that Doug Ford has kept his cool and will become Ontario’s next Premier on June 7th. Between the political assassination of former PC leader Patrick Brown to the early concession of Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne, it’s been an election of change […]
Cornwall Ontario – The NDP released a video purporting to include a statement from Liberal Education Minister Mitzie Hunter in which the Minister clearly states that the Wynne Government would not use back to work legislation to CUPE. Of course the question is how this CUPE recording ended up in the NDP hands? Or as […]
Cornwall Ontario – Cornwall council has embarrassed the city multiple times over the last few terms. From the Fitzpatrick scandals, to the CFN boycott that included a mayor hitting the panic button over a t shirt he didn’t like, to this writers false arrest during the election while the mayor and his campaign manager were […]
Cornwall Ontario – This has been a mystifying election. Leadership issues with the PC’s, the demise of a Premier and her party, and Andrea Horwath digging her heels in and not doing the right thing, as Doug Ford did, and jettisoning candidates that clearly should not be in elected office. And yes, Hitler memes qualify […]
Cornwall Ontario – A weak council has essentially allowed runaway management raises and hirings, labour unrest, a record budget increase, and general communication breakdowns with media outlets including this one. This month alone we have had to deal with a new public information officer not having CFN on her media list. A list she said […]
Cornwall Ontario – As the slagging goes on it appears that some party staffers missed vetting social media comments across the board. While the PC’s have been tarred and feathered including the dumping of at least one candidate, the NDP are trying to spin a horrific Hitler member added onto Tasleem Riaz’s facebook page in […]
Cornwall Ontario – Even short campaigns have their peaks and valleys. After it became clear that Premier Kathleen Wynne and her Liberals were toast there’s been a huge shift, especially from the Labour Block, back to the NDP which has given Andrea Horwath and her NDP momentum. Lots of momentum. And in elections, especially […]
Toronto Ontario- Only a few more weeks until the election and people are buzzing about the Doug Ford, Andrea Horwath, and Kathleen Wynne battle. Who will win? Everyone is wondering. I asked a few of my former SLC comrades to share who they think or want to win. Jay is a current resident of Brampton […]
Cornwall Ontario – As a quiet provincial election comes out of the long May weekend it’s becoming clearer that this is a two horse race as the PC’s and NDP start to ratchet up the attacks and heat. Premier Wynne is still trying to claw back some support that has bled orange, but that seems […]
Brampton Ontario – With the 2018 provincial election heating up this summer folks are buzzing over what is next to come for Ontario. This (2018) election Brampton is on the rise. All five elected candidates running within the Brampton area districts this election being Sikh reflecting large portions of the community. Did you know that […]
Cornwall Ontario – Imagine that you’re a publisher, editor, or journalist in Ontario in 2018. Times are tough in the newspaper business. Print is dying if not dead. The economy in Ontario is not rosy, especially outside of certain areas like Toronto. And as you scroll through facebook you see this: Lord knows we […]
No matter which political party you’re with advertising is one of the largest expenses in any campaign. You need value, impact, and delivery of your message in the strongest possible fashion. And local is important. How do you expect editors to support you if you’re advertising on outlets that aren’t from Ontario or even Canada? […]

Cornwall Ontario – Looks like Tanya Granic Allen Hudak’d herself and the Ontario PC Party and Doug Ford are taking no chances of giving their opposition any actual ammo to use against them. Video revealed today seems to be the trigger for Doug Ford to dump Tanya Granic Allen. “I hear about Croatia trying to […]
Cornwall Ontario – Running for office isn’t the only way to help a community. For many it’s a vain ego thing. I just turned down a new provincial party looking for a local candidate. Looking around the table here in Council there really are only 1 or 2 that truly get what being a councilor […]
