CORNWALL Ontario – Like something out of the movie Chinatown it looks like the Mayor and some of his team have been caught gerrymandering in the dark with regards to the divestiture of Harbour lands in Cornwall. What should simply have been a municipal government yielding to the will of the tax payers and fighting […]
CORNWALL Ontario – City Hall here in Cornwall just issued a release stating that Trillium Distributing Cornwall Inc. is going to halt for a month while ongoing talks continue. Frankly that’s frightening. The Mayor and Council have still refused why Economic Development knew about the project starting in February 2013. Council has not brought […]
CORNWALL Ontario – That’s Todd Lihou, editor of The Seaway News which is owned by TC Media (Transcontinental). It used to be known as The Shoppers News or Shopping News and is a free weekly hand out. Mr. Lihou was hired after a meeting occurred where Rick Shaver, former part owner asked me to […]
The colossal mistake of building chemical storage tanks on our waterfront is a prime example of a city council lacking clear direction, which I must take some responsibility for. We desperately need a city council that can focus on an agenda that will bring some meaningful progress to our city. Resignations, criminal charges, huge payoffs and secret […]
Are you kidding me, city officials are powerless to stop the construction of the illegal chemical storage tanks that are being built on our waterfront! This is insane. The company ignores the “Stop Work Order” and they forge ahead with the tank farm. If an ordinary guy ignored an Order, he would have been […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Holy Gilles Latour surprise surprise, Trillium Distribution Cornwall Inc. filed an appeal of Cornwall’s hastily put together by law. They of course waited until the very last day thus dragging things down and I gather hoping that the waters, or chemicals, would cool? This will lead to further costs to taxpayers which […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Guess who wrote this commentary? It’s city council’s main responsibility. Once a year they decide how to spend your tax dollars, my tax dollars. The budget process finished up yesterday and I sat through the entire thing for three and half days. It was …well….it was an experience. Councillor Andre Rivette seems […]
Cornwall Ontario – Part of the 11th Councilor Column will be guest appearances by current and former Municipal elected officials. Today’s guest 11th Councilor is former Cornwall Ontario Mark A MacDonald. Mr. MacDonald also ran against Bob Kilger in the last election and ran for MPP. When not playing music he’s involved in […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Service Club Council of Cornwall and the District is getting involved in the No Tanks issue. The club which represents such groups as The Knights of Columbus, The Kinsmen & Kinettes, Catholic Women’s League, Royal Canadian Legion, Cornwall Lions club, Cornwall Optimist club, RCAF Wing, Cornwall Rotary & Rotary Sunrise, […]
CORNWALL Ontario – The City of Cornwall has spent a lot of money hiring a team of consultants to initiate a new study, in an election year, focused on Cornwall being our place. Of course it’s phrased “My Place” and judging from the behavior of the Mayor and his cronies on council the term has […]
Cornwall Ontario – He’s so nice. She’s so nice. Look how well he dresses are not really criteria for voting for a mayor, councilor, MPP or MP; or even dog catcher. Frankly I think many voters forget that we are electing people to spend our money and make decisions that cost us money. […]
Cornwall Ontario – I get asked a lot about local politics. Young people, old, heck sometimes by politicians themselves. There is a lot of material in Cornwall which can be good and bad. With elected officials and some management playing games with the releasing of info I thought it’d be time […]
The “Cornwall Is My Place” inspirational evening that is being organized by the City and their CONSULTANTS, is a complete joke. . Our elected officials do not need to have another meeting for public input. . The public has been telling them about our beautiful waterfront for years and yet chemical tanks are being constructed at the […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s really weird covering a story when you’re in the story. As many of our viewers know I’m an activist at heart. Beaver Gate; defeating Wal-Mart over the First Student Drivers Survivor Weekend, finding lost dogs and people… So when I discovered and started to cover the Chem Tanks being […]
Cornwall Ontario – That’s Todd Lihou, editor of The Seaway News. He also has worked for the Freeholder in the past. Yesterday Mr. Lihou, as editor of the Seaway News, published an article by Claude McIntosh. Mr. Lihou also has gone to journalism school. Now in the public one must have thick skin, […]
Rally from MP Lauzon's Office to City Hall Saturday Jan 17 at 2 PM
Cornwall Ontario – There’s a rally Saturday January 18, 2014 at 2 PM. It’s to repeat the message to those that make the decisions that we the people of Cornwall want NO TANKS on the former Kaneb Oil Tank property. But this is more than that. This is about the future of […]
Cornwall Ontario – Tonight, at 7 p.m, Cornwall’s city council held a special meeting pertaining to the health and safety of all the city’s residence. The issue being, the two tanks planned to contain calcium chloride. This all originally started because Transport Canada leased Federal lands to Trillium Distribution. There has already been three meetings […]
With all due respect to our MP Guy Lauzon, your recent statements regarding the chemical storage tanks issue are completely opposite to the message from the community. There is only one solution. NO TANKS — STOP NOW. I encourage people to sign a petition, attend a meeting or rally, call a politician, just do whatever […]
