There’s hypocrisy and then there’s the brand of hypocrisy that is part of the Cornwall Ontario Bully Culture. When asked about an incident of alleged bullying, with a racial slant, that occured in his pre police days, this is what Chief Aikman sent to this newspaper. Mr. Gilcig, I received your email of November 22, 2018. […]
Cornwall Ontario – They say in 12 Step that you can’t truly start your recovery until you hit rock bottom. This 2018 election normally would be that rock bottom. Time will tell if it’s so. A corrupt city management and council have essentially rigged the election. All you have to do is look at who […]
Well, I have made several trips to Cornwall over the last six month to find a home. Over time I felt less and less comfortable in these surroundings and I finally had to admit to myself that I just don’t feel safe in Cornwall. There are some very nice homes even though the taxes are […]
I have been searching online for major accomplishments of this Council and came up short other than ongoing significant tax increases over the past 10 years and building the Benson Centre. Tax payers simply cannot afford to leave this Council in power. Each and every day city employees work to meet the needs of taxpayers. […]
February will be the tenth anniversary of this newspaper. That’s a long time and a lot of hard work. It’s resulted in over 1 million human pageviews monthly. LINK Sadly, CFN never became the creative fount of positivity I envisioned when I started this venture in February of 2009. You can’t do creative marketing […]
Cornwall Ontario – It’s odd, some of the requests we get for assistance. As this newspaper is about to celebrate our tenth anniversary of somehow surviving in this culturally toxic town it never stops to astound me how entitled some people think they are? Our first two years we essentially said yes to everyone no […]
MONTREAL, June 15, 2018 — Quebec Superior Court Judge Pierre C. Gagnon hopes to determine by August 31 if thousands of RCMP members across Canada can seek compensation through a class action for years of systematic harassment by senior RCMP officers. His announcement was made today at the Montreal Court House after two days of […]
Cornwall Ontario – It can be bewildering sitting in a council meeting in Cornwall. Monday night was first one in about three years, but more about that in a later editorial. Monday night we were treated to a presentation of information from Transport Canada that any journalist or city staffer could’ve had the same answers […]
Cornwall Ontario – There’s a dark side to journalism. Play ball, don’t report certain things, report others in favorable terms and you too could do the Heart of the City to City Hall shuffle as Kevin Lajoie did, and now Todd Lihou appears to be doing. All on the public’s dime. Now this isn’t […]
Cornwall Ontario – I get a lot of content inboxed. All the political parties try to end around and massage story points, but today’s from Patrick Brown kinda takes the cake. I’ve decided to write this open letter to Mr. Brown and if Patrick wishes he can by all means comment or send a statement […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – Starting CFN in 2009 has been an amazing experience. It’s been brutal in many ways exposing the darkest sides of any community I’ve ever seen not in a cheap tv series or movie. While by far my experience with people in this town has been pleasant, it’s been mostly that on […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – I left Team Cornwall after a sampling of its former President Gilles Latour, who’s now waiting his court dates from charges of fraud, including of his mother. I also am no longer a member of the Cornwall & Area Chamber of Commerce. When I first ran for a seat on its […]
Canada is suffering from a prolonged pandemic of moral self-flagellation promoted by hemophiliac bleeding hearts and militant native agitators. The latest outburst of it is the recent decision of the governors of Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont., to withdraw from an arrangement to erect statues of all 22 of Canada’s former prime ministers on […]
A lot of good people have been hurt this year trying to save the City of Cornwall’s public art gallery. From years of historic corruption, poor governance, and a lack of support in a community that is very very weak artistically the final insults to decency were delivered this week. It’s entrenched why this […]
I mulled over whether to write this story or not. I get abused and attacked every time I highlight something negative about our city; even though what I write about is true. When I wrote about Swastikas in a local high school and used the R word it led to being legally bullied by […]
I had to drive into Montreal for a physical. I’m very lucky, and have had the same amazing Doctor in Westmount since 1984. I think it’s been ten years since he stopped accepting patients, and I’m forever grateful to the late Ivan Eaton for turning me onto a very special doctor. I was born […]
CFN – Today I was in a chat with someone. They mentioned an incident in Cornwall and forgot that it was CFN that stepped up and came to the defense of their own business and that of others. It was one of our first ombudsman pieces and an experience that I was very proud […]
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, and have not only not sent […]
