Cornwall Ontario – The Cornwall Community Police Service reported an increase from 71 to 91 Sexual Assault charges that were laid in Cornwall in from 2016 to 2017. You can’t blame a lack of resources. The CCPS cost per capita is nearly on par with Toronto and nearly 3 times the cost of the […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN like all media outlets needs revenue to survive. Our original business model was to support local business at reasonable rates. In fact we didn’t have digital ads (like adsense) until the City initiated a conspiratorial boycott that impacted our roster of advertisers, many of whom were threatened and bribed to pull […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN has over 1 million human pageviews monthly. It’s been that way for a awhile, but what quite a few people, and sadly many in the political and business realms locally, don’t get is that whether they like this newspaper, its publisher, or writers, and content is that the majority of the […]
Cornwall Ontario – Lawyers can be a smart bunch, cagey too. It’s rare to get them “on the record” unless they want to be on the record which is why it’s so much fun to get them to chat off the record when the opportunity arises. “Flipper is as good a politician as she is […]
Cornwall Ontario – As budgets rise the city has been hit with another emergency water main break. CFN is just starting to get info from the City of Cornwall again after some drama and childish antics via CAO Maureen Adams and new Public Information Officer Emma Meldrum. We’re hoping that the City will resume to […]
Cornwall Ontario – One wonders what Cornwall CAO Maureen Adams has to hide by not sending releases to the largest newspaper in the city? From excerpts published in other media it certainly doesn’t look highly important? In fact striking CUPE workers and organizers seemed incensed at the nature of the city’s release while chanting GEOFF CLARKE […]
Cornwall Ontario – In a very long interview with former Cornwall Nationals Hockey team owner Will Beauvais he shared quite frankly that he was bewildered when CFN dropped the team as we were their largest marketing partner. He then stated via telephone that it was team manager Rodney Rivette that told him to not communicate […]
Cornwall Ontario – Some might call this column “Sour Grapes”, but it really isn’t. It’s more of a question? Rogers is a large and wonderful company that offers many great services. It also has a huge footprint in hockey; something I know a bit about. My history with the sport professionally started in the 90’s. […]
Cornwall Ontario – After living here in the River City for fourteen years I still get mystified at the tragic load of cow poop that some perpetrate on the public? Sadly because of a culture of exclusion and bullying, I call it the “Ed Lumley” factor, it leads to the demise of potentially good ideas […]
It’s always amazing to see some local ad choices by businesses in the Cornwall area. The newspaper with the most ads (not necessarily ad dollars) has the least amount of news and least amount of viewers. We also have seen the demise of two newspapers, le Journal, which again shows that sadly the francophone market […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN confirmed after speaking with Rodney Rivette of the Cornwall Nationals that the team is meeting today with FHL officials to talk about the survival of the team. With attendance shriveling since it lost its promotional contract with this newspaper, the loss of its admired head coach, and now its star player […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit was hacked according to a release on their website. Those concerned about their private information should read the release below. No release was issued by the Cornwall Community Police Service in their police blotter about the crime. Maybe the EOHU should spend less on their director(Dr. […]
Cornwall Ontario – Thanks to a NDP Freedom of Information request we now know that the Wynne Government spent $5.5 million dollars advertising their putrid sale of Hydro One. A plan that also sees the government essentially financing the sale to unions and groups they want support from. A release from the NDP goes on […]
Cornwall Ontario – For over two days now residents of the Cornwall Ontario have been complaining on anti-social media about strange smells and haze in the area. Speculation and frankly, concerns for health and safety are rampant. Dr. Paul Roumeliotis is the highest paid Sunshine list earner as head of the EOHU. Sadly Dr. […]
Like all media today CFN faces revenue challenges. We face more of them because of the City Hall led conspiratorial boycott of this newspaper. It’s something that actually has damaged the economy of the entire community. There is at this point no business reason to not advertise here as we publish our real […]
Cornwall Ontario – Darren Dalgleish is no more. The mysterious Mr. Dalgeish was reported removed from his position months ago, lawyering up to get at least two other media outlets to drop his story. Today, after an even more mysterious telephone tip, Ministry Director Mike Semansky confirmed that Mr. Dalglieish is no more, and has […]
Cornwall Ontario – I’ve always marvelled what anyone can have against the female breast and nipples? Watch television and people have no issues with shows like The Walking Dead which has some of the most senseless and frightening gore I’ve ever seen in my near 53 years on this planet; but show a nipple […]
Cornwall Ontario – As I was doing my morning social media scroll, Cornwall local Judy Rose posted the video below asking if our Starbucks on Brookdale was part of the Foodshare program which Starbucks started in 2016. Which of course led to an odd situation as our local Starbucks boycotts this newspaper, not even sending […]
