The clock is ticking again. We have until next Friday, September 13, 2019 for viewers to donate to info@cornwallfreenews.com via e Interac to keep comments on. Right now comments are on for a limited basis. If we get 16 donations by the deadline they will return to full flow for at least 3 more months. […]
It’s a challenge being a media outlet in 2019. If you do your actual job and tell the truth in news you end up being hated by those that control the wheels of power. The simple truth is bad people who do bad things really hate you if you truthfully expose their dirty deeds. In […]
Thanks to some last minute donations, CFN in a limited capacity, is allowing comments until September 30, 2019. We’re hoping to see the public step up and support comments. This newspaper doesn’t get hand outs from the Federal government like certain other media do so it’s up to our community and amazing viewers to make […]
We’ve had a lot of feedback since we announced that we would stop allowing viewer comments on CFN stories after July 31, 2019. So after a lot of internal discussion we decided to allow those that want it to stay to put their money where their mouths are. If we receive enough viewer donations by […]
Did I hear anything about the young girl that took her own life? For the second time in two years I was queried that recently. We don’t like to talk about suicide. The police do not put it on the blotter. Here in Cornwall they refused to give me any numbers or data. After much […]

Cornwall Ontario – One would think that the Catholic Church, after the scandals and issues that they’ve been dealing with, especially in Cornwall Ontario, wouldn’t try and block the light, especially at a high profile meeting of The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops that is taking place, but a report has come out that essentially […]
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 – 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 – 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 […]
Cornwall Ontario – My gosh there are a lot of little political turdettes that take runs at office! People still don’t get it. Being an elected official is serving the public – that includes people that you might not like or even like you. It means that if you’re successful you have to represent everyone […]
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 – 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 – Spring is normally a time that has a good real estate professional chomping at the bit. Likewise professionals that earn their dosh from servicing the sales and renovations of property as well. It’s an extensive net. This Spring things are dead in Cornwall and we examine some of the major factors. Corruption […]
Cornwall Ontario – Our city councilor here in Cornwall, Claude McIntosh, actually once wrote about me having to do all the jobs here at CFN as though it were something to be embarrassed about or amateur. Of course he’s participated on a City Council that boycotts this newspaper and in fact his last column, after […]
