CORNWALL Ontario – It’s been interesting since Hugo Rodrigues was brought into Cornwall to lead the Freeholder. It really has. He’s no dummy, but his Machiavellian gobbleyspin might fool some; but not those that have followed politics. Hugo still has yet to ask the Kilger council the money question regardingContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – This has been a rough year for CFN. The third year of the Kilger boycott has kept us from hiring staff, and even doing investigations of certain stories purely because of a lack of resources and time. We know Cornwall reads CFN because our numbers have goneContinue Reading
Does this image offend you? It should. It does me. Does this one? Can you imagine some drunken idiot putting a picture of someone in the centre of a poppy because they were suspended by Facebook? I know. Insane. When presented this image Bill Maxwell of the Canadian LegionContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Ok,we’re a bit late and are at 51,169 comments since 2009. CFN doesn’t use key word filters. All of our comments have been manually approved. It’s not a perfect system, but one day we may publish a collection of the comments we never published. CFNContinue Reading

I was supposed to make an announcement yesterday and delayed. Frankly I wrestled with whether to go public or not, but after much thought and consideration I have decided to be go through with the announcement. Some may know that my background isn’t journalism, but screen writing. It was myContinue Reading
CFN – The talk one hears around Ottawa these days about Stephen Harper calling a snap election is nonsense. If the prime minister called an election over the determination of Unifor (created last year from the merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions) toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s time for our September 2014 Lihou Report; named after Seaway News Editor Todd Lihou, who raved about their numbers without really giving any numbers. His narrative inspired this new name change in our numbers reporting as CFN has always tried to be upfront about the support we get from you;Continue Reading
As I sit here on September 29th I’m gazing back at the bigger picture of what’s going on here in Cornwall. It’s election time. I know we’re covering it as much as we can on CFN; and people are hungry for information as our traffic is going through theContinue Reading
CFN- We are asking all candidates to fill out our mini survey so the public can get to know them better. We are posting them as they arrive in chronological order. Up next is Jamie Gilcig who is running for mayor of Cornwall. 1) Who are you? I’ve lived in CornwallContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – That wacky Todd Lihou, pictured left, must’ve missed a few classes at J school or simply is ignoring certain principles of traditional journalism? CFN is a Gonzo journal so we do have more latitude, but we adhere to certain basic principles; like telling the truth to theContinue Reading
It’s very rare that I appeal to the community and there are some that will suggest that this appeal is strictly for myself; maybe for selfish reasons, but it’s certainly not meant to be treated. On February 7th my life changed. I had gone to court to try and collectContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Politics has been compared to war in some ways; but sometimes it’s just petty and sometimes it’s just personal. Maybe it’s because The Seaway News is the number three media in Cornwall? ( they moved up after Corus Radio shut down its newsroom losing three jobs inContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s time for our August 2014 Lihou Report; named after Seaway News Editor Todd Lihou, who raved about their numbers without really giving any numbers. His narrative inspired this new name change in our numbers reporting as CFN has always tried to be upfront about the support we get fromContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I hate fake. I hate fake flowers. I hate fake stuff. Mostly I really am not a fan of fake people and fake spin; especially when it’s petty. Yesterday some very silly persons appearing to lack personal integrity tried to showboat with an ALS Ice Bucket challenge.Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Since December 2011 The City of Cornwall, and in particular Mayor Kilger, has led a boycott that has impacted CFN. It was borne of a lie and has spread its tentacles wide and deep not only hurting our news outlet; but hurting the community and economy ofContinue Reading
CFN – Where to start; the political climate in this area is absolutely scary. This does not feel like a community, this feels like a battle between good and evil. I do not believe I need to define who is who, anyone with a functioning brain can see thatContinue Reading
