Is it time for a by law in Cornwall to require commercial establishments to ensure that animals they sell have been vaccinated, fixed, and health checked prior to sale? At issue with over 1,000 people on a local social media page is a pet shop in Cornwall Square that sellsContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – There’s a lot of buzz about whether the Cornwall River Kings of the LNAH will survive? The Kings can’t seem to have an owner survive more than a year due to abuse by City Hall.(not counting the fraud that was the Brock Frost ownership) The teamContinue Reading
Happier days in Cornwall for me in that pic. I used to really enjoy Cornwall Ontario, but sadly the bad guys (and girls) can make things less enjoyable for all of us. I got a lot of work done over the holiday break as regular CFN viewers are noticing byContinue Reading
It’s interesting to see what hits a button with people and what doesn’t? In this age of internet newspapers like CFN we get to see direct results by page view counts, comments, and of course Social Media chatter. In 2015 we also live in an age of near OrwellianContinue Reading
In a quadruple media reference this morning a very interesting topic was discussed; online comments by viewers. The media trend now is to shut them down. Locally the Postmedia owned Standard Freeholder has had them shut down for quite awhile, while two other outlets hyper moderate. In ourContinue Reading
Obscene is one way to put it. The way arbitrators treat taxpayers is what I’m referring to. The latest labour contract arbitration award for Cornwall firefighters is nothing short of obscene and short-sighted. In brief the firefighters received 1.5% for Jan. 1, 2013, 1% for July 1, 2013, 1.5% forContinue Reading
What can you say when someone runs on a campaign against City Hall corruption featuring a Whistle blower at his campaign opening and essentially turns his back on her after getting elected? Why that’s almost like stabbing the person that got you elected or having to find a judge toContinue Reading
It’s that time of the year! Twice per year we ask you, our dear CFN viewers to support your favorite source for independent media. All you had to do was watch the coverage from this last election to see how important not only independent media are, but that yourContinue Reading
The buzz is that the Centre Culturel, which currently sits in a building owned by City Councilor Brock Frost will be moving into the Cornwall General Hospital where it will open a French Art Gallery and Library. The group is taking over a large 1000 square foot space as wellContinue Reading
So I have a friend who is an amazing grower. He has a maple sugar bush and grows many strains of amazing Organic Garlic. He called asking if I was going to be at the fest Sunday. I said nope. I would be catching up on house work,Continue Reading
I was chatting with a veteran Cornwall politico this week and the subject turned to a common one; whether current Cornwall mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy was an improvement over the man he defeated, Bob Kilger? This was after Les lost a key vote on hiring of fire fighters at Monday night’sContinue Reading
Bruce Donig parlayed some big headlines complaining about the situation at the Fire Department in Cornwall into a Deputy Fire Chief gig. Now with a little help from the President of the Labour Union, who happens to sit on council, an Ottawa real estate convicted criminal, who also happens toContinue Reading
It’s always interesting to see spin emanate from City Hall. It’s rarely graceful. Bob Peters and Kevin Lajoie have teamed to essentially “Brand” Cornwall. It’s been an odd failure of an exercise and some of my fellow journalists have questioned why the City is essentially trying toContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – One of Cornwall Ontario’s most successful lawyers, Andre Bourgon of Bourgon Law, has offered his assistance to Kristopher & Clayton Cadieux after the city served the family with a threat of fines of $240 per day if the boys continued to sell worms from their 2ndContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – As Robert Cadieux explains it, he was shocked to come home from taking the kids to La Ronde in Montreal to find a notice from the City of Cornwall threatening him with fines of $240 per day. The infraction? His kids selling worms that they pluckContinue Reading
The one consistent when I’ve entertained offers to purchase CFN these past three years has been the request that I remain in some capacity with the paper. The negotiations that have commenced this week are no different in that aspect. The one big difference was that Cornwall beContinue Reading
Not everyone is good or bad, smart or dumb, or even evil pollywosits…. City Hall has restructured after losing Stephen Alexanders salary due to retirement. The city issued the press release below. It gives CFO Maureen Alexander a stronger grip of how things runs as Norm Levac gets readyContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – CFN is putting together a list of the top, or perhaps bottom, list of people in our amazing city. These are the self serving nasties that hold our community back and discredit us again, and again, but for mystic (or not so mystic) reasons are still allowedContinue Reading
