CORNWALL Ontario – It was another embarrassing night for the local Federal Liberal riding association under President Jamie Labonte. The lightly employed prez saw his guest speaker for the spaghetti fund raiser not show up and a crowd of less than 30 attended at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Sadly itContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – I’m going to pay a rare compliment to our city council. Maybe rare shouldn’t be the term. Because of the weirdness that was the Kilger council of the last term there was very little to compliment our elected officials about. Nearly half of our currentContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – What’s in a name? Well if you’re name is Justin it might just be a hot thing in the 2015 as a Federal election is zooming up. Some think that our PM will even trigger an early vote. Here in SD&SG our MP Guy Lauzon hasContinue Reading
