Cornwall Ontario – As CFN reported recently the odd circus that has been the city spending wads of cash to make silly vanity videos of Fire Chief Pierre Voisine. LINK Ms Adams is not answering to the costs of the video, but sources have said that city have spent overContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – They say in 12 Step that you can’t truly start your recovery until you hit rock bottom. This 2018 election normally would be that rock bottom. Time will tell if it’s so. A corrupt city management and council have essentially rigged the election. All you have toContinue Reading

Cornwall Ontario – The city likes to give out voodoo numbers when it comes to tax increases, but the bottom line is the bottom line. If you raise taxes nearly 20% per term without increasing revenues something always gives out. Even worse, if you borrow money to pay for aContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – How many cities facing record tax hikes burn through $15K making a vanity video for a fire chief that union sources allege spends too much time at his out of town home instead of serving and protecting the taxpayers of Cornwall Ontario?

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. Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – So I was chatting with a friend who’s nearly 80 and she’s planning to sell her home and leave Cornwall. She shared a few more of her friends were leaving too. Another friend in her 40’s shared that she’s moving to Ottawa and then shares that sheContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – When I ran for Mayor of Cornwall in 2014 I was really clear about our number one issue, taxes. I had a clear plan that would cut taxes by 5%. Now knowing the lay of the land; my false police charges, still not held accountable for byContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – When you talk to people in Cornwall many are stunned to realize how much cash the City of gives to fund Aultsville Theatre and how little the community gets for its dollars, especially during a budget time that just had council pass a motion to keep theContinue Reading

Cornwall Ontario – There’s a dark side to journalism. Play ball, don’t report certain things, report others in favorable terms and you too could do the Heart of the City to City Hall shuffle as Kevin Lajoie did, and now Todd Lihou appears to be doing. All on the public’sContinue Reading

Nothing against Netflix,Continue Reading

OTTAWA ONTARIO – 1. It pays to be a Liberal It certainly pays to be a Liberal and also a defeated Liberal candidate or best buds with Prime Minister Butts AKA the Principal Secretary to Justin Trudeau. Not only can PMO reward you with a cushy job, but you canContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – So after my editorial about Guy Lauzon’s partisan control over Canada Day here in Cornwall a lot of chatter and great ideas have been floated through my inboxes.
