Cornwall Ontario – Justice Deborah Kinsella, who brought a Judge Judy pencil bag to trial, gagged a case this writer covered. Not only did she place a gag order on the plaintiff and defendant. She put the same order on the witnesses. While there is a reason to gag elements of a case, to […]
Cornwall Ontario – I’d like those of you that read this that actually care about the arts locally to think about this. Digest it. Taste it like a fine wine please. The City of Cornwall, led by Mayor Bernadette Clement and “her girls” will spend about the same money this year keeping the Bank of […]

CFN started to get calls and messages early this morning stating that staff at Cornwall Square were let go. The mall mysteriously was announced to be sold at a fire sale rate after previous announcements of part of it to be demolished and the mall repurposed. Oddly enough the name of the buyers was […]
Cornwall Ontario – And so it starts. As predicted the latest council, gerrymandered by local unions and kool aid drinkers saw the first bite into them with Council barely responding to the water rates requested by City Management going up 4.07% This writer doesn’t dispute that the raise is needed. Political neglect and management […]
Cornwall Ontario – I kinda giggled when I found out that there was a Canadian Francophone organisation locally. Not because I disrespect Francophones, but this area has people like that silly man with his pins and of course Dianne Poirier, retired school teacher, who besides being President of this local group has been a driving […]

Cornwall Ontario – The Cornwall Community Police Service reported an increase from 71 to 91 Sexual Assault charges that were laid in Cornwall in from 2016 to 2017. You can’t blame a lack of resources. The CCPS cost per capita is nearly on par with Toronto and nearly 3 times the cost of the […]
Another year, another assault on Legion Park by the City of Cornwall. I can’t say that I am surprised. The consultant agency was directed by numerous City Staff to recommend moving the Park out to the Benson Centre. Cornwall Minor Baseball was grilled by the agency to support moving it out to the Benson Centre. […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN like all media outlets needs revenue to survive. Our original business model was to support local business at reasonable rates. In fact we didn’t have digital ads (like adsense) until the City initiated a conspiratorial boycott that impacted our roster of advertisers, many of whom were threatened and bribed to pull […]
Cornwall Ontario – There’s a certain ignorance and nastiness in Cornwall that’s embodied in people like my former neighbor Randy Sauve. There’s no crime in not being bright or capable of running one’s life without baby bonus. There is when you stalk and rant after people who can create and build things without government assistance […]
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 over $20K, but it has now […]
Cornwall Ontario – A rash of break ins and robberies in the Vincent Massey section of Cornwall has many business owners upset.

Cornwall Ontario – It was a flawed election Monday night. Clearly there was an issue with the electronic voting as the city’s website kept flashing to zero votes and then trickling in amounts. Electronic voting is hinky at best. Stories have been done about kids hacking the system. For the second term long time Councilor […]
Dear Editor, On Friday October 26, 2018, Cornwall takes a giant leap… toward irrelevance. Bad enough the city lost its bus terminal years ago, or that VIA Rail is about to chop it from the Windsor-Quebec corridor, but now, a first nail is being driven into the Cornwall Regional Airport coffin. Friday October 26, is […]
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 to do is look at who […]
Picking the lesser evil! Four years ago, I voted for Leslie O’Shaughnessy because Bob Kilger allowed the city to crucify whistleblowers and chose to protect the abusers instead! So I chose the lesser evil! My gut at the time knew that O’Shaughnessy would be no different but I took the chance that maybe, just maybe, […]
Well, I have made several trips to Cornwall over the last six month to find a home. Over time I felt less and less comfortable in these surroundings and I finally had to admit to myself that I just don’t feel safe in Cornwall. There are some very nice homes even though the taxes are […]
