One of the hardest things is to cover a story like the Covid 19 Coronavirus. At stake is public safety and health which is why one would have to ask why NAVCANADA, the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, and Mayor Clement & the City of Cornwall Ontario are refusing to answerContinue Reading
It’s that time of the year. It’s interesting. The EOHU has changed its access to information about food inspections. There also seem to be less of them. Is one inspection(not counting direct follow ups) enough? Also, just because an eatery has a Green Pass sticker doesn’t mean that all areContinue Reading
One of the most frustrating thing about dealing with the political corruption in Cornwall is we are kept from basic public resources that our taxes pay for. Specifically the Eastern Ontario Health Unit does not provide or respond to requests from this, the largest newspaper in Cornwall, about important healthContinue Reading
Did I hear anything about the young girl that took her own life? For the second time in two years I was queried that recently. We don’t like to talk about suicide. The police do not put it on the blotter. Here in Cornwall they refused to give me anyContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The Eastern Ontario Health Unit was hacked according to a release on their website. Those concerned about their private information should read the release below.

After doing my opinion piece on this utterly hurtful new restaurant sign law directed by the EOHU after getting rubber stamped by council we decided to do our yearly review and it laid out a scary future for the hospitality industry in our region. While most people get the Green,Continue Reading
A new sign grading for local eateries goes into effect in 2016. In theory it’s a great idea giving consumers a clear window via a Green card, inferring safety, yellow, and red for closed. However in theory Communism is the best form of government which has never reallyContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – So whose made the most money in Cornwall on this year’s Sunshine list that was just released by the province of Ontario?

CFN – So we took a peek at 2015 so far and dug into some other establishments. All data comes from EOHU inspections. This is a random sampling.
