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 – The SD&G Ospca twice refused full year ad plans from this newspaper, one paid for by a local businessperson.

Cornwall Ontario – One of the biggest problems in Cornwall is the utter failure of charities due to really bad politics. The United Way for example boycotts this newspaper. They also kept missing their funding targets so they no longer have them. Instead of acting like a responsible charity and pursue their mandate they fail […]
Cornwall Ontario – One of the reasons so many journalists end up with PTSD is that we face the raw public. While rarely to the same degree as our brave and talented emergency services or armed forces it can get pretty ugly, and it accumulates over the years. Something that triggers me to action is […]
Cornwall Ontario– Long time Cornwall City Councilor and two time failed Liberal MP candidate Bernadette “Flipper” Clement may step out of the closet and run for Mayor of Cornwall Ontario finally!

Cornwall Ontario – When I worked for the Habs in the 90’s during that one interesting season when we moved into the Bell Centre and nearly upset the Rangers in the playoffs, trades were run by me. At the risk of being humble my reports and advice to Reggie were dead on accurate. It was […]
Cornwall Ontario – Bob Peters swung and missed again for the River City it seems, or he may not even have swung the bat? The Economically Developmentally challenged poobah used public resources to make a splash in applying to have Amazon have it’s HQ2 in Cornwall which was farcical, but made nary a peep about […]
Cornwall Ontario – CUPE sent out a release today. The four CUPE locals who have been on strike in Cornwall have each ratified their tentative agreements.

Cornwall Ontario – Some might call this column “Sour Grapes”, but it really isn’t. It’s more of a question? Rogers is a large and wonderful company that offers many great services.

Cornwall Ontario – I was always taught that if you’re going to do something, do it right.
