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! At least that’s the buzz heating up around the River City! When not using tax dollars at the legal clinic she’s in charge of […]
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 – It was bewildering when I received an invite to meet with disgraced Cornwall City Councilor Robert Brock Frost. My first answer was of course no. He pled for me to call him and I did. He made jokes about me not having to worry and that he wasn’t going to set me […]
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. Assuming City Council and the Library Board both ratify from management’s side today, people will return to work on Tuesday. Oddly enough more questions are being asked now than […]
Cornwall Ontario – Tentative agreement reached in Cornwall city workers’ strike according to the CUPE release below. After a leak by Councilor Andre Rivette to CBC and CFN and our story by former HR Manager Rob Menagh it appeared that the city would have to capitulate on its demand for a clawback of sick leave benefits. […]
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. It also has a huge footprint in hockey; something I know a bit about. My history with the sport professionally started in the 90’s. […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN confirmed after speaking with Rodney Rivette of the Cornwall Nationals that the team is meeting today with FHL officials to talk about the survival of the team.

Cornwall Ontario – A stunning report just came out by the renowned Fraser Institute showing that the usually poorly ranking Cornwall Secondary schools all, each and every one of them plummeted in this year’s rankings. Leading the way to the bottom was St. Lawrence which ranked 708 out of 747 schools across Ontario, down 163 […]
Cornwall Ontario – I was always taught that if you’re going to do something, do it right. If the goal of Cornwall educators has been to fail they clearly are living up to it during the past school season when all six secondary schools in the Fraser Institute’s yearly rankings fell back from their five […]
Cornwall Ontario – Is it any wonder why taxes are out of CONTROL in Cornwall Ontario as the City is set to face off in court against the Raymond’s over their disputing a noise citation for listening to bands like Abba and April Wine while playing cards. As per our earlier stories. LINK The […]
CORNWALL ONTARIO – More fiscal hemorrhaging at the hands of the O’Shaugnessy government in Cornwall as they issued a press release stating that they mediated a settlement with Shoppers Realty Inc. that saw the MPAC assessment cut by 26%! That’s a hard reality that if spread to more properties in the Industrial Park and […]
Cornwall Ontario – I always marvel at the depths that the Bob Peters, Bernadette Clement, Guy Lauzon cliques, and their sillier psychophantic followers, will sink to in proving, that one, they aren’t terribly good at what they do, and two, that whether or not they like it the vast majority of this city reads CFN […]
