SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 – If Politics truly are a blood sport, veteran journalist and Fox broadcaster Chris Wallace proves it after a brutal Presidential debate. This writer rarely writes about US politics. I went to school in the US and lived there in the 90’s. I have friends and family there and have always loved […]
SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 – I am a hyper non partisan voter. I go one election at a time because I’ve seen the damage that partisan politics cause.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 – It’s great to be able to use tax money to promote your causes. It’s one of the perks of getting elected. However in 2020 we’re in the midst of a second wave of COVID-19. While Cornwall has either been really lucky with low case numbers, or really good at hiding our […]
SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 – Politicians and media have a strange way of explaining the ways that Oranges can fly. They really do. One of the positive things about COVID was CERB. The Trudeau government made a choice that put cash in the hands of many that truly needed it in a simple fashion that was […]
JUNE 7. 2020 – Like a bad horror movie we are seeing political hypocrites put the health and safety of this community in peril. COVID 19 still has no true treatment and no cure. There is no vaccine for it. Cornwall is a city where if you end up in Intensive Care you end up […]
APRIL 20, 2020 – It’s boggling that an entity that is supposed to serve public health is boycotting this newspaper and refusing to release info that supposedly is meant to save and protect lives. That’s exactly what Dr. Paul Roumeliotis is doing. While many can understand that people don’t like criticism, when you earn over […]
APRIL 16, 2020 – As our economy teeters we’re learning more about this historic Pandemic. 2 meters apart? 4? We know that Dr. Theresa Tam and government officials have failed. Even though Dr. Tam led a pandemic guideline in 2006 she certainly hasn’t heeded her own advice. Thousands of Canadians will get sick and die […]
There will be a time to hold the many accountable for the utter disaster we are facing. Today is not that time. Some of you reading this most likely not be here when that time comes. We are facing a lock down of 4-6 months, and most likely will see some form of Martial law. […]
What a wild week. So much illness. So much death. We will survive, but the World will never be the same, much as it changed after 9/11. And it’s just beginning. We will see a huge financial disaster, one of epic size that we haven’t seen in about 100 years. We all will be losing […]

We’ve seen some major gaffes on the part of the Canadian government, and other governments […]

IE, money in the bank, from all of those wanting an art centre in Cornwall at the former tiny Bank of Montreal building is a paltry….. $351,735.30 The City to date has purchased the building for nearly $500K. It’s had at least two […]
By Jamie Gilcig: Where to we start? Coronovirus is scaring the world. With over 70,000 victims of the flu we are just learning about it.

We all want to live in a diverse world and support everyone to be the best person they can possibly be. I know I do. Lord knows I love a good drag show too. Drag Queens, as highlighted in movies like Priscilla and Too Wong Foo helped mainstream what was once a slice of Burlesque. […]
Right now Hab fans have to be wondering about owner Geoff Molson? Either he’s calling the shots and Bergy is a puppet, or he’s simply letting a really really really bad GM ruin a legendary franchise.

Andrew Scheer lost to Justin Trudeau. No need to rehash the high end baggage that Trudeau and his Liberals carried into this last Federal Election, but it’s clear to say that a party only one term out of office with a strong base should’ve earned an easy majority. Does that Conservative brand have issues? Yes, […]
The most stunning thing about Cornwall Politics is that the sheep are stunningly silent until it’s too late. Facing an anticipated 7% tax rate hike, city management and council have been flirting and floating having “Smart Water Meters” for the approximately 16,000 buildings in Cornwall. The basic argument for such meters is usually conservation. Numbers […]
