It’s interesting to see what hits a button with people and what doesn’t? In this age of internet newspapers like CFN we get to see direct results by page view counts, comments, and of course Social Media chatter. In 2015 we also live in an age of near OrwellianContinue Reading
As good as the Habs were in their first twenty games this season is as bad as they’ve been since. Many of the top teams in the league have had injuries. Yes, the one to Price is a biggie, but the loss of Brendan Gallagher and yes, Alex SeminContinue Reading
Pete Rose is one of the greatest hitters in baseball. His numbers speak for himself. He has been barred from entering Cooperstown and was again refused to have his ban lifted by current Commissioner Rob Manfred. What Pete Rose did was wrong. Not only in betting on baseball, butContinue Reading
It was quite amusing to see some local media get excited by our homey Ryan Gosling mentioning Cornwall on Saturday Night Live, a NBC comedic institution led by Canuck Lorne Michaels who hails from Winterpeg. As many know Ryan, who was born in London, grew up here and gotContinue Reading
Another mass shooting in the US of A. Sadly our neighbors to the South are entrenched in a head space that never will be resolved unless those that wish to take action. The question is whether there are enough Americans that actually want to take action. This writer willContinue Reading
In a quadruple media reference this morning a very interesting topic was discussed; online comments by viewers. The media trend now is to shut them down. Locally the Postmedia owned Standard Freeholder has had them shut down for quite awhile, while two other outlets hyper moderate. In ourContinue Reading
It’s sad when pundits…or hacks as in the case of Todd Lihou of the Seaway Media try to make hay on the suffering and misfortune of others. I just read a very strange and bizarre editorial by Mr. Lihou on the Syrian refugee crisis and his suggestion that there’s plentyContinue Reading
You ever see someone and you know that either they aren’t sleeping, are about to lose their job, or simply aren’t getting enough TLC? Hugo Rodrigues, editor of the Standard Freeholder, has been on the warpath of late. We here call it “Gilcig very very lite.” The biggest differenceContinue Reading
I don’t normally review food from chain restaurants, but my dining companion wanted Fish n Chips and we decided to try “the new place” which turned out to be our new Captain Georges in Cornwall. It felt odd being in what had been a lovely and colorful Mexican restaurant. Continue Reading
So with one week to go where do we stand with one of Canada’s longest elections? Stephen Harper clearly will not enjoy another majority which has many Canadians rejoicing. Scandal after scandal has plagued his government, but most simply have grown tired of the politics of fear mongering andContinue Reading
After posting hundreds of statements and comments on social media Robert “Bob” Noble of Ingleside was served a defamation lawsuit today on behalf of CFN editor Jamie Gilcig. A sample of some them can be viewed on www.hatemirror.com . The process server stated that Mr. Noble flew into a rage,Continue Reading
Wow! Perusing the last few issues of TC Media’s Seaway News it was kinda funny watching Todd & Mac try and tag team. Mr. Lihou must be cranky of late. He’s taken shots at moi and Freeholder editor Hugo Rodrigues recently. Of course looking at the page countContinue Reading
While this disturbing, but hotly awesome piece of video is going viral it shows a few things about politics in Canada in 2015. One that the Harperites are extremely unhappy with the Mike Duffy saga; not so much for what Duffy did, but for how it’s played out. DoesContinue Reading
The Maclean’s City TV Leadership Debate limped its way through the evening. It wasn’t long, and it certainly wasn’t deep in scope. There was some grade school cheese with the sets having a blue background and the hosts wearing blue ties. Nothing like some subliminal suggestion for theContinue Reading
If money talks Stephen Harper will have another majority government. Of course when you make the rules it’s expected that you get good results. Right now Mr. Harper set the rules that they benefit himself and his party and it just might work. Justin Trudeau, if an electionContinue Reading
As the cap age tightens its grip on the game teams are finding out that cap management is critical to their short and long term success. I put together a chart of each team’s top five contracts and the average age of those five players. There are different formulasContinue Reading
You can save that headline and throw it my face in October or I may move up in the political pundit rankings here in Canada. Do I know something some other Canadians don’t? Am I psychic? Do I have special powers? When you mix an education at the foot ofContinue Reading
Something my lovely ex wife complained about Cornwall was a lack of inclusion for we outsiders. I’ve lived here 12 years now and still am an outsider. I speak with some that have lived here over 25 years and they feel the same. Our first year my wifey triedContinue Reading
