CORNWALL Ontario – Bob, Bob, Bob. It’s time to hang it up. I know the buzz is your busy helping the Feds dump the harbor properties on we poor taxpayers of Cornwall. I get it when you sleep more nights away from Cornwall than here that you can lose your priorities. Your […]
CFN – Geez have I been hot this NHL Play off season! 7 of 8 in round one and 3 of 4 in round two. The only one I missed was the Habs which I said I hoped I’d be wrong, and I was! 10 out of 12 is pretty darn good. Only two series […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Mayor Bob Kilger of Cornwall Ontario did it again. Rumors are that the local Corus Radio station and he are not on speaking terms because of a staffer that let him have it on his last day. ERIC SPENCE STORY Bobby holds grudges. He loves to spend city dollars on his […]
CFN – That gentleman on the left is Don McCurdy. He’s the Executive Director over at the Ontario Press Council. My journey of journalism that now is in its sixth year has been an adventure.It really has. This year Don entered “my movie” although he was supposed to enter last year. During a council meeting […]
CFN – If I were working on a strategy for the Habs for their series I’d focus on Zdeno Chara. In game one I’d be dumping the puck into his zone and literally beating him to a pulp and tiring him out. Finish each and every check, slap him, hit him, cheap shot him, bury […]
CFN – They say there is no fool like an old fool. As I write this there is a very very upset 80 year old man by the name of Donald Sterling. Sterling made his name as a divorce lawyer. He is the longest tenured current NBA owner. He also in spite of his […]
CFN – Montreal and Boston. It always feels like a Stanley Cup final match when these two teams get together. Somehow there’s a lot of extra meaning. The Ghosts of the 70’s still burn deep in Bruin’s fan’s hearts. Heart will be the deciding factor in this series. Yes strategy will be […]
CFN – With Social Media becoming so prevalent nowadays many of our perceived realities and perceptions have become increasingly digital. Recently I experienced two very different instances that reminded me of this. First facebook switched my five year personal account to a business one wiping out all my friends (turning them into likes) and all […]
CFN – In a few hours the Montreal Canadiens will take on the Tampa Bay Lighting. The Lighting have been very good this season and the Hockey Gods have smiled down on Montreal and somehow given them a 3 games to 0 lead in this series. With a few bounces it could be 3-0 […]
So you’re working at home; or just chillaxing, or have just put the baby to bed and your silence is disturbed by a doorbell. It’s a person trying to come in and check your water heater; or someone trying to sell you something; or a religious group looking for new members. Or worse; it’s a […]
CFN – The circus that has become the Chem Tanks plunked on our waterfront by Trillium Distribution Cornwall Inc. has taken a bizarre turn. Mark A MacDonald who is running for council suggested that Council demand that Guy Lauzon resign. It makes for great filler on a slow news day; but is quite bewildering? What’s more […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Be gentle. She still smells of new car. We have done our annual April Fool’s makeover of CFN. So far so good. We do have some minor tinkering to do, and wiggling and jiggling of elements. If you see anything we miss feel free to email me at jamie@cornwallfreenews.com or […]
CFN – There’s a group on facebook that boycotts Sun News. So it wasn’t so surprising to see CFN have a tiny boycott group of our own. They even posted a list of our sponsors and contacted a bunch. While that’s not good for business or the community it hasn’t dampered […]
CORNWALL Ontario – There’s a picture of Elaine MacDonald leading a march down Pitt Street over the health accord in today’s Freeholder. Ms MacDonald must have liked our march over the Chem tanks last month as she’s imitated it; but there are a couple of very scary issues at play. First off Healthcare is one […]
CORNWALL Ontario – In this edition of the 11th Councilor I’m going to talk about Dogs. Not our city going to the dogs, but about a new by law that might be time here in our fair city, and that is to not allow the sale of dogs except by registered local breeders or from […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Wednesday February 26th is wear a Pink Shirt Day to celebrate Anti-Bullying. Bullying in our Politically Correct world is a scary thing. It’s about conforming and what happens to those that don’t. It’s what happens when an honest person confronts a group or person that is lying or abusing whether they be […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Well folks it’s been an interesting start since I announced that I’m running for mayor of our fair City of Cornwall Ontario. While I’m amazed at the positive support from emails and offers of help to having someone run up to me last night while picking up some cat food at […]
CORNWALL Ontario – I emailed Cornwall Ontario Mayor Bob Kilger who in spite of telling people that he will be running for Mayor again in the Fall has yet to file his papers as he’s busy selling out our Waterfront for Chemical tanks. It was a simple note I sent to our Mayor. I […]
