Christmas Cronyism in Cornwall as Councilor Hebert Lands Gig @ EOTB by Jamie Gilcig DEC 30, 2016
Cornwall Ontario – Another cronyism hiring in Cornwall Ontario. As in many smaller cities it’s really hard to get a reasonably good, non minimum wage job, never mind an actual “Career”.

Arts in Cornwall Ontario & The Todd & Bill Show by Jamie Gilcig JULY 7, 2015
