Cornwall Ontario – It’s amazing how some people in authority feel that they can abuse their authority. How some refuse to understand that they serve we the public when the taxpayer pays their generous salary, benefits, and retirement. Chief Dan Parkinson of the CCPS is retiring and it was decided to throw an event […]
Cornwall Ontario – Our Canadian doctor Lt. Col John McCrae could not have known that his poem “In Flanders’s Field” written in 1915 would become such a famous loved poem for the whole world. The Annual Poppy Campaign of the Royal Canadian Legion raises money for our Veterans and their families and organizations which […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Cornwall Community Police Service reported an increase from 71 to 91 Sexual Assault charges that were laid in Cornwall in from 2016 to 2017. You can’t blame a lack of resources. The CCPS cost per capita is nearly on par with Toronto and nearly 3 times the cost of the […]
Cornwall Ontario – CFN like all media outlets needs revenue to survive. Our original business model was to support local business at reasonable rates. In fact we didn’t have digital ads (like adsense) until the City initiated a conspiratorial boycott that impacted our roster of advertisers, many of whom were threatened and bribed to pull […]
Cornwall Ontario – Unlike Cornwall’s vote both South Stormont and South Glengarry voters sent a message that change was desired; chiefly fiscal change. In South Stormont this is chiefly ironic as Cornwall CAO Maureen Adams and many Sunshine list decision makers in Cornwall reside in the township. IE, they don’t support the #taxrape and corruption […]
I was not completely anonymous when I came forward in December 2010 describing the consequences of a micromanager at the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge. One councillor was aware a letter was sent to city council. This is how we found out the severity of censorship (obstruction of justice) within the city as council did not receive their […]

Cornwall Ontario – For several years now this newspaper has struggled with the CCPS for more transparency and more disclosure. Unlike forces in Kingston they refuse to give out a breakdown of calls of service. They begrudgingly now give out a total of calls for the day although there are days they don’t report any […]
February will be the tenth anniversary of this newspaper. That’s a long time and a lot of hard work. It’s resulted in over 1 million human pageviews monthly. LINK Sadly, CFN never became the creative fount of positivity I envisioned when I started this venture in February of 2009. You can’t do creative marketing […]
Cornwall Ontario – The Ford government just issued a release outlining the failings of our educational system which seemed to focus more on Sex Ed than Math. It seems that many would have our education system replace parenthood (although in far too many circumstances you can’t blame them) than simply teach our kids the importance […]
Cornwall Ontario – Eastern Ontario is about to get a whupping from Mother Nature including TORNADO warnings in the Newington and Winchester areas nearby. Please use caution and do not wear tin foil hats until the all clear is given or the zappy thing ports you safely to Nurbital. We will update as silly people […]
Cornwall Ontario – For many of us journalists we know no hours. We can be working days straight at a time. We can work at odd hours. Many of us have no set schedules. CFN does not have public offices. When I need to meet someone we do it in public spaces. There are security […]
Cornwall Ontario – What an odd Municipal election this is. Almost no media coverage to date and an invite for an evening for council and mayoralty candidates to meet at the Knights of Columbus Hall for tonight was cancelled due to several candidates refusing to attend. The meeting would have been open to the public. […]
Cornwall Ontario – You’d think as empty as Cornwall Square usually is they’d be happy to have anyone shopping, but sadly an incident occurred involving a mom of an autistic boy. Apparently a security guard took issue with loud noises from the child and not only asked them to leave, but walked with them into […]
Cornwall Ontario – So I was chatting with a friend who’s nearly 80 and she’s planning to sell her home and leave Cornwall. She shared a few more of her friends were leaving too. Another friend in her 40’s shared that she’s moving to Ottawa and then shares that she has about a half dozen […]
Dear Doug, I sit here in my office of my struggling Independent media outlet. An outlet that was fair and friendly with you during the election. Even though we’re the largest in our market with large audiences in other key Ontario markets we received zero advertising from your campaign or the PC party during the […]
Cornwall Ontario – From offers of hand made suits by Montreal tailors and volunteers it was very tempting to run for office in Cornwall this election. When I ran in 2014 I had one clear objective which I was very proud of the results contrary to what Hugo Rodrigues likes to spew. I wanted […]
Cornwall Ontario – Social media is a flame as another big fire hits the East End of Cornwall Ontario. #383 – Please avoid the area of Montreal Road and Alice Street as there is an active fire. All emergency services are aware and are responding to the fire. We kindly ask that you refrain from […]
