10,000,000 is a very very large number. Can you imagine the impact on Cornwall and area businesses if they had those impressions instead of through google ads? CFN had an early policy of not having digital ads as we wanted to focus on local, but due to a mostContinue Reading
Incredulously enough City Council asked the very person at the root of the Chem tank cover up scandal to issue a report, which he did last month. Bob Peters is the number two in our Economic Development office. His tome to council reads like a game of Three Card Monte.Continue Reading
What can you say when someone runs on a campaign against City Hall corruption featuring a Whistle blower at his campaign opening and essentially turns his back on her after getting elected? Why that’s almost like stabbing the person that got you elected or having to find a judge toContinue Reading
Halloween seems a great time to write this piece and ponder the future of this term on council. After the utter joke that was not only the Brock Frost term on council, but the manner in which council dealt with the the hot mess that was his tenure the publicContinue Reading

Clearly City Hall knew about the Chem Tanks nearly a year before they were constructedContinue Reading
When CFN started to write about the Chem tanks and then expose former Mayor Kilger and his team at Economic Development team, and CAO for lying to the public about the chem tanks I personally was abused by certain members of the public and other media. (LINK TO ALL CFNContinue Reading
I was chatting with a veteran Cornwall politico this week and the subject turned to a common one; whether current Cornwall mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy was an improvement over the man he defeated, Bob Kilger?

CORNWALL Ontario – Apologies for not writing as much as I normally do for the last while. I was in mourning. My beloved dog Melly passed away a week ago Saturday. She was one of the greatest relationships in my life. She was always there, and always willContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – What about Bob? Is he coming back? Is Cornwall turning into a George Romero movie? Leslie O’Shaughnessy is one bad poker player. In other media reports he stated that he had a legal opinion on his Conflict of Interest incident and that he’d be getting a secondContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s been a whirlwind of a week here in Cornwall and CFN Central. As many viewers know all of my criminal charges have now been dropped.

CORNWALL Ontario – Monday night two subjects stood out. Now these were distractions from the bigger mess of our budget which preliminary numbers are looking at a tax increase of over 5% which simply is not acceptable, especially considering the bloating of taxes through eight years of Kilger rule.Continue Reading

CFN – I accidentally took this weekend off. I really did. It was odd. It was kinda wonderful. My critters were happy. My girl friend was happy. I was even kinda happy, or at least a bit rested. I napped. I watched Nashville on Netflix. I chattedContinue Reading
