CORNWALL Ontario – Alas many of us had hope for change after Mayor Bob Kilger and three of his henchmen were bounced in the last election. There was a clear message from the people that change was wanted in our city, but sadly, as some predicted, that change has not occurred, at least not yet. […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Disgraced former Team Cornwall President Gilles Latour was actually thanked by current Team Cornwall President Peter Gault early this morning in what has to be one of the most bizarre public statements in light of the black eye Mr. Latour has given to the local business community. Mr. Latour was present at […]
CORNWALL Ontario – The City put out an interesting graph that clearly shows that older voters turn out more for elections than younger ones. The irony is that if you read social media the younger ones make the most noise and have the highest reach so why don’t they vote? That’s not the question for […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Politicians have a funny trait of saying one thing and doing another. Many in Ontario for example were shocked and bewildered when former Premier Mike Harris actually kept some of his campaign promises. New Cornwall Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy took the chain of command tonight. There’s a lot of interesting catch phrases and […]
ASSAULT Cornwall, ON – A 21-year-old Cornwall man was arrested on November 25th, 2014 and charged with assault.

CORNWALL Ontario – A new Lay committee is being formed to decide on who gets a seat on the many committees in our fair city. There are lots of options to serve. Last term I applied for several but was denied because….well essentially all but one of the Lay committee was not re-elected so that should answer that […]
CORNWALL Ontario – The Canadian Association of Journalists and Sun Media’s Standard Freeholder Editor Hugo Rodgrigues burned a source live on Twitter this morning. Incensed over his interpretation of a CFN story Mr. Rodrigues went on the war path on social media calling out this writer and calling moi a liar after we tipped the […]
CORNWALL Ontario – It’s been interesting since Hugo Rodrigues was brought into Cornwall to lead the Freeholder. It really has. He’s no dummy, but his Machiavellian gobbleyspin might fool some; but not those that have followed politics. Hugo still has yet to ask the Kilger council the money question regarding the Chem Tanks. Now he’s […]
CORNWALL Ontario – I was asked what was the hardest part of this last year? Was it the police charges? Was it that after Bell provided a production order that categorically stated that I never made the calls (nearly six months ago!) that the police and crown put forth in their disclosure that not one, […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Voters wanted change and they made their voices heard Monday night as Mayor Bob Kilger went down in flames. Going along with him were long term councilors Syd Gardiner, Denis Carr, the despised Glen Grant and Gerry Samson. As of 9:25 PM one poll still wasn’t reporting but the numbers were clear […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Mayor Bob Kilger was booed not once, but twice at the opening of the River Kings game in Cornwall Saturday night.

At a recent presentation of Cornwall mayoral candidates, one candidate (O’Shaughnessy) advised the audience that administration had not followed council’s directives. The incumbent mayor replied that administration people were of high character . . . and he said that at a time when the public is reading news media reports about how City of Cornwall […]
CORNWALL Ontario – If there was a photo in a text book in a section on media corruption in elections Todd Lihou’s would embossed. The Seaway News Editor has clearly not only showed his personal bias pro and con for candidates in this election in editorial, which is fair game, but in news coverage. His latest […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Beleaguered former Team Cornwall President Gilles Latour is watching his empire crumble before his eyes. In addition to the police charges already laid for fraud the amount of monies being bandied around have now gone from the $200K area to over $600 as the Mutual Fund Dealers Association of Canada is […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Flags were not lowered today in Cornwall Ontario after the death of Cpl Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa. LINK TO CFN COVERAGE FROM WEDNESAY Communities across Canada had lowered theirs including in nearby South Stormont. CFN spoke to Cornwall Clerk Helen Finn this afternoon. She said that the city was now going to […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Yes the municipal election in Cornwall is getting dirtier than Todd Lihou’s sandal clad stink feet. The Freeholder’s Greg Peerenboom nailed Mayor Kilger for using city resources. This would not be the first time that Mayor Kilger is using the excuse that he’s a near illiterate high school drop out that can’t […]
CFN – Cornwall isn’t ready for change. At least not this election. My core pillar of changing the culture of Cornwall is the most important issue facing our city as it’s how we conduct ourselves. While there’s a surface veneer of “nice” there’s a nasty darkness that probably is left from the old Domtar […]
CORNWALL Ontario – In a bizarre act of election machinations the Seaway News has run a story based on an unnamed source regarding the Diane Shay case. A source has confirmed the details are in relation to a $425,000 lawsuit launched against the city by Diane Shay, who was a nurse at the Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge. […]
