With the reinforcement of the City Council that SD&SG Federal Liberal Candidate Bernadette Clement was a key part of covering up the Chem Tank contract from the public can Justin Trudeau afford a potential scandal? Clearly City Hall knew about the Chem Tanks nearly a year before they were constructedContinue Reading
Patrick Burger, Guy Lauzon, Bernadette Clement, Elaine Kennedy CFN- It was a feisty debate at the Civic Complex last night. Three of the four candidates were ready for battle and battle they did. The Green Party Candidate, Elaine Kennedy, was much more circumspect about the election preferring to talk about theContinue Reading
Apparently Stephen Harper has visited S.,D. & G. and proclaimed that rural Canada should have better internet. The problem is not that we don’t have decent internet, it is that we are expected to pay astronomical amounts for data when our urban friends pay a pittance. Especially when our incomesContinue Reading
It’s an odd and strange election here in SD&SG. With MP Guy Lauzon polling with over 60% support there is little doubt he will be re elected. The lack of pork delivered to the riding this term clearly shows that the Harper team feel no threat to SD&SG turningContinue Reading
I have to admit I wanted to hear the three leaders of the parties with an actual chance to lead our government debate. Elizabeth May would probably have kicked butt, but it’s important for voters to get as good a chance as they can to see the three contendersContinue Reading
Ontario Conservative leader Patrick Brown took his seat at Queen’s Park and took aim at Premier Kathleen Wynne with his first question. He attacked on high hydro rates in the province which the Premier ducked and deflected. What do you think dear CFN viewers? Does Brown have game?Continue Reading
City Councilor Bernadette Clement looked more blue than red as she finally kicked off her campaign in Morrisburg yesterday. The heat was unbearable and wilted the crowd of mostly seniors and staffers. Ms Clement looks like the heat was getting to her in the picture above during the hotContinue Reading
I had two odd conversations with two journalists in the last 24 hours. The first was a late night ping on facebook when a disgruntled journo asked if I’d seen the shameless cover of the latest seeker. I answered no, because like many in Cornwall I don’t readContinue Reading
Parents Protest Premier Wynne’s Sex Ed Perversion: First a word from our sponsor: “I hope the Liberal government will decide to work with both parents and educators in order to ensure they are ready to provide Ontario’s students with information they can use to make responsible and fully informed decisionsContinue Reading
Liberals Announce Campaign Launch in Morrisburg Cornwall – Today, Bernadette Clement is happy to announce that that she will be launching her campaign on Sunday, September 6 from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at Russell Manor in Morrisburg.

As some may know I’ve always been a stat hound, and numbers person including being the Montreal Canadiens first video statographer way back in 1996. Before the days of today’s Analytics my system created tools to quantify results in hockey and included a filtering system for player performance. IE ifContinue Reading
This has to be the weirdest Federal election I’ve lived through. I’m now a hyper partisan voter. No more party allegiances for me. The problem is that in this race the one leader I’d lean towards I’ve lost all faith in. Nor do I see that much separatingContinue Reading
While this disturbing, but hotly awesome piece of video is going viral it shows a few things about politics in Canada in 2015. One that the Harperites are extremely unhappy with the Mike Duffy saga; not so much for what Duffy did, but for how it’s played out. DoesContinue Reading
I was asked to run in the current Federal election as an Independent candidate. A group had come together, cash in hand, ready to roll, but I decided I couldn’t do it with any integrity. Yes it would be fun to stand on stage and debate Guy & Bernie, toContinue Reading
Don’t you just love this man’s high standards? “Stephen Harper picked these people, he hired them, he promoted them, he protected them, and he’s keeping them on the public payroll while they run his election campaign even though he knows full well everything that they did,” Trudeau said (Referring ofContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario — It’s been a bumpy beginning to the campaign for Cornwall City Councilor Bernadette Clement. She’s been part of a council this term that has attacked family ice rinks at Christmas and made National news again for getting jiggy with worm and lemonde selling kids. Her ridingContinue Reading
Canadians have been given front row seats to one of the longest elections in our history. With 76 days left we can only pray that at some point in time it becomes interesting. There certainly wasn’t much excitement in the first few days of the campaign to grab our attention.Continue Reading
Premier Wynne blinked and has officially delayed PC leader Patrick Brown’s first opportunity to win a seat and sit at Queen’s Park. Normally it’s a courtesy to allow a leader of a party to gain their seat. Delaying a by election is usually a sign of nastiness orContinue Reading
