Oh Canada! Tomorrow is July 1st. Sadly you won’t see CFN participating in our local event that is about to be rained out (bad karma thanks to Guy) as our MP has hijacked Canada Festivities in our city. Canada Day, above all days, should be inclusive and community building.Continue Reading
Well one thing is becoming clearer. It really doesn’t appear that Bernadette Clement wants to be a city councilor in Cornwall? She has attempted to run for upper political office or hope to become a judge each election. Last night the local Liberal riding went through the charade of aContinue Reading
An Ontario travel website seems to think the province ends at Ottawa and Kingston. A quick visit to the website shows that Eastern Ontario has no section and that the Cornwall area is lumped into Ottawa with no areas highlighted on its map. Eastern Ontario seems to be listedContinue Reading
At first glance it looks like Justin Trudeau’s recent policy announcement of a list of items that he would implement if he becomes Prime Minister was based on the wisdom of a former adviser and campaign strategist for Pierre Trudeau. Keith Davey would always argue that “It is when theContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Bernadette Clement is hoping to spring board from Cornwall City Council and run again for the Federal Grits as MP against incumbent Guy Lauzon. It makes sense.

Yes, the High Court of the Land has spoken, and many gladly obey. Another nail in the coffin of religious freedom and expression! I am not surprised at the High Court’s decision here, seeing its track record on past ungodly actions: abortion, same sex marriage, physician-assisted suicide, and manyContinue Reading

She has to win the nomination, but unless some surprise candidate drops in she should be facing another round. In the last election she fared poorly finishing far behind Lauzon, andContinue Reading
CFN – I own a small business. Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne just raised minimum wage which essentially is a big fat tax grab. It’s already been seen in studies that Minimum Wage kills jobs. It also kills the opportunity for people to learn skills on the job becauseContinue Reading
CFN – Sometimes politicians can be their own worst enemies. My political mentor, Keith Beardsley once spoke from the mountain. He does that a lot. Some of what “Dr. Evil” says is highly valuable. One of the first lessons he taught me was; Don’t get caught in the splash.Continue Reading
