Andrew Scheer lost to Justin Trudeau. No need to rehash the high end baggage that Trudeau and his Liberals carried into this last Federal Election, but it’s clear to say that a party only one term out of office with a strong base should’ve earned an easy majority. Does that Conservative brand have issues? Yes, […]
Cornwall Ontario – Usually Cornwall doesn’t get much attention from political leaders in Ontario. At best it’s usually some glad handing at closed riding association events which was why it was nice that PC leader Doug Ford and his team gave CFN some one on one time via telephone Thursday. In a most unusual election […]
How to Support the Students First Rally!!

Cornwall Ontario – There’s a lot of buzz about new Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, but he’s not expected to have a Mulcair or Layton type impact in the next Federal election. (Former NDP leader & player behind the Orange Crush, the Lion of Outremont, Thomas Mulcair in happier times) However, provincial NDP supporters may […]
Ottawa Ontario – With the NDP electing Jagmeet Singh as their new leader we have seen the stage set for an interesting federal election in 2019. In a way it is the passing of the political torch from the baby boomers to the younger generation. Not only is Singh a match for Justin Trudeau on […]
OTTAWA ONTARIO – 1. It pays to be a Liberal It certainly pays to be a Liberal and also a defeated Liberal candidate or best buds with Prime Minister Butts AKA the Principal Secretary to Justin Trudeau. Not only can PMO reward you with a cushy job, but you can get your foreign service salary […]
Statement by Ontario NDP Energy Critic Peter Tabuns Wynne won’t stop another hydro rate hike QUEEN’S PARK — “Months after the NDP called on the Liberal government in the legislature to stop the 20 per cent rate hike on hydro delivery charges, Kathleen Wynne has done nothing.

Last week when on CTV’s True North Political Panel I was asked to give Trudeau a rating for his first year in office. I gave him a “C” not because I am so partisan, that I can’t say anything positive about him, but because the jury is still out on promises kept or not kept […]
Letter to the editor – Hydro disaster in Ontario The Liberals added the 8% HST tax on our hydro bill to begin with now premier Wynne announces that she is going give us back the 8% HST in a tax rebate and thinks she helping us . I know some of you will say […]
Dear Editor, For several years, “Keeshechewan” residents have been coming to the Cornwall and “Ahkwesáhsne” communities to escape the springtime flood waters of the Albany River. It’s a hardship for the families for sure, but our communities strive to make it work, and we’ve developed something of a rapport along the […]
It was in a speech on March 4, 1933, that Franklin D. Roosevelt mentioned for the first time the concept that he would deliver 100 days of action now that he was elected. Since then the 100 day mark has become a pretty common marker when looking at a newly elected politician’s performance. Plus over […]
CFN – The biggest loser in the Province of Ontario election is not Jim Prentice and his Federal Conservative counterparts under PM Stephen Harper, but Justin Trudeau. As the next Federal election looms closer Canadians are mulling over a lot of options. Is the Harper government past it’s “best buy” date? Absolutely, but then […]
CORNWALL Ontario – My phone started ringing far too early this morning. It was surreal, but I live in surreal times in a surreal community. I first have to shoot down and dispel the rumor. I will categorically not be the NDP candidate for this riding in the upcoming Federal election. As much as […]
CFN – Don’t you just love the summer doldrums and some of the political speculation that abounds in the news? One such story around speculation that the Conservatives under Harper could win ten seats in Quebec in the next election was certainly attention getting. This would require quite an extensive and on-going charm offensive from […]
CORNWALL Ontario – Jim Brownell is very upset. He’s ranting on his facebook page about yours truly. His invective is pretty out there for the normally mild mannered and polite retired school teacher and former Liberal MPP for our riding. I have been a huge supporter of Mr. Brownell, but sadly; due to the Liberal […]
CFN – It’s election day and the Liberals are still fighting dirty to the very end. An email was sent around noon from one Blane McPhail from the party, and who has worked for the Liberal government. Should these sort of last day dirty tactics be allowed in this day and age? 834 Air […]
CFN – Tim Hudak is the focus of a letter released by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. The Preme is upset at statements made by the PC Leader who has otherwise been keeping a pretty low profile. Quiet so far on this battle as the drums of a Spring election beat louder is NDP leader Andrea […]
