Cornwall Ontario – My gosh there are a lot of little political turdettes that take runs at office! People still don’t get it.

Ontario’s long-awaited election day is finally almost upon us. There is a unanimous view that the Liberals are finally going to be thrown out, bag and baggage, after four catastrophic terms, when the province was mortgaged to hare-brained alarm about climatology and electricity-generating facilities were shut down and solar energy and other nostrums subsidized as […]
Cornwall Ontario – With reports of Advanced Polling down nearly a whopping 15% in SD&SG clearly abuse by local riding teams and Elections Ontario are leading indicators. Instead of advertising for example, where you’re reading this right now, Elections Ontario advertised with US social media companies. Surely someone should be fired for that? Likewise, the […]
Cornwall Ontario – In what has been a very odd election campaign it appears that Doug Ford has kept his cool and will become Ontario’s next Premier on June 7th.

Cornwall Ontario – This has been a mystifying election. Leadership issues with the PC’s, the demise of a Premier and her party, and Andrea Horwath digging her heels in and not doing the right thing, as Doug Ford did, and jettisoning candidates that clearly should not be in elected office. And yes, Hitler memes qualify […]

The U.S. mass shootings in Parkland, FL, Sandy […]
Cornwall Ontario – As the slagging goes on it appears that some party staffers missed vetting social media comments across the board.

Cornwall Ontario – Even short campaigns have their peaks and valleys. After it became clear that Premier Kathleen Wynne and her Liberals were toast there’s been a huge shift, especially from the Labour Block, back to the NDP which has given Andrea Horwath and her NDP momentum.
