CORNWALL Ontario – It’s been a whirlwind of a week here in Cornwall and CFN Central. As many viewers know all of my criminal charges have now been dropped.

CORNWALL Ontario – A Kilgeresque moment Monday night at a special Cornwall Ontario City Council meeting as Mayor Leslie O’Shaughnessy and Councilor Elaine MacDonald refused to declare themselves in Conflict of Interest even though they are on the very steering committee that was seeking cash. (and apparently will receive it.)Continue Reading
CFN – Media is a hard biz these days. Even the big guns suffer. Today, on Friday the 13th Sun News Network shuttered down. They flipped the switch to off. I won’t get into the merits of Sun News and it’s fake boobed talking heads or farContinue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Sheep. Not everyone likes them. They can be a bit like Art. Well actually that would be taking artistic licence as sheep really aren’t like art unless well….we are entering a fuzzy zone of mystical proportions that probably aren’t relative to tonight’s City Council meeting in CornwallContinue Reading

CORNWALL Ontario – I’m going to pay a rare compliment to our city council. Maybe rare shouldn’t be the term. Because of the weirdness that was the Kilger council of the last term there was very little to compliment our elected officials about. Nearly half of our currentContinue Reading
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?Continue Reading
CORNWALL Ontario – Politicians have a funny trait of saying one thing and doing another.
