Ontario, here’s the turning point on the second dose

TORONTO – The provincial government is ready to change gears on the vaccination front. Starting in the next few days, the efforts of the Ontario health authorities will be aimed mainly at intensifying the vaccination campaign especially on the second dose, which until now is still a sore point, because the numbers on the recall injection are still too low compared to the other G20 countries. The provincial government has thus announced some changes in the roadmap announced previously, with the aim of reducing the time between the first and second dose of the Covid vaccine. (more…)

Note a margine: tre lingue per sognare il vero amore

Per la nostra rubrica musicale: “Vorrei che fosse amore”, sognare in tre lingue con Mina.

Nel 1968, viene pubblicato il brano interpretato dalla grande cantante e diventa la sigla di Canzonissima 68, programma condotto dalla stessa Mina e da Walter Chiari. La canzone raggiunge solo il decimo posto nella classifica italiana, ma viene incisa anche in Inglese con il titolo “More than strangers” (per il mercato americano) e francese (con il titolo “Si…”) e proprio a Parigi, nel 1969, con quello stesso brano, Mina viene accolta trionfalmente.

Il mea culpa recitato dal primo ministro per le decisioni prese dal governo dell’epoca guidato da William Lyon Mackenzie King non si è limitato, come era prevedibile, alla narrazione della sofferenza e delle ingiustizie subite da più di 600 uomini e donne di origine italiana internati nei campi di concentramento sparsi per il Paese, ma ha sfiorato tutte le corde del travaglio e delle tribolazioni patiti da tutti gli italocanadesi a partire del giugno del 1940.

Today, Prime Minister Trudeau will rise in the House of Commons, today, May 27 and offer apologies to a class of Canadians for what their Canadian government of the day did to them, 80 years ago. Briefly, it declared them “enemy aliens”.

That designation caused many to lose their jobs, depriving their families of sustainable income, making their homes prone to the designs of rapacious municipal officials eager to expropriate for non-payment of property taxes. It subjected all of them to placement under police surveillance, exposed them all to vexatious and malicious ridicule and lead more than 700 individuals being interned in concentration camps without due process.

Their “crime”? They we were of Italian ethnicity. Overnight, the designation “converted” them from being valuable members of the Canadian federation to being labeled Fascists, Nazis, Imperialist…

TCDSB and Cardinal headed for another clash

TORONTO – A survey on gender and sexual orientation will be conducted among grade 9 school children at all Catholic schools in Toronto. This is what was proposed during the last meeting of the board. The Archdiocese did not like the proposal and ruled against it. Criticisms were also drawn from Teresa Pierre of the ” Parents as First Educators ” association. “While collecting student data can provide useful information, caution is needed on how this collection is carried out. Catholic schools must refrain from asking children about their sexual identity and orientation.  This is a practice that could confuse children; it raises privacy issues and concerns about parental involvement ”.

In the next edition of Corriere Canadese, we will publish a complete report on the matter.

Sondaggio su gender e orientamento sessuale, no dell’Arcidiocesi

TORONTO – Un sondaggio su gender e orientamento sessuale da proporre ai ragazzi del grado 9 delle scuole cattoliche di Toronto. È quanto è stato proposto nell’ultimo meeting del provveditorato. La proposta non è piaciuta all’Arcidiocesi, che si è pronunciata contro. Critiche anche da Teresa Pierre dell’associazione ’’Parents as First Educators’’.  “Mentre raccogliere dati sugli studenti può fornire informazioni utili, serve cautela riguardo come questa raccolta viene fatta. Le scuole cattoliche si astengono dal richiedere risposte dai bambini sulla loro identità sessuale e sul loro orientamento. Il solo chiedere costituisce un insegnamento che può confondere i bambini, pone problemi sulla privacy e preoccupazioni sul coinvolgimento dei genitori’’.  

Nella prossima edizione del Corriere Canadese pubblicheremo un servizio completo sulla controversa vicenda.

Teatro Meadowvale encerrado para renovações até ao verão de 2022

Representação do exterior das futuras renovações do Teatro Meadowvale (Cidade de Mississauga)

O palco está pronto para o Teatro Meadowvale receber uma reforma muito necessária. A partir de 21 de maio, o teatro vai encerrar temporariamente para obras de renovação.

Em comunicado de imprensa, a presidente da Câmara, Bonnie Crombie, salientou que o Teatro Meadowvale “é um centro vibrante que faz parte da cena artística e cultural de Mississauga há mais de 30 anos”. Por isso, acrescenta Crombie, “fico feliz que o teatro esteja a ser modernizado e valorizado, para que possa servir melhor o público de teatro como um lugar para vivenciar a nossa vibrante comunidade de artes cénicas”.

O projeto de modernização do espaço enquadra-se nas metas do Plano Diretor de Cultura da cidade para melhorar e valorizar os espaços culturais, apoiar e ajudar no crescimento da indústria criativa e permitir experiências culturais de alta qualidade.

“Estamos entusiasmados com a renovação que ajudará a expandir o acesso ao teatro e criar mais oportunidades para as artes cénicas na cidade”, disse Paul Damaso, Diretor de Artes e Cultura. “Esta renovação também aborda o envelhecimento do teatro, incluindo os melhoramentos da acessibilidade, sinalização das instalações e eficiência energética.”

O Teatro Meadowvale está fechado há mais de um ano, devido à pandemia. Esta será a primeira modernização do teatro desde a sua abertura ao público em 1989. ■

Chicken and pork adobo, photo credit, Lutong Bahay

I’ve been eating adobo ever since I can remember. My adobo is the chicken and pork preparation, cooked exactly as it appears in the photo accompanying this article. It is the national dish of the country I come from and a derivation of the Spanish word adobar, which means to marinate raw food in a stock of vinegar and herbs. This is one legacy of Spain to the Philippines after three and a quarter centuries of colonization. Spanish presence is evident in my old country, not just in foods but also in Filipinos’ names, like mine. (more…)

Pozwólmy kanadyjskim lekarzom zostać w domu

Wczoraj odbyłem długą rozmowę z moim serdecznym przyjacielem Tomem.

Polonia w Toronto
Polonia w Toronto courtesy of PNATA

Tom jest jednym z najbardziej zasłużonych działaczy polonijnych w Kanadzie, od kilkudziesięciu lat mieszka w Toronto. Ma na swoim koncie setki, jeśli nie tysiące własnych, genialnych inicjatyw, z których korzystali zarówno emigranci, jak i Ci urodzeni w Kanadzie. Od czasu przybycia do Toronto, Tom oddawał się bez reszty, był pochłonięty życiem i współpracą z Polonią w Kanadzie – ludźmi takimi jak ja i Ty. Dziesiątki, jeśli nie setki razy osobiście opiekował się najznamienitszymi gośćmi z Polski, często udzielając im gościny w swoich progach. Pokazywał im Kanadę i Amerykę Północną. Jest osobą, która w każdej sytuacji pomagała drugiemu.

Teraz Tom potrzebuje pomocy. Dla Toma i jemu podobnych powinna nastąpić zmiana w Kanadzie. Diametralna i strategiczna. Epokowa! Teraz!

Tom w ostatnich tygodniach bardzo podupadł na zdrowiu.

Jego doświadczenia ze służbą zdrowia w Toronto są wręcz nie do wiary.

Ponieważ lekarstwa i opieka ze strony jego lekarza GP, notabene (chyba) najstarszego stażem polonijnego lekarza w Toronto, nie pomagały mu już, a z bólu bliski był utraty przytomności zgłosił się do Szpitala St Joseph’s w sercu najstarszej polskiej dzielnicy Roncesvalles Ave w Toronto.

Paranoja obecnej sytuacji polega na tym, że cała uwaga i koncentracja lekarzy i służby zdrowia skupia się jedynie na potencjale zachorowania na Covid-19.

Czy z punktu widzenia osób na dole, takich jak Ty i ja, nie jest to oznaka ignorancji osób na poziomach zarządzających tym systemem?

Z opowieści Tom-a dowiedziałem się, że większość lekarzy tego szpitala pracuje… z domu. Przez telefon. Po zakończonej operacji, jeśli chory ma szczęście i się na nią załapie, dalszy kontakt z lekarzem jest tylko telefoniczny. Nie było możliwe w Szpitalu St Joseph’s znaleźć kanadyjskich lekarzy z powołania, którzy jak na polu walki bądź na wojnie, pod ostrzałem karabinów lub przy uderzeniach bomb, udzielają pomocy chorym i najbardziej potrzebującym.

Komfort Kanady

Kanadyjscy lekarze działają ze swojego komfortu we własnym mieszkaniu, a Tom i jemu podobni, pozostawieni są… no właśnie komu?

Tom powiedział mi, że kontakt z nim miało dwóch (chyba) lekarzy lub „essentian care” workers, jakiekolwiek by nie były ich kwalifikacje, którzy dopiero co przybyli do Kanady. Nie jest do końca pewien kim byli z zawodu, lecz za zadanie mieli podłączenie mu morfiny.

Pierwszy „essential care” worker zmasakrował mu rękę, nie udało mu się wbić igły i poddał się.

Drugi „essential care” worker wbił igłę i podłączył kroplówkę.

Po pewnym czasie przyszła starsza kanadyjska przełożona i zapytała tego drugiego, czy kiedykolwiek był nad wodospadem? On odpowiedział, że tak. Zapytała dalej, jak płynie woda z wodospadu, z dołu do góry czy z góry w dół? On po chwili zastanowienia odpowiedział, że z góry w dół. Ona wtedy zapytała, „dlaczego więc założyłeś kroplówkę tak, jakby płyn miał lecieć z dołu do góry?” Poprawił. Ona odeszła. Znajomy bił się myślami: czy w ogóle przeżyje, kto właściwie się nim zajmuje i co stało się z tą słynną kiedyś opieką zdrowotną w Ontario i w Kanadzie?

Znajomy żyje, kroplówka z morfiną ulżyła mu. Czeka go jednak jeszcze długa droga zanim wydobrzeje. Dlatego on i wiele innych osób z ciężkimi chorobami potrzebuje zmian teraz!

Tom leżąc, słyszał jak starsza Polka – Kanadyjka z polskim pochodzeniem z jednej z najstarszych fal emigracji do Kanady, prawdopodobnie tuż po wojnie, nie była w stanie porozumieć się z bólu po angielsku, mówiła jedynie po polsku. Człowiek mieszkający na emigracji, w najcięższej chorobie, przy dużych bólach wraca „automatycznie” do języka matczynego – mother tongue, którym posługiwał się będąc dzieckiem. Nie ważne, że minęło od tamtej pory 90 lat. Tak jest zbudowany nasz mózg. Dobrze, że ta pani miała ze sobą córkę, która za nią tłumaczyła. Kto wie, czy przeżyłaby bez niej i z brakiem komunikacji w języku polskim na miejscu – bo szpital w centrum najstarszej polskiej dzielnicy w Toronto nie dysponuje personelem mówiącym po polsku ani nawet tłumaczem. Nie dysponuje bo system na to nie pozwala.

Ta rozmowa ze znajomym uświadomiła mi, że siedząc z założonymi rękoma nie osiągniemy nic.

Postanowiłem zacząć od siebie i napisałem ten artykuł.

Jaka jest moja wizja poprawy sytuacji?

Pozwolić kanadyjskim lekarzom leczyć przez telefon, a pozwolić lekarzom z Europy przyjechać i leczyć w Kanadzie.

Wielka Brytania i Niemcy w bardzo krótkim czasie ściągnęły do siebie dziesiątki tysięcy lekarzy i pielęgniarek z Polski. Polska zaliczyła „brain drain”. System opieki zdrowotnej się nie załamał. Mimo wszystko funkcjonuje o niebo lepiej niż system w Kanadzie. Uczmy się od Polaków.

Co zrobili, aby „załatać dziurę”?

Polska postanowiła, po cichu stać się w Unii Europejskiej krajem numer jeden, który ściągnie do siebie największą liczbę imigrantów. W ostatnich latach zamieszkało w Polsce samych Ukraińców ponad 3 miliony. Polska pozwala na szybką ścieżkę imigracji każdemu, kto chce w Polsce pracować i pochodzi z jakiegokolwiek kraju w Europie, ale z kraju z poza Unii Europejskiej. Warunkiem jest oświadczenie z urzędu miasta, że konkretna firma (np. szpital) oferuje miejsce pracy dla Żenii z Ukrainy. Proste? Da się?

Dzięki elastycznemu podejściu w zarządzaniu strategią m.in. w służbie zdrowia oraz otwarciu się na imigrantów, polska służba zdrowia, pomimo, że przeciążona przez fale Covid-19, może być przykładem dla Kanady.

Kanado: skończ z biurokracją, bo ludzie cierpią i umierają, otwórz się na wszystkich Europejczyków! Mieszkańcy Toronto potrzebują lekarzy i personelu służby zdrowia mówiących europejskimi językami, a więc po polsku, rosyjsku, ukraińsku, chorwacku, litewsku, włosku, grecku i portugalsku.
