Welcome to the Canadian National Multilingual News Group (CNMNG). This is a project made possible through funding by Canadian Heritage. CNMNG aims to gather news researched and written by a corps of Canadian-based journalists/writers from the country’s multilingual community groups. The overall goal is to inform, analyze and critique the issues of the day in a professional manner and to provide that to publishers and editors active in the ethnocultural-multilingual press and media whose experience provides them with a perspective that is sensitive to news relevant to their own language group.

TORONTO – Songs, drums, speeches, dances. But also painful testimonies and tears. For the first time in its history, Canada celebrated The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation yesterday. A day, that of yesterday, established by Ottawa last June 3 to commemorate the tragic and painful history of residential schools, to remember the dead children and those who survived, their families and communities.

TORONTO – Last July in Alberta practically all anti-Covid restrictions were eliminated. Prime Minister Jason Kenney, in fact, had implemented his “Open for Summer Plan”, a three-phase plan to reopen the economy that came into force at the beginning of June with which the former minister of the Harper government takes a different path from that of the other premiers. While in the rest of the provinces the line of a prudent reopening had been chosen, following the suggestions of the various technical scientific committees, in Alberta Kenney had opted for the “everything and immediately” approach.

TORONTO – Riesplode la polemica sull’obbligo di vaccino per alcune categorie in Ontario e in Canada. Il tema, spinoso e controverso, covava già da tempo sotto le ceneri, coperto nelle ultime settimane dagli schiamazzi della campagna elettorale e dall’accanimento mediatico sui partiti, sui leader e i loro programmi. Chiuso il capitolo voto, la questione è riscoppiata negli ultimi giorni in maniera dirompente, provocando uno strascico di polemiche, accuse e veleni dagli esiti incerti… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

EDMONTON – Alberta e Saskatchewan sono al collasso. Martedì, l’Alberta ha riportato 1.246 nuovi casi di Covid-19 e altri 18 decessi, dopo le migliaia di nuove infezioni del weekend; il Saskatchewan ha a sua volta registrato 446 nuove infezioni e 10 nuovi decessi. Numeri troppo alti, in rapporto alla popolazione delle due province (4.371.000 la prima, 1.174.000 la seconda).

TORONTO – Ontario: 495 nuove infezioni, ieri, in leggero aumento rispetto alle 466 di martedì e alle 463 di una settimana fa. Ma comunque ancora sotto le 500, secondo un trend rassicurante che sembra confermato giorno dopo giorno. Lunedì i nuovi casi erano stati 613, domenica 653 e sabato 640.

TORONTO – Alcuni miei amici sono spirituali. Credono in un ultraterreno che riconosce un’entità superiore dalla quale scaturisce tutta la moralità e alla quale, in definitiva, dobbiamo tutti rendere conto. Altri si concentrano maggiormente sull’espressione manifesta di quella moralità vista attraverso le azioni (opere buone): la regola d’oro innata “fai agli altri ciò che vorresti fosse fatto a te”… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

To recommend its administration is the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) which has included this suggestion among its guidelines updated in recent days. Residents of these facilities “are at greater risk of Covid-19 infection due to their daily interactions with other residents and staff, as well as being at greater serious illness due to their age and previous pathologies”, reads the document. (more…)
TORONTO – Some friends of mine are spiritual. They believe in an otherworldliness that acknowledges a higher power from whom all morality flows and to whom, ultimately, we must all be accountable. Others focus more on the manifest expression of that morality as seen through deeds (good works): the innate golden rule “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. (more…)

On Tuesday, Alberta reported 1,246 new cases of Covid-19 and another 18 deaths, following the weekend’s thousands of new infections; Saskatchewan also recorded 446 new infections and 10 new deaths. Numbers too high, in relation to the population of the two provinces (4,371,000 the first, 1,174,000 the second). And, as we have already written several times in the last few days, the hospitals of both are at the limit. (more…)
TORONTO – Controversy over mandatory vaccine for certain categories in Ontario and Canada is re-erupted. The issue, thorny and controversial, has been lying under the ashes for some time, covered in recent weeks by the noise of the electoral campaign and the media fury on parties, leaders and their programs. Closed the voting chapter, the issue has re-ebbed in recent days in a disruptive way, causing a trail of controversy, accusations and poisons with uncertain outcomes. (more…)
September 30 marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. It is a day for reflection and to honour the lost children and survivors of the country’s residential schools, their families and communities.

The year 2020 presented several challenges for companies struggling to survive amidst the global pandemic. However, some business have been able to weather the storm despite one of the steepest drops in Canada’s real GDP on record.
In 2019, the country reported a real GDP of roughly $1.64 Trillion (T). In 2020, that figure dropped to $1.57 T, a difference of more than $70 Billion. While Canadians continue to work at regaining those losses, some businesses have managed to prosper throughout the pandemic-induced instability.
With the largest vaccination campaign underway, the province has administered more than 21.7 million doses into the arms of Ontarians. On September 28, numbers released by the Ministry of Health show health officials administered 31,855 vaccine doses on Monday, up from 20,454 doses the day prior.

While it is important to identify emerging trends that may positively impact economic growth, it is also essential to understand which jobs are in decline so as not to get stuck in a career that goes nowhere.
