TORONTO – From my perspective, York Region reflects a contemporary Canada: solid values imbedded in the Constitution to guide new people in a new land as they move upward. The Corriere Canadese has a special interest in its affairs: 31% of its citizens profess adherence to Catholicism; 145,000 residents self-identify as of Italian origin (the vast majority of them send their children to Catholic schools); ethnic Italians – for better or for worse – are at the “cutting edge” of the leadership required to bring diverse peoples together “for the sake of the whole”. Sometimes they lead; sometimes they follow.
