OTTAWA — Canada is cutting, for the first time, its contribution to the Global Fund, a major program for fighting infectious diseases in the world’s poorest countries. And the head of the United Nations HIV/AIDS program, Winnie Byanyima (in the pic above, from her Twitter profile – @Winnie_Byanyima), is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to reverse his government’s planned cuts to foreign aid and global health funding.
Canadian National Multilingual Newsgroup
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.
