Health Summit, NDP on the attack
TORONTO – That Canada’s healthcare system is limping more and more is nothing new. In addition to the backlog of surgical interventions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, waits in hospital emergency rooms now reach up to 14 hours and it also happens that many are temporarily closed for lack of doctors and nurses.
Thank people who stay true to their word
TORONTO – Last week, Corriere Canadese interviewed five York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) trustees: Rose Cantisano, Dino Giuliani, Maria Iafrate, Maria Marchese and Domenic Mazzotta. All of them of Italian background, although only one was born outside of Canada. They had had enough of the not-so-subtle, often overt, discrimination to which they were being subjected because of their “ethnicity”.
Families can’t take it any more: debts also for grocery
TORONTO – More than half of Canadians can’t keep up with the cost of living and gets into debt to meet ordinary expenses: rent, food, gasoline. An alarming situation, to say the least, photographed by the Angus Reid Institute through a research conducted online from 8 to 10 August 2022 on a sample of 2,279 Canadian adults. Continue reading→
Crisi sanità, oggi vertice a Moncton
TORONTO – Emergenza infinita. Sembrano non dover finire presto le lunghe attese nei pronto soccorso di numerosi ospedali dell’Ontario. Ben che vada, prima di ricevere le cure necessarie, occorre aspettare quasi otto ore. A volte anche più a lungo…
Elezioni municipali senza gara in molti comuni in Ontario
TORONTO – Girata la clessidra, è iniziato il conto alla rovescia verso il voto amministrativo del 24 ottobre in Ontario. Venerdì scorso è scaduto il termine ultimo per la presentazione delle candidature alle cariche di sindaco, consigliere comunale e fiduciario nei provveditorati pubblici della provincia. A parte qualche caso sporadico, non ci sono stati colpi di scena dell’ultimo minuto…
Politica comunale: a che servono i Commissari per l’Integrità?
TORONTO – Brampton continua ad essere l’epicentro di disordini politici. Proprio quando si pensa che alcune questioni siano state messe a tacere, ne emerge una correlata. Alla vigilia della definitiva registrazione per la candidatura alle elezioni del 2022, la questione dell’“eleggibilità” alla carica è nuovamente emersa con forza…
Municipal politics: why have Integrity Commissioners?
TORONTO – Brampton continues to be the epicentre of political turmoil. Just when one thinks some issues have been laid to rest, a related one surfaces. On the eve of final registration for candidacy in the 2022 election, the “eligibility” for office issue has raised its head again.
Health crisis: Premiers’ summit in Moncton
TORONTO – Endless emergencies. There is no end in sight for the long waits in the Emergency rooms of numerous Ontario hospitals. As things stand, before receiving the necessary care, you may have to wait almost eight hours. Sometimes even longer. That may be the norm in the near future.
Ethnic press, the voice of Canada
TORONTO – 750 publications in more than 65 languages: the ethnic press plays an important role in the Canadian society and the NEPMCC (National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada) unites it all across the Country, as well represented today at the CNE, the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto. Publishers and journalist from every language media not in English or French gathered together to speak about the state of ethnic press in Canada and to promote their newspapers. During the event, Thomas S. Saras, President of NEPMCC, talked about the goals of the organization and the Honourable Joe Volpe, publisher of the Italian newspaper Corriere Canadese, underlined the force of the ethnic media in a Country where 23% of people speaks languages other than English and French.
After the speeches, officials cut the ceremonial ribbon to open the NEMCC booth at the CNE (in the pic below).
In the next edition of Corriere Canadese, more details about the event. Here below, some pics from the event (by Priscilla Pajdo and Marzio Pelù).
Candidati che se ne infischiano delle regole? Fuori
TORONTO – Ci deve essere un modo per “qualificare” i candidati a cariche politiche o per squalificare coloro che hanno una comprovata esperienza nel trasgredire gli standard pubblicamente accettati con comportamenti inappropriati. Nel bene e nel male, la burocrazia dei partiti politici riconosciuti conduce un processo di selezione per potenziali candidati alle cariche…
