Bisikleta sa Toronto

TORONTO – Mayroon na naman na puting biskleta sa kato kalye nang Bloor at Unibersity. Isa na naman buhay ang nawala at hindi maalis sa akin kaisipan na dapat ito ay di nangyari at naiwasan. Ang edad nang bata ay 18 taon gulang. Lalong mahirap tangapin na ang bata ay mula sa Filipino-Canadian kommuniti. Ito’y maaring isang pamangkin, isang kapatid, kaibigan nang pamilya. Hindi ito ang unang nasawi sa lugar. Noon 2018 sa kalye nang Bloor at St. George may isang babae edad na 58 ay namatay nang ito ay tinamaan nang isang plat beded trak. Continue reading→
Bicycles in Toronto

TORONTO – There is a white bicycle at the corner of Bloor and University street. Another cyclist’s life has been claimed and I cannot help but think that this somehow could have been avoided. The boy was only 18. What makes this even harder is that he appears to be from the Filipino community. This could have been a nephew, a brother, a friend of the family. This is not the first fatality in the Annex area. In 2018, at Bloor and St. George, a 58-year-old woman was killed by a flatbed truck. Continue reading→
Discontent and disappointment fuel the revolt inside the Conservative Party

TORONTO – Give Erin O’Toole another chance or turn the page with another leader? This is the crossroads at which the ruling class of the Conservative Party finds itself, which has to deal with the creeping discontent of the Tory base dissatisfied with the defeat at the polls and the impatience of a large group of parliamentarians already ready to question the leadership of the former minister for veteran affairs. We are currently at a standstill. Continue reading→

La fine del mondo

Viviamo in un’epoca molto attratta dalla visione apocalittica del futuro. Forse pensiamo di meritarci l’Apocalisse. Ad ogni modo, la convinzione che stiamo per fare una brutta fine cresce e s’allarga, creando spazi per improbabili fenomeni “biblici”, come la scelta di prendere le nostre verità “dalla bocca de’ fanciulli e de’ lattanti… per ridurre al silenzio l’avversario” (Salmi 8:2). Ciò da quando non vogliamo più fidarci dei climatologi che, come i virologi della Pandemia, si sono forse un po’ sovraesposti… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
Nuova statua della Spigolatrice di Sapri: è polemica

SAPRI (Salerno) – «Me ne andava al mattino a spigolare / quando ho visto una barca in mezzo al mare»… A molti dei nostri lettori questi versi risveglieranno ricordi patriottici e/o scolastici: si tratta dell’incipit della poesia di Luigi Mercantini “La spigolatrice di Sapri”, dedicata alla sfortunata impresa di Carlo Pisacane, che pochi anni prima di Garibaldi cercò senza successo di fomentare una rivolta antiborbonica nel Regno delle Due Sicilie sbarcando a Sapri con i trecento “giovani e forti” cui allude la canzone (che però, a onor del vero, erano per la maggior parte delinquenti comuni liberati dal penitenziario di Ponza, non propriamente patrioti)… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
Il club dei bugiardi. I valori dell’educazione contemporanea

TORONTO – Qualcuno può per favore dire la verità? È stata una settimana di quel genere. I genitori che mandano i loro bambini nelle scuole del Provveditorato Cattolico hanno avuto una spiacevole sorpresa quando gli alunni hanno portato a casa appunti dalla loro scuola che avvertivano le famiglie di aspettarsi una “riorganizzazione” dell’esperienza di apprendimento in classe dei loro figli.
