TORONTO – The provincial government is ready to change gears on the vaccination front. Starting in the next few days, the efforts of the Ontario health authorities will be aimed mainly at intensifying the vaccination campaign especially on the second dose, which until now is still a sore point, because the numbers on the recall injection are still too low compared to the other G20 countries.

“Equity advisors” turned hate mongers erode and destroy systems and rights

Contagion, vaccination, “herd immunity” have displaced math, science, technical know-how, development of social skills, and critical thinking. Continue reading→

La canzone raggiunge solo il decimo posto nella classifica italiana, ma viene incisa anche in Inglese con il titolo “More than strangers” (per il mercato americano) e francese (con il titolo “Si…”) e proprio a Parigi, nel 1969, con quello stesso brano, Mina viene accolta trionfalmente.
