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.

Immigration (and the resulting birth rates) was an important, if not pre-eminent, factor in that growth. Until relatively recently considered a demographic phenomenon, immigration has begun taking its rightful place as an economic policy.
LONDON – Barring a miracle, the story of Indi Gregory, the 8-month-old baby affected by a serious genetic pathology and hospitalized in an English hospital, is headed for a tragic epilogue: on Saturday the procedures for the detachment of life support machinery began and the little girl was transferred from the Queen’s Medical Center in Nottingham to a hospice. Therefore, the last appeal of the parents – who, after having attempted to take her to Italy to have her treated at the Bambino Gesù hospital (for this purpose, the Italian government had granted citizenship to the child), had asked the English doctors to at least be able to take her home – was also rejected .
