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.
TORONTO – Her debut album marks a series of firsts: it is the first commercial recording on the Graf fortepiano owned by the Banff Center for Arts and Creativity in Canada; it is the first ever recording of Robert Schumann’s “Novelletta in F sharp minor”, op. 21 No. 8, on the fortepiano; it is the first album on the home label Céleste Music, and, most likely, the first solo fortepiano album recorded by a Canadian artist.

TORONTO – Teachers and staff of the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 by November 1st may lose their jobs. (more…)
EDMONTON – Collapsing hospitals in Alberta. The fourth wave of Covid-19 has put a strain on the province’s health system, with around 200 patients currently in intensive care units and negative forecasts: the situation could further worsen in the weeks to come. (more…)

Only on 4 June last, in fact, more tests had been processed than today: 32,258. (more…)
At the north western edge of York Region is the electoral district of King-Vaughan. The constituency was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution and includes parts of the Township of King and the City of Vaughan.
According to the 2016 Census, King-Vaughan is home to 131,995 residents. It is a riding with one of the highest concentrations of Italian-Canadians. Roughly 40,955 constituents are of Italian origin, that represents 31% of the area’s population.
With the largest vaccination campaign underway, the province has administered more than 21.2 million doses into the arms of Ontarians. On September 15, numbers released by the Ministry of Health show health officials administered 35,691 vaccine doses on Tuesday, up from 28,657 doses the day prior.
TORONTO – Five days before the vote, conservatives and liberals are in substantial statistical parity. The latest polls confirm that the distance between the two parties is below the 2 percent threshold, which represents the margin of error and therefore certifies how the balance of power, expressed in the voting intentions of the Canadian electorate, has crystallized into a generalized parity. To try to understand what are the dynamics that are characterizing this new balance between the political forces in the race, it is necessary to analyze the situation on a regional basis. (more…)
TORONTO – Mayroon malaking pagitan sa harap nang Roy Thomson Hall. Dati rati mayroon mahabang puting tolda kung saan nag titipon ang mga potograper nag una Han kumuha nang litrato nang maga sikat na artista nadumaraan sa pula karpet. Sa ngayon ang makikita mo ay maga tao na may hawak na tali nang aso na linalakad, at pinupulot ang poo poo sa David Pecaut Square. Tahimik ang lahat. (more…)
TORONTO – There is a gaping hole in front of Roy Thomson Hall. Where there was once a long white pitched-up tent where the media elbowed each other to get a word in edge-wise to famous celebrities as they graced the red carpet, there now stand dog walkers picking up poop in David Pecaut Square. It is quiet. No screaming fans, no flash photography. But all is not lost. (more…)
TORONTO – Eis aqui um ponto de debate: Os direitos e garantias constitucionais permanecem válidos ou alguém se “ofende” com a sua existência? (more…)
Le immagini – sì, sono di Elvis Presley e Sophia Loren – c’entrano forse poco con il design di per sé, hanno piuttosto a che fare con una sorta di notorietà che non esiste più. E comunque, questo è uno di quei casi dove il contenuto visivo vale certamente più di ogni possibile testo d’accompagno… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – Nel mezzo tra Toronto e Mississauga c’è il distretto elettorale di Etobicoke Centre. La circoscrizione è stata creata nel 1976 e comprende parte della città di Toronto, comprese le comunità di Humber Valley Village, Markland Wood, Princess Gardens e Thorncrest Village. Secondo il censimento del 2016, l’Etobicoke Centre ospita 118.025 residenti. È una comunità diversificata composta da diversi background culturali ed etnici. Con il 15% della popolazione, gli italiani rappresentano uno dei più grandi gruppi etnici al di fuori del centro cittadino. Ciò si traduce in 17.545 costituenti di origine italiana… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – Con i dibattiti televisivi Erin O’Toole ha avuto la possibilità di chiudere la partita, ma evidentemente non è stato in grado di sfruttare l’occasione. È questa la chiave di lettura che deriva dall’analisi di tutti i sondaggi realizzati in Canada nel mese di settembre, che mettono in luce come nella prima settimana di questo mese i conservatori avevano consolidato un buon margine di vantaggio sui liberali, ma come, allo stesso tempo, dopo il doppio confronto tra i leader dei partiti questo vantaggio sia stato dissipato. In questo momento, dopo una fase di sostanziale parità statistica tra il Partito Conservatore e il Partito Liberale, è Justin Trudeau ad essere tornato a recitare il ruolo di front runner in vista del voto del 20 settembre… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – Ho votato col voto anticipato. Come molti lettori del Corriere Canadese, sono rimasto sorpreso dai profili dei distretti descritti quotidianamente da Priscilla Pajdo nelle nostre pagine. Nessun’altra pubblicazione ha fornito ai propri lettori un quadro così ampio e dettagliato di qualsiasi circoscrizione elettorale come i suoi articoli. Si è concentrata sui distretti in cui il 9% o più della popolazione è di origine italiana… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – Salgono i contagi e chiudono le scuole. Come previsto, il rientro a scuola, non sta filando liscio come l’olio. Ieri i provveditorati scolastici della provincia hanno segnalato infatti 286 casi attivi di Covid, in aumento del 97% rispetto al giorno prima mentre a intere classi è stato impartito l’ordine di rimanere a casa in quarantena… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – Più di 500 nuovi casi di Covid-19 anche ieri, in Ontario, ma il tasso di positività in provincia scende al livello più basso degli ultimi trenta giorni: 2,3%, rispetto al 3,4% di un settimana fa. I funzionari sanitari provinciali hanno segnalato ieri 577 nuovi casi, in calo rispetto ai 600 di lunedì ma in leggero aumento rispetto ai 564 dello stesso giorno della scorsa settimana… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

Here we provide a daily update of the data available for select countries and jurisdictions as of September 14, 2021, at 8:15 pm EST.
On Tuesday, health officials in the US logged 112,484 new infections. Of the cumulative 42.2 million confirmed positive cases, 76% are considered recovered. In the last 24-hours, Covid-related deaths increased by 1,738, bringing the total number of fatalities to 682,143.
TORONTO – I voted in the advance polls. Like many readers of the Corriere Canadese, I have been taken aback by the riding profiles offered daily by Priscilla Pajdo in our pages. No other publication has been providing their readers with as extensive and detailed a picture of any constituency as her pieces have. She has focused on districts where 9% or more of the population are of Italian origin. (more…)
TORONTO – Infections are rising and schools are closing. As expected, the return to school is not spinning as smooth as oil. Today the school boards of the province reported 286 active cases of Covid, an increase of 97% compared to the day before while entire classes were given the order to stay at home in quarantine. (more…)
TORONTO – More than 500 new cases of Covid-19 also today, in Ontario, but the positivity rate in the province drops to the lowest level in the last thirty days: 2.3%, compared to 3.4% a week ago (and it’s the lowest since mid-August). Provincial health officials reported 577 new cases today, down from 600 on Monday but slightly up from 564 on the same day last week. (more…)
TORONTO – With the televised debates Erin O’Toole had the chance to close the game, but evidently was not able to take advantage of the opportunity. This is the key to reading that derives from the analysis of all the polls carried out in Canada in September, which highlight how in the first week of this month the Conservatives had consolidated a good margin of advantage over the Liberals, but how, at the same time, after the double confrontation between the leaders of the parties this advantage has been dissipated. At this moment, after a phase of substantial statistical parity between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, it is Justin Trudeau who has returned to play the role of front runner in view of the vote on September 20.

Sandwiched between Toronto and Mississauga is the electoral district of Etobicoke Centre. The riding was created in 1976 and encompasses part of the City of Toronto, including the communities of Humber Valley Village, Markland Wood, Princess Gardens and Thorncrest Village.
According to the 2016 Census, Etobicoke Centre is home to 118,025 residents. It is a diverse community comprised of several different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. At 15% of the population, Italians represent one of the largest ethnic groups outside of the downtown core. (more…)

TORONTO – Le difficoltà di Jagmeet Singh e l’ascesa di Maxime Bernier frenano Erin O’Toole. E, per effetto dell’inerzia che si è venuta a creare, a sorridere è Justin Trudeau, che rilancia le proprie ambizioni per la conquista del terzo mandato dopo quelli scaturiti dal voto del 2015 e del 2019. A fornirci il cambiamento dei rapporti di forza in questa corsa al voto federale è l’istantanea scattata dagli ultimi sondaggi che mette in luce come tra il Partito Liberale e il Partito Conservatore continui ad esserci un serrato testa a testa sul quale, però, pesa enormemente quanto sta avvenendo a destra e a sinistra nell’arco partitico canadese… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – Ecco un punto di discussione: i diritti e le garanzie costituzionali rimangono validi se qualcuno è “offeso” dalla loro esistenza? Alcuni “personaggi” sono offesi dal fatto che i cattolici abbiano diritti confessionali garantiti dal Constitution Act, 1982 (ex British North America Act, 1867), ri-applicati dalla Carta dei Diritti e sostenuti dal Codice dei Diritti Umani. In particolare, hanno diritto alle proprie scuole, dove i loro valori culturali/religiosi devono essere insegnati e dove devono prevalere… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – L’anno scolastico è appena iniziato e già si contano parecchi casi di Covid-19: 189 per la precisione, distribuiti tra studenti e personale.

TORONTO – The school year has just begun and there are already several cases of Covid-19: precisely 189, distributed among students and staff. Several classes are already self-isolating at home and one school has been closed: the Viscount Alexander Public School in Cornwall, Ontario. But let’s go in order. (more…)
TORONTO – The difficulties of Jagmeet Singh and the rise of Maxime Bernier are holding back Erin O’Toole. And, as a result of the inertia that has been created, Justin Trudeau is smiling, relaunching his ambitions for the conquest of the third term after those resulting from the vote of 2015 and 2019. To provide us with the change in the balance of power in this race for the federal vote is the snapshot taken by the latest polls that highlight how between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party there continues to be a tight head-to-head on which, however, weighs enormously what is happening on the right and left in the Canadian party arc.

MONTREAL – Il Canada è il Paese più multietnico e multiculturale del mondo? Sì, di primo acchito. Poi però, se non vivi qui e provi ad entrare, legalmente, ti accorgi che quella del “Canada che accoglie” è solo una bella favoletta, soprattutto in Quebec dove ti scontri con la dura realtà come è accaduto a Giovanni Liotti, 23 anni, studente avellinese che giovedì scorso è partito dall’Italia per andare a trovare un amico a Montreal e venerdì si è visto costretto a ripartire verso il Belpaese dopo un’odissea di ben diciassette ore all’aeroporto quebecchese… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
L’Egitto è scosso da una fatwa sull’ammissibilità della ricostruzione dell’imene; cioè, la restituzione della verginità alle donne che sono state “sessualmente indiscrete” prima di convolare a giuste nozze.

TORONTO – Il collegio elettorale di Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas è stato creato dalla ridistribuzione dei confini elettorali federali del 2012. Consiste di parte della città di Hamilton e comprende le comunità di Ancaster e Dundas. Storicamente, l’area di Hamilton è stata popolare tra i gruppi di immigrati, in particolare quelli originari dell’Europa. Pertanto, non sorprende scoprire che gli italiani costituiscono il 12% della popolazione del distretto. Ciò si traduce in 13.140 residenti di origine italiana nel distretto di Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – L’ultima settimana di campagna elettorale si apre sulla falsariga del filo conduttore che sta caratterizzando il percorso che ci porta alle urne: quello dell’incertezza. Gli ultimi sondaggi, realizzati dopo i due dibattiti televisivi dell’8 e del 9 settembre tra i leader dei partiti, hanno confermato come i liberali e i conservatori siano impegnati in un serrato testa a testa, con i neodemocratici in difficoltà e con una impressionante crescita a destra del People’s Party di Maxime Bernier… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

On Sunday, health officials in the UK logged 29,173 new infections. Of the cumulative 7.2 million confirmed positive cases, 80.1% are considered recovered. In the last 24-hours, Covid-related deaths increased by 56, bringing the total number of fatalities to 134,200.
TORONTO – Contagions slightly down, but still above 700. Ontario seems to “hold up” and the impression that emerges from reading the latest data is that if everyone were vaccinated, the number of new cases would probably be much lower. Let’s see why. (more…)
TORONTO – The last week of the election campaign opens along the lines of the common thread that is characterizing the path that leads us to the polls: that of uncertainty. The latest polls, carried out after the two televised debates of 8 and 9 September between the leaders of the parties, have confirmed that the Liberals and Conservatives are engaged in a tight head-to-head, with the neo-Democrats in difficulty and with an impressive growth to the right of Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party.

The constituency of Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas was created by the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution. It includes part of the City of Hamilton and encompasses the communities of Ancaster and Dundas.
Historically, the Hamilton area has been popular among immigrant groups, most notably those originating from Europe. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that Italians make up 12% of the district’s population. (more…)

TORONTO – That is an unfair headline. The consortium of mainstream media earned another $3 million from government coffers. Additionally major media outlets were able to gauge the numbers of viewers for their advertisers, going forward, and their individual share of that market. (more…)

(Fatti Nostri / Anna Foschi) “Una storia contadina,” romanzo di Ennio Marchetti (nella foto) appena pubblicato da Lulu Editrice, racconta le vicende di una famiglia contadina del Vercellese che si dipanano in un lungo arco di anni, dai primi del ‘900 fino agli anni ’50. Marchetti, nato a Gattinara, conosce molto bene la vita e le usanze di un’epoca nella quale l’agricoltura era ancora il motore economico predominante. Ascoltando i racconti dei suoi nonni e di altri famigliari, ha raccolto una preziosa messe di ricordi che rischiano ormai di sbiadire dalla memoria e ha deciso di raccontarli in un romanzo ispirato alla storia della sua famiglia, mescolando abilmente elementi di fantasia a storie vere… Read More in Fatti Nostri >>>
