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 – Un nuovo rapporto commissionato dal governo del premier Doug Ford – ma in qualche modo “insabbiato” dallo stesso esecutivo – avverte che i cambiamenti climatici comportano rischi elevati per l’Ontario, con impatti su tutto, dalla produzione alimentare alle infrastrutture e fino alle imprese… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
TORONTO – A new report commissioned by the government of Premier Doug Ford – but somehow “covered up” by the government itself – warns that climate change poses high risks for Ontario, with impacts on everything from food production to infrastructure and businesses. The report – called the Provincial Climate Change Impact Assessment and carried out by a team of researchers from the Sudbury-based Climate Risk Institute – predicts an increasing number of days with extreme heat across Ontario, as well as an increase in flooding and fires.

TORONTO – Toronto produces 900,000 tonnes of waste per year. But it is unclear whether this figure is pre-pandemic. Trash is not a Toronto-centric problem. It was recently reported in the New York Times that 193 countries have produced 8 million tonnes of pandemic-related plastic waste. 1.5 billion face masks are projected to end up in your oceans.
TORONTO – I veicoli elettrici (EV) potrebbero non risolvere i problemi associati al cambiamento climatico; possono però svolgere un ruolo chiave nell’aiutare a ridurre le emissioni di gas serra (GHG). Secondo Our World in Data, il settore energetico è responsabile del 73% di tutte le emissioni di gas serra. Tale tasso include circa il 16% delle emissioni associate ai trasporti, di cui il 12% relativo al trasporto su strada… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
Electric vehicles (EV) may not solve the issues associated with climate change; they may play a key role in helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). According to Our World in Data, the energy sector is responsible for 73% of all GHG emissions. That rate includes roughly 16% of emissions associated with transportation, of which 12% is related to road transportation.
In Canada, road transportation accounts for roughly one-fifth of the nation’s total GHG emissions. Eliminating carbon emissions from passenger vehicles is part of the national plan to reach net-zero by 2050. (more…)
TORONTO – C’è stato uno sforzo internazionale concentrato a combattere il cambiamento climatico. Uno degli obiettivi principali è la riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra (GHG), di cui l’anidride carbonica (CO2) è uno dei principali responsabili. Ma da dove provengono queste emissioni e chi è responsabile della maggior parte delle emissioni di carbonio? … Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
There has been a concentrated international effort to combat climate change. One main focus is on the cutting of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), carbon dioxide (CO2) being one of main culprits. But where do these emissions come from and who is responsible for the majority of carbon emissions?
According to the World Inequality Report 2022 (December 2021), data analysis by a team of world-leading economists suggests that the richest 10% of the global population produces close to 50% of GHG. (more…)
TORONTO – Gli oceani coprono oltre il 70% della superficie terrestre. Potremmo considerarli una fonte di energia rinnovabile, termica o meccanica. Gli oceani catturano il calore del sole mentre le loro correnti e le onde generano energia meccanica… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth’s surface. We may be overlooking them as a source of renewable energy, whether thermal or mechanical. The oceans capture the sun’s heat while their currents, and waves generate mechanical power. Harnessing the power of this vast natural resource, while protecting its ecosystem and biodiversity were among the topics of discussion at the COP26 Summit.
Canada appears to be among global leaders when assessing ocean environment, marine activity, technology innovation, policy and regulation, as outlined in the MIT Technology Review: The Blue Technology Barometer 2021 Report (BTB).
TORONTO – Quello passato è stato un anno caratterizzato da devastanti disastri naturali, da ondate di caldo mortali a catastrofici incendi e inondazioni violente.

This past year has been one of devastating natural disasters, from deadly heatwaves to catastrophic wildfires and raging floods. The intensifying climate crisis was top of mind for world leaders and climate experts at the COP26 Summit that ended in a last-minute compromise to “phase down” the use of coal.
Environmental activists point to greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) as one of the main culprits in the climate crisis. Pressure is mounting in the power sector to transition from GHG emitting sources of energy like coal to more renewable sources. Solar power appears to be leading the way.

TORONTO – All roads led to Italy for the 2-day G20 summit meeting this year. US President Joe Biden had to put on hold domestic issues just to be in Rome for this summit. Top of the agenda was climate change. Prince Charles addressed the leaders of attending countries. From Rome, participants proceeded to Glasgow, Scotland, for the UN COP26 meeting. In both meetings, activists ensured that their voices are heard by world leaders. These meetings are unique because Covid safety protocols are in place. I remember when G8-G20 was held in Toronto having experienced challenges covering the event. (more…)
TORONTO – Canada’s pressing for a breakthrough in the global fight against climate change.

Food is essential to our survival. With food prices on the rise, roughly two out of five Canadians have altered their behaviour when shopping for groceries, all in an effort to save money. While it costs more to feed our families, it may also cause us to reflect on how much food we waste.

TORONTO – Nung Mayo nitong taon na ito, maraming mga manok at mga isda ang nangamatay sa Dagupan, Philippines, dahil sa tinding init na umabot sa 52 Celsius. Nitong tag araw sa Canada, ang baryong Lytton sa BC, ay uminit nang matindi na umabot ng 49.4 Celsius, tapos nasunog ito sa sumunod na araw. Nung 2018, dalawang kamaganak ko ang bumiyahe sa San Francisco para makipagkita sa mga pinsan na dumadalaw galing sa Pilipinas. Nang pababa na ang eroplano nila, kitang kita nila ang mga sunog sa California. Paglabas nila sa hantungan, puro usok ang naamoy nila at nangailangan silang magsuot ng maskara. Nung huling araw nila sa SFO, yung mga cable cars na likas na San Franciscan ay hindi pinahintulutan na umandar dahil sa alikabok at mababang aninag sa dadaanan ng mga ito. (more…)
TORONTO – May 12th of this year saw chickens and fishes dying from the heat in Dagupan City, Philippines. The temperature that day registered at 52 Celsius. Early this summer, Lytton, BC, registered a record high of 49.4 C. The following day, wildfire devastated the village. In 2018, two relatives travelled to San Francisco early November to meet up with their cousins who were touring the US. While their plane descended for landing, they could see wildfires from the plane window. When they stepped out of the terminal, smoke was in the air. They had to wear masks. This, in SFO, in November. On their last full day in that city, the cable cars, which give SFO its character, stopped running for the day. The streets of San Francisco were covered in dust and visibility was so low, operating a cable car became risky, given that this is done manually. (more…)
VENEZIA – La sua poesia ha fatto il giro del mondo quando il mondo era “chiuso”, in lockdown, e neanche con le persone vicine si poteva parlare, se non con gli occhi. Poi, ha superato i confini del tempo: dallo scorso mese di maggio, giace in una capsula nel giardino della scuola del polo scolastico nel piccolo borgo di Buttapietra, in provincia di Verona (Veneto, Italia), che verrà dissotterrata e riaperta solo nel 2071, cinquant’anni dopo la pandemia. Per non dimenticare. Adesso “Parliamo con gli occhi”, la poesia di Agata De Nuccio tradotta in tutte le lingue del mondo e diventata, in pochi mesi, una sorta di inno multilingue (dall’Italiano all’Afrikaans, fino alla lingua dei Nativi Canadesi), ha ricevuto un ambìto riconoscimento: un premio speciale nell’ambito del “Log To Green Movie Award 2021”, che verrà consegnato dalla poetessa italiana nel corso della 78esima Mostra Internazionale d’Arte Cinematogrfica di Venezia. L’appuntamento è per sabato 11 settembre, alle ore 13, al Lido di Venezia. (more…)

Viele Allergiker haben in diesem Jahr möglicherweise im Vergleich zum Vorjahr erhöhte Symptome festgestellt. Es stellt sich heraus, dass es in einigen Teilen Kanadas durch überdurchschnittlich hohe Pollenwerte in der Luft verursacht wurde.

Wir konnten eine ungewöhnlich große Menge Pollen auf unseren Autos sehen, vielleicht die größte seit vielen Jahren. (more…)
Many allergy sufferers may have noticed increased symptoms this year compared to last year. It turns out that it was caused by higher-than-normal pollen levels in the air in some parts of Canada.
A particularly strong pollen explosion occurred in southern Ontario and Quebec. There was a thin layer of yellow pollen that covered most of Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. We could see an unusually large amount of pollen on our cars, perhaps the largest since many years. (more…)
