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 – In a third world country like the Philippines with so many poor people, rumour and gossip seem to be the national pastime. Texting (email) costs only one peso, a mere few cents Canadian. Even if this is the Philippines, poverty has not stopped citizens from engaging in online chats, Facebook and Twitter. And they feel important for they all have something to say, for after all they are a part of a larger social group.
Emergono prove convincenti sul fatto che il progresso scientifico nel mondo si stia inceppando. Secondo un’importante ricerca apparsa su Nature—‘Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time’—l’intensità con cui si compiono scoperte scientifiche e tecnologiche ‘dirompenti’ avrebbe subito una brusca frenata dalla metà del secolo scorso.
