by Mariella Policheni

TORONTO – Ontario students will receive two rapid antigen tests when they return to class next Monday, but other than that, the government’s plan rests primarily on previously announced measures to keep schools safe during the Omicron wave.

Now Magazine apologizes to Corriere Canadese

by cnmng

TORONTO – A first step to re-establishing and remedying slanderous and defamatory accusations. This is what NOW Magazine did in publishing its official apology to the Corriere Canadese and its publisher Joe Volpe for an article by Enzo DiMatteo published in the magazine in March 2021. An article in which the newspaper and the former minister were accused of homophobia, of continuous and incessant anti-gay attacks and of having conducted out a campaign of intimidation towards the LGBTQ2 community. All without foundation and with serious commercial damages.

Obbligo vaccinale: tema scottante, silenzio dalla classe politica

by Francesco Veronesi

TORONTO – Ufficialmente non se ne parla. E questo perché il tema – di strettissima attualità – è scottante e complicato e di difficile soluzione: un mix di caratteristiche esplosive per la classe politica, che in questi giorni ha quindi preferito il silenzio, se non in qualche sparuto caso. Eppure, nonostante gli imbarazzati silenzi di chi ci governa e chi, all’opposizione, dovrebbe pungolare l’esecutivo sulle sue lacune e sulle sue mancanze, di obbligo vaccinale se ne parla eccome… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

In passato la lega nordamericana ha visto arrivare grandi nomi, da Ibrahimovic a Beckham, da Pirlo a Villa, passando per Higuain e Kakà: stelle di primo piano nel panorama calcistico mondiale, arrivate però nella fase calante della loro roboante carriera, campioni venuti nell’Mls per monetizzare l’ultimo – Ibra è un’eccezione – importane contratto prima di appendere le scarpe al chiodo e dire addio al calcio.

Mandatory vaccine: divisive issue, silence by the political class

by Francesco Veronesi

TORONTO – Officially nobody is talking about of it. And this is because the issue – very topical – is hot and complicated and difficult to solve: a mix of explosive characteristics for the political class, which in these days has therefore preferred to stay behind the scenes, if not in some small case. Yet, despite the embarrassed silences of those who govern us and those who, in opposition, should sting the executive on its shortcomings and shortcomings, vaccination obligation is talked about. Experts, virologists, trade representatives of the health and hospital sector discuss it.

Tourism-related employment in this Far East country shrank by 28 percent, while average hourly wage declined by 38%. I was in the Philippines last March 2020 when the pandemic broke out. And I noticed the absence of tourists in Metro Manila. The perception seemed to be that with the source of Covid 19 being in Asia, no one wanted to be in that continent.
