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.
OTTAWA – In order to help those affected by the measures imposed to cope with the spread of the Covid-19 variant Omicron, the federal government has temporarily expanded eligibility for two economic aid programs. This was announced today by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “We will be there for the most affected regions, for specific sectors such as art and culture, hospitality and tourism – said Trudeau during a virtual press conference – we will be present to protect you and your families”.
TORONTO – The threat posed by Omicron continues to increase day by day. In Ontario one of the most pressing difficulties is to understand to what extent the new variant is fueling the contagion in this wave of the pandemic. The problem, as Explained on Tuesday by Chief Medical Officer Kieran Moore and as the Provincial Technical Scientific Committee reiterated today, is represented by the fact that at this moment we are not able to have in hand a precise and exhaustive snapshot of the infections: the provincial laboratories have to deal with the analysis of backward swabs that go back a few days, therefore the presentation of daily data is – unlike the last twenty months – approximate and not able to provide a real mapping of infections.
