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 – As on so many issues, the USA is once again influencing the political discourse in Canada. The American Supreme Court’s (USSC) decision to roll back “rights to abortion” was immediately attacked here in Canada by our political representatives and others.
TORONTO – Pandemic, education, health. It was with these issues that the liberal, NDP and Green Party leaders tried to put outgoing conservative Prime Minister Doug Ford with their backs to the wall during the debate ahead of the provincial vote on June 2. A debate, this, which was supposed to be a golden opportunity to convince the electorate that the Ford era in Queen’s Park had come to an end by overturning the polls that predict the victory of the Conservative Party. But NDP leader Andrea Horwath, Liberal leader Steven Del Duca and Green leader Mike Schreiner have failed to show that they are ready to lead the next government.
The only official debate in this election campaign gave Ontario’s four main party leaders the opportunity to discuss and debate their records. While the 90-minute debate (on May 16) did not solve any of the key issues in this election, it allowed those who tuned in the chance to better understand the direction of each party’s plan for the future of Ontario.
All Canadians have an interest in the process and the outcome of the Conservative Party of Canada Leadership contest, regardless of partisan affiliation. With all due respect to the other parties (Bloc Quebecois, Green, Liberal and NDP) it is one of two Parties with any realistic chance of forming a federal government. The other being the Liberals.
This Sunday, most Canadians will roll back the clock one hour when Daylight Saving time (DST) ends. The ritual caps off the bi-annual clock change that started on March 14 when clocks sprang forward one hour. But, is DST still necessary?
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…)
TORONTO – Ho hum, waiting for election day. I had the sensation of being on a raft, no paddle, in the middle of Lake Ontario, a sunny day, placid waters and storm clouds on the horizon… and no way to get to the distant shore. Welcome to a phoney debate. (more…)
TORONTO – The debate in Quebec on September 2 between the leaders did not shift the balance of power between the parties. The confirmation comes from the last 8 polls carried out after the debate in French which highlight how the Conservative Party led by Erin O’Toole continues to enjoy a comforting margin of advantage over the liberals of Justin Trudeau. Jagmeet Singh’s NDP continues to play the role of third inconvenience while the percentage of undecided remains high. The gap that divides the conservatives from the Liberal Party ranges from the 1.5 percent detected by Nanos to 6.4 percent highlighted by Ekos. In general, tories are stabilising at around 35 per cent, while grits range from 28.1 per cent to 33 per cent. (more…)
TORONTO – There’s no need to wait until the “other debates” next week to determine who will win the election campaign. As far as the debate reserved for the all-important Quebecois constituency is concerned all the issues have been resolved. Nothing else needs to be said or heard. (more…)
The party leaders appeared on stage for the first time Thursday in a French-language debate that could very well decide who is Canada’s next prime minister. (more…)
TORONTO – Even in Canada, which is clearly lagging behind European countries, is igniting the debate on the possibility of imposing the vaccination obligation on health personnel. In the Old Continent, italy was also the forerunner this time: last April 1, the government led by Mario Draghi launched a measure that extended the vaccination obligation for doctors, nurses, health assistants, workers of long-term care homes (RSA) and pharmacists.

TORONTO – The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) would seem to have laid down the ground rules for any discussion on the legitimacy of Catholic schools in Ontario’s “public education systems”. A unanimous decision, rendered May 21, 2021, essentially reaffirms that secular courts have no business in the affairs of religious organizations.
