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 – Everything: injuries, trauma and even viruses (Covid-19 aside). Ontario hospitals are again under siege, this time not due the pandemic but for other reasons: from the seasonal flu to injuries (especially young people, returned “free” after two years of restrictions). The situation is similar in all hospitals in the country: records of emergency room visits and beds “sold out”. (more…)
TORONTO – This latest wave of Covid-19 seems to be affecting more children. Visits to hospital emergency rooms by children with severe symptoms are uphill since the pandemic began two years ago. In the last two weeks, 89 children have been hospitalized across the province of Ontario. And the pressure on the Ford government to restore the obligation to wear masks, following this recent spike in infections related to children, is growing. “We’re seeing guys who have a high fever. Children for whom it is painful to breathe, others who need oxygen supplementation,” said Dr. Brett Belchetz who serves in a Toronto emergency room.
BRAMPTON – Yesterday, the rally for Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre in Brampton was cancelled moments before it was scheduled to begin due to a medical emergency. An adult male suffered a medical episode and was taken to hospital Saturday morning. (more…)
BRAMPTON – The rally for Conservative leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre in Brampton was cancelled due to a medical emergency. An adult male was taken to hospital after suffering a medical episode Saturday morning.
Peel paramedic crews attended the scene at Brampton’s Pearson Convention Centre (2638 Steeles Ave. E) around 10:15 a.m.
At the venue, paramedics tended to a man in his 60s, in critical, life-threatening condition. He was transported, via ambulance, to a local hospital, paramedics said.
Poilievre briefly appeared at the gathering with his wife Anaida by his side, along with Andrew Scheer, MP for Regina – Qu-Appelle and former Conservative Party Leader. He told the room of about one thousand supporters that the rally will be reconvened at a later date. He asked all who were gathered to observe a moment of silence and to pray for the man’s well-being.
