TORONTO – Where will the CBC – Canada’s National Broadcaster – go next in pursuit of a story now that the Pope has returned to Vatican City? Who cares, you say? You would be right, if it were not for the fact that it is a divisive, bigoted, purveyor of fake news. And it costs the taxpayer about $1.5 Billion annually (2021 federal budget figures).
MONTREAL – A group of activists and doctors at the AIDS 2022 conference, held at the weekend in Montreal at the Palais des Congres (tomorrow is the last day), urged to increase resources to manage the “monkeypox” outbreaks , to avoid repeating the mistakes made during the first response to HIV. →
TORONTO – This penitential pilgrimage of the Pontifex Maximus, Pope Francis, is, for me, a classic example of an event grounded in the concept of wanting to “do what is right”. It manifests itself in the supreme patience of a very old man, personally suffering physical pain, assuming the weight of the harms (real and perceived) foisted on others by elements in the Church he leads in an era with which he had no personal attachment.
TORONTO – Today the Province of Ontario opened reservations for anti-Covid vaccines to infants and preschool children: the appointments – for children aged between six months and less than five years – are therefore available through the portal on line of the province https://covid-19.ontario.ca/book-vaccine and many parents breathed a sigh of relief, like those interviewed by the CBC. Like Sapphire Miller, mother of two children aged 15 months and four: “I am happy to offer my children extra protection,” she said. →
TORONTO – Trustee Vincent Iantomasi has had enough of the scurrilous conduct of woke trustees on his Board and with the seeming untruthfulness of its Secretary/Director, who is moving to St. Michael’s College School in Toronto, with the blessing of his friend the bishop of Hamilton.
TORONTO – Tragedy in Mississauga: a 4-year-old girl was hit by a train and died. The drama unfolded in the Dundas Street and Cawthra Road area on Tuesday evening.
TORONTO – The kindest thing one can say about some of The Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) Trustees is that they are preparing for election day October 24, 2022. Everything they say and do must be seen through a political lens.
TORONTO – Healing is difficult in Canada. Maybe impossible. And if the emergency rooms of hospitals are “stormed”, there will be a reason. We explain it to you in this article, what is the reason. An article in which we report the testimony of one of our readers from Toronto who lived an odyssey – not yet finished – for … a finger. →
TORONTO – Weep for Canadian journalism. Not the “private enterprise” variety whose clear mandate is driven by an unforgiving imperative to meet the monthly payroll demands and operational requirements to stay afloat and relevant to their readership. Rather, be saddened by the “faux journalism” offered by quasi-State reporting and commentary on issues that should help define who we are as a country and a society.
TORONTO – Emergency calls were not guaranteed during the Rogers “black out” two weeks ago. A very serious thing. An issue that the company, Rogers Communications Inc., is “trying to remedy” to ensure that emergency calls can always be made and that “no future disruption cancels cellular and internet services anymore”. →
Continuing with the excitement for the World Cup, we thought that the next logical step would be to take a look at group F and meet Canada’s opponents: Croatia, Belgium and Morocco, the top rated team in the past few years and full of experience, making them favorites to win the group. →
TORONTO – Seventeen-year-old Alessandro Volpe achieved a historic first for a Canadian. As reported in our online edition on Friday, he has received confirmation that he has been named to the ‘Azzurri” (Italy’s) National U18 Baseball team.
TORONTO – Alessandro Volpe, a 17 year-old Italian-Canadian baseball player, has been called up by the Italian Under 18 National Team to take part in the European Championships to be held in the Czech Republic from August 13 to the 20th. It’s a big deal.
