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 – The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) – which represents education workers – is asking the Ontario government for a significant increase: $ 3.25 an hour more, or 11,7 percent. The Canadian Union of Public Employees proposed it today: the contracts expire end of August. →
Continuing with the Opposition that Canada will face in group F, Croatia is the next big team to take note of. →
TORONTO – We are only 16 days away from knowing who will be on our ballot as we choose our city councillors and school trustees. Registrations close August 19. We at the Corriere will do our best to inform our readership regarding candidates and their platforms, if they have one.
MONTREAL – The sos launched in Montreal during the 24th International AIDS Summit 2022 did not fall on deaf ears: Federal Minister of Health, Jean-Yves Duclos, said the government will invest $ 17.9 million to increase the access to HIV testing in remote communities and among hard-to-reach populations. But activists involved in the fight against AIDS say the announcement “must be followed by more actions”. →
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 – 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”. →
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.
