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 – Frank D’Amico, trustee for Ward 6 at the Toronto Catholic District School Board, is the interim President of the TCDSB effective immediately; the Chair Angela Kennedy, trustee of Ward 11, is on leave to seek election in the upcoming Ontario provincial elections. →
TORONTO – The total number of deaths related to Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic in Ontario is approaching 13 thousand: today, 31 registered deaths (the highest number added to the provincial tally in more than a month), in addition to 16 just 24 hours earlier. The total is now 12,889.
A key riding in this election is Mississauga East–Cooksville. It is one that could prove to be a tough competition between the PC and the Liberals.
The constituency was created in 2003 from parts of Mississauga Centre and Mississauga East ridings. As its name suggests, the district encompasses an eastern portion of the City and includes the community of Cooksville.
TORONTO – Due to longer-than-usual queues at security, travelers about to board a plane are asked to arrive at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport at least two hours earlier than their flights.
TORONTO – Election campaign kicks off in Ontario. With the dissolution of the provincial assembly, requested today by outgoing Prime Minister Doug Ford during his meeting with Deputy Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell, the countdown has officially started in view of the appointment at the polls on June 2nd. Of course, the start set for today is a purely formal element. In fact, both the majority party – the Progressive Conservative – and the opposition forces began their election campaign as early as last month. Just think that only last week Steven Del Duca’s Liberal Party and Andra Horwath’s NDP presented the entire programmatic platform for the next provincial elections.
TORONTO – Our political cycle is quite like sports and the analogies, images and metaphors will reflect overlapping experiences. Those who seek our vote will try to make themselves relevant to our understanding of life or conjure up images that they, or more precisely, their consultants think are important – in the moment.
As the provincial election campaign gets underway, changes in the political landscape are brewing in some ridings. The outcome following the June 2 vote may turn out new leaders in some GTA districts. One area to watch is Mississauga-Lakeshore (formally Mississauga South prior to 2015).
TORONTO – The weekend has passed, the data provided by the hospitals are more complete and here are the hospitalizations: 1,699 patients registered today in Ontario, against 1,423 on Monday, when not all hospitals had yet communicated their data. →
OTTAWA – Every year, Europeans worldwide celebrate Europe Day on 9 May, in recognition of a significant moment in Europe’s history. In his 9 May 1950 address, known as the Schuman Declaration, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman called on European nations to unite in the wake of the devastation of Second World War.
TORONTO – The federal and Ontario governments are jointly investing more than $1 billion to help Stellantis reorganize its Canadian auto plants to produce electric vehicles. Canada will allocate exactly $529 million and Ontario $513 million.
Created in 2003, Mississauga–Streetsville is situated in the Regional Municipality of Peel. It encompasses the north-west portion of the City of Mississauga and includes the communities of Meadowvale and Streetsville. Mississauga–Streetsville is one of five electoral districts in Mississauga where a tough competition could develop between the PC and the Liberals.
TORONTO – Sometimes, like the Starship Enterprise of the 1970s sci-fi sitcom, a country’s official Statistics gatherer discovers data that supports or disproves long held assumptions. It is an expensive exercise, but at least it offers a “scientific” – numerical basis (justification) – for some public policy developments/responses to a country’s emerging problems.
TORONTO – Today, Ontario did not report new deaths from Covid-19 for the first time in almost a month: the last day the province had reported no fatalities was last April 4. Since then, Ontario has recorded 370 deaths. The total since the beginning of the pandemic is 12,842. →
TORONTO – The anticipation builds for an exciting campaign ahead of the 2022 Ontario general election (June 2). With less than five weeks to go before election day, candidates are hitting the campaign trail to reach out to constituents in their ridings and build support for their political party.
