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 – La storia si ripete. Come accade da qualche settimana, anche questo weekend, i pronto soccorso di numerosi ospedali dell’Ontario sono rimasti chiusi. È successo al sito di Durham del South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SBGHC), al Georgian Bay General Hospital e al Monfort Hospital di Ottawa rimasto chiuso di notte per far fronte a una “carenza senza precedenti” di infermieri…

TORONTO – History repeats itself. As has been the case for a few weeks, also this weekend, the emergency rooms of numerous hospitals in Ontario remained closed. It happened to the Durham site of the South Bruce Grey Health Centre (SBGHC), georgian Bay General Hospital and Ottawa’s Monfort Hospital that was closed at night to cope with an “unprecedented shortage” of nurses. And last week it was the turn of Perth, Listowel, Seaforth and Bowmanville, where Lakeridge Health temporarily closed its intensive care unit and relocated patients to the Ajax-Pickering and Oshawa campuses.
TORONTO – “Crisi è la parola giusta”. Ad aggiungersi al coro di medici e infermieri che lanciano l’allarme è anche il vicepresidente responsabile di Ontario Health Chris Simpson. La crescente pressione sul sistema sanitario della provincia non è frutto della fantasia ma una triste realtà anche se il governo Ford continua a negare l’evidenza minimizzando la gravità della situazione. “Sul settore dell’assistenza sanitaria grava una pressione e un peggioramento che penso, avvertiamo tutti, è tangibile – ha detto Simpson – dire che c’è una crisi è descrivere con una sola parola la situazione nei nostri ospedali”…
TORONTO – “Crisis is the right word.” Joining the chorus of doctors and nurses sounding the alarm is Ontario Health Vice President Chris Simpson. The growing pressure on the province’s health system is not the result of fantasy but a sad reality even if the Ford government continues to deny the evidence minimizing the seriousness of the situation.
