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 – L’idillio Canada-immigrati è finito. Lo dicono i numeri. L’Institute for Canadian Citizenship afferma infatti che i dati di Statistics Canada indicano un calo del 30% nell’adozione della cittadinanza dal 2001. Vediamo in che misura: nel 2021, solo il 45,7% dei residenti permanenti che risiedevano in Canada da meno di dieci anni è diventato cittadino. Un crollo, rispetto al 60% del 2016 ed al 75,1% del 2001… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

TORONTO – Il conto alla rovescia per il voto del prossimo giugno è già partito. A dare il via alla “campagna elettorale non ufficiale” è stato ieri il Discorso dal Trono tenuto a Queen’s Park dalla vice governatrice Elizabeth Dowdeswell, con il quale l’esecutivo guidato da Doug Ford ha tracciato un bilancio complessivo della lotta al Covid-19 negli ultimi 18 mesi e, allo stesso tempo, ha illustrato le priorità per la provincia in questi ultimi otto mesi di legislatura prima dell’appuntamento alle urne. Il premier, nel discorso letto dalla rappresentante della Regina, ha difeso con forza l’azione di governo, di fronte a una crisi sanitaria senza precedenti che ha investito tutta la provincia: il prossimo voto si trasformerà proprio in un referendum sull’operato dell’esecutivo durante la pandemia… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>
