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.
OTTAWA – The countdown has begun and Ottawa is preparing for the new round of protests scheduled to begin on Canada Day. Mayor Jim Watson and interim police chief Steve Bell say security plans have been drawn up to allow for safe celebrations on Friday despite the threat of Veterans for Freedom demonstrations.
TORONTO – Chief James Ramer’s apology for Toronto Police conduct toward the black community was in the air. The blacks, after all, were waiting for them. What was a discordant note, in our opinion, is the reaction of Beverly Bain of the No Pride in Policing Coalition. “Yes, your police officers are responsible for their racism – she said – you are guilty. Chief Ramer, we don’t accept your apology.”
TORONTO – The watchword is “don’t let your guard down”. Despite the removal of trucks and protesters from the streets of Ottawa over the weekend, a large police presence still remains in the capital. “This is not a normal situation for our city – said interim police chief Steve Bell – despite the successes of recent days, we still need these measures to prevent the return of illegal protesters. We promised earlier last week that we would clear our streets and return them to our residents, we promised that we would return our city to a state of normality and we are getting closer and closer to this goal.”
TORONTO – From Ottawa to Vancouver, passing through Toronto Quebec City, Regina, Fredericton. There is no end in sight to the protests organized by the so-called “Freedom Convoy” against the vaccination obligation. But patience, in the capital, is now running out. Police Chief Peter Sloly has decided that the time has come for his officers to go “on the offensive” to end this situation. “I worked continuously 18 hours a day to be able to get the necessary resources – said Sloly – now we can go on the offensive”.
TORONTO – Alarm at the halfway house “Fred Victor Bethlehem United Shelter” in Caledonia Road, where eight crews of the Toronto Police, three ambulances and a vehicle of the firefighters were brought a few minutes ago. According to what has been learned, inside the structure – which houses homeless people, people in discomfort and former prisoners – there would have been a dispute that ended badly. As of this writing, on-site investigations are ongoing.
