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 – Two suspects arrested while the hunt for two others continues. Today during a press conference at its headquarters the Toronto Police updated the residents of the city on the ongoing investigation into the growing wave of violent car thefts.

TORONTO – Firearm-related homicides have increased by 37% over the past 11 years, and guns have been the most commonly used weapon in such crimes. To detect this alarming situation, despite the fact that there are data gaps in information collection, is a report by Statistics Canada that examines the trends of armed crime in Canada between 2009 and 2020.
