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.

These early elections, provoked and strongly desired by the outgoing prime minister, could ultimately turn out to be a gamble with a very high bill. However, we must take a step back and try to analyze the reasons that led Justin Trudeau to play the voting card at a time when the vast majority of Canadians are struggling with many other problems than the political skirmishes, accusations and poisons that will inevitably accompany us throughout the election campaign. The starting point is the results of the two-year vote, which gave the Liberal leader a narrow majority relative to the House of Commons. →
Ito ang makikita sa Times Square ngayon: New York Now. Nung nakaraang taon, matumal ang ang mga taong nagtitipontipon sa Times Square dahil sa pandemya: New York A Year Ago. Pero ngayon, bumabalik na ang sigla sa lugar na ito. →
This is the view of Times Square right now: New York Now. This is what it was over a year ago, at the height of lockdown: New York A Year Ago.
