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 – Le manifestazioni di protesta si susseguono l’un l’altra all’incrocio tra Keele St. e 15th Sideroad.

TORONTO – I was born in the city of Manila, Philippines, and have been a city dweller ever since. When I immigrated to Toronto in the early 70s, a relative offered me lodging in the suburbs, but I respectfully declined. At the time, I was juggling two jobs. Both were in the city.

TORONTO – Pinaganak ako at lumaki sa gitna nang lunsod nang Maynila, Pilipinas. Noon lumipat ako dito sa Kanada, may kamaganak ako na nagyaya sa akin na doon ako manirahan sa kanila sa labas nang lunsod nang Toronto. Nag pasalamat ako at tinangihan dahil alam ko na mas madaling mamuhay sa lunsod. Ito’y maging sa Pilipinas o sa ibang lugar nang mundo. Maraming kabutihan naidudlot at kaginhawahan kaysa kahirapan. Sa suidad, ang lahat ay malapit katulad nang simbahan, huspital, tindahan, paaralan at sa iyong pinapasukan trabaho. Noon bago ako sa Kanada, dalawa ang aking pinapasukan trabaho na malapit lapit sa isa’t isa. Nakakapagog, pero kaya naman kasi bata pa ako noon.
TORONTO – No more carbon tax on home heating oil for the next three years, doubling of the “rural surcharge” in the rebate program and new incentives “to help rural Canadians switch to electric heat pumps”: the new measures of the federal government were announced last Thursday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. →
TORONTO – Mentre l’emergenza abitativa tocca livelli mai visti, con la totale mancanza di case a prezzi abbordabili (sia in vendita che in affitto), viene fuori che alcune delle principali città del Canada hanno ampie aree di terreno residenziale libero. Inutilizzato. A rivelarlo è un rapporto di Statistics Canada, che analizza contestualmente anche anche l’aumento vertiginoso dei costi di costruzione nelle principali città…
