Alberta, duemila casi in un giorno. I medici: “Ci vuole l’esercito”

EDMONTON – Numeri che fanno paura. L’Alberta, che fino a pochi giorni fa era “stay open for good”, venerdì ha registrato 2.020 nuovi casi di Covid-19 (su un totale di 17.000 test effettuati).

Per fare un paragone: ieri l’Italia, che di abitanti ne ha oltre 60 milioni, ha registrato 3.838 nuovi casi (su un totale di 263.571 tamponi analizzati). Lo stesso tasso di positività dell’Alberta non lascia spazio a dubbi: 11,7 per cento… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>>

TCDSB, who defends the rights of Catholics?

TORONTO – The Canadian Confederation, as a form of government, has a unique feature in its Constitution, or “corporate by-laws”. Under section 93, it ascribes to the provinces the sole jurisdiction for education. Within that section, it provides further exclusive “denominational rights” to certain citizens as a protection against the tyranny of the majority in a democratic society.  Continue reading→

Elections 2021: the countdown is over

TORONTO – At the end of an election campaign full of accusations, poisons and controversy, the countdown is over. Tomorrow Canadians will go to the polls to choose their 338 representatives in the 44th legislature and, indirectly, to indicate the new prime minister. Today the leaders of the main parties held the last electoral rallies, launching the last appeal to the still undecided voters who, ultimately, could shift the final balance and therefore the outcome of the votes. Justin Trudeau spoke in Montreal in the morning, while throughout the day he was engaged in a long series of virtual events.  Continue reading→

Alberta, two thousand cases in one day. The doctors: “Immediate military aid”

Ang Umaakyat na Presyo ng mga Pagkain nitong Pandemya

TORONTO – Isang kaibigan ko ang pumuna ng presyo ng Big Mac, na pag kumakain ka nito parati, di mo mapupuna ang presyo pero kung ikaw ay yung taong tulad ko na paminsan minsan lang kumain ng Big Mac, malamang magulat ka sa babayaran mo. Nitong nakaraang mahigit na isang taon, hindi ako kumain ng Big Mac hanggang ilang araw na nakalipas nang bumili ako ng dalawang Big Mac meals at nagulat ako sa binayaran ko – mahigit $23! Sabi ng kaibigan ko, mas makakatipid ka kung may coupon ka, konti sa kalahati ang babayaran mo. Ang sa akin naman ay gaano kadalas nagbibigay ng coupon para sa Big Mac.  Continue reading→
