Canada leaves Kabul. Three hours later, the massacre

TORONTO – Perfect timing. At 8 am today, the head of the Canadian Armed Forces, General Wayne Eyre, announced that “Canada’s evacuation efforts in Afghanistan have ended”: Canadian personnel left Kabul “eight hours ago”. Less than three hours later, at the Kabul airport a suicide bomber (two, according to American and Russian sources) blows himself up: forty dead (including children) and dozens of wounded. Among the victims, also US Marines, as confirmed on Twitter by John Kirby from the Pentagon Press Secretary.

Just in time, one might say, despite the “push and pull” of recent days, in which on the one hand Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed that Canada would remain in Afghanistan after the date set by the Taliban with their ultimatum (“everyone out by August 31”) and on the other “his” ministers denied him by stating that the Canadian evacuation operations would be completed before the end of the month,”as the United States decided”, as underlined by the Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan in the press conference two days ago, the same one in which the Minister of Women, Maryam Monsef, called the Taliban “our brothers”.

Nick Volpe, un vero campione nella vita e nello sport

TORONTO – Sì, Nick Volpe, possa riposare in pace, era un mio parente. Quando ero studente delle superiori, mi veniva fatta spesso questa domanda. Si era da poco ritirato come Argonaut di Toronto, un autentico e celebrato campione/eroe della Grey Cup. Un ragazzo di Toronto, dove era nato e cresciuto, e un vero “esempio di classe” e “un risolutore di problemi”… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>> 

Dufferin-Caledon: italiani al centro di una nuova visione

TORONTO – Il distretto elettorale di Dufferin-Caledon si trova nel sud-ovest dell’Ontario, a nord di Brampton.

I grit puntano sulle difficoltà dell’Ndp, i giovani virano verso i conservatori

TORONTO – Ancora segnali contrastanti in queste lungo cammino che ci separa dall’appuntamento alle urne. Elementi che, come è successo dall’inizio della campagna elettorale, aggiungono incertezza a un voto già gravata dalle zone d’ombra provocate dalla pandemia di Covid-19 e dalla precaria situazione in Afghanistan.
