Passaporto vaccinale, lo scontro è servito

TORONTO – Il passaporto vaccinale, è senza ombra di dubbio, il pomo della discordia. Premier a favore e premier contrari stanno dando vita a uno scontro a colpi di parole mentre i contagi tornano a salire un po’ dappertutto. Ieri in Ontario i nuovi casi sono stati 423, il numero più alto dal 14 giugno. E con i contagi salgono i ricoveri in ospedale e nelle terapie intensive… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>> 

Il giudice attivista LGBT Corbett potrebbe salvare Lecce dai suoi pasticci

TORONTO – Lecce potrebbe ancora riuscire nel suo piano di eliminare il sistema delle Scuole Cattoliche. Non sembra disposto “a preoccuparsi dei sentimenti degli altri”. Preso nel mezzo di un caso legale carico di questioni costituzionali (diritti provinciali, libertà religiosa, diritti dei cattolici romani e [potenziale] abuso d’ufficio da parte di un ministro) tra il fiduciario Del Grande (nella foto) e il Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), il suo Ministero ha fatto il “Gioco del Calendario” sperando nella disponibilità successiva di un giudice “favorevole”… Read More in Corriere Canadese >>> 

Vaccination passport, the clash is served

The vaccination passport, is without a shadow of a doubt, the bone of contention. Premiers in favor and premiers against are giving life to a clash with blows of words while the infections return to rise a little everywhere.

A a graduating university student, i remember him as a small-town lawyer deeply steeped in the ultra-conservative politics of an Ontario still very dependent on an agrarian based economy buttressed by a manufacturing-centred Toronto.

Activist LBGT judge Corbett may rescue Lecce

Caught in the middle of a legal case laden with Constitutional issues (Provincial rights, Religious freedom, Rights of Roman Catholics and the [potential] abuse of office by a Minister) between Trustee Del Grande and the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB), his Ministry played the “Calendar Game” hoping for the next availability of a “ favourable” judge.  Continue reading
