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.

I had to interrupt; he seemed super-charged and ready to extoll the benefits and virtues of his native Calabrian town…
TORONTO – “È un luogo di destinazione per qualsiasi tipo di eventi: dagli affari alle conferenze accademiche, dal turismo tradizionale, ai festival artistici, ai matrimoni, ai buongustai alla ricerca di quell’esperienza culinaria prodotta dai maestri chef (le nostre nonne) che creano la loro magia con ingredienti che solo i prodotti agricoli biologici, tipici del nostro territorio, possono offrire…” così ha introdotto l’esperienza tropeana il suo entusiasta Primo Cittadino, Giovanni Macrì, alla redazione del Corriere. Ho dovuto interrompere; sembrava carichissimo e pronto a decantare i benefici e le virtù della sua nativa cittadina calabrese all’infinito…
TORONTO – Guardate l’immagine qui sopra e chiedetevi se questa riunione del consiglio scolastico è motivo di ridere o di piangere…
TORONTO – A Look at the picture below and ask yourself whether this school board meeting is a cause to laugh or to cry. Trustee Jennifer Wigston, elected by the cerebral elite among Catholic ratepayers in Woodbridge, Wards 3 and 4, manifests her interest in the “affairs concerning Catholic education” (sarcasm intended).
