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.
Senator Loffreda writes about Canada’s housing affordability crisis and shares some of the recommendations from a report that the Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy recently published on the matter.

Le sénateur Loffreda écrit sur la crise de l’abordabilité du logement au Canada et partage certaines des recommandations d’un rapport que le Comité sénatorial des banques, du commerce et de l’économie a récemment publié sur la question.
« Les gens qui vivent sans logement ne sont pas sans abri en raison de leurs origines, de problèmes de santé mentale ou de toxicomanie, ou parce qu’elles vivent dans la pauvreté. Ils le sont parce qu’il n’y a pas assez de logements abordables dans leur collectivité ».

TORONTO – Fra gli obiettivi del governo federale per il futuro, ce n’è uno che sembra irraggiungibile: entro il 2035, tutte le nuove auto dovranno rispondere al requisito “emissioni zero”, cioè essere elettriche. Lo ha annunciato, l’altro ieri, il ministro dell’Ambiente, Stephen Guilbeault, glissando su un particolare non irrilevante: in Canada non ci sono sufficienti stazioni di “ricarica”, necessarie per far viaggiare queste macchine…
