OTTAWA – NDP tries to stand up and to be counted: this seems to be the goal of the initiative by Jagmeet Singh, leader of the NDP, who sent all members an e-mail asking for support on a sort of “ultimatum” to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: pharmacare by March 1st or everyone at home. Technical evidence of a crisis, in short, with Singh who, despite attacking Trudeau on a daily basis, continues to keep the Liberal minority government alive with the votes of the NDP, keeping his feet in two shoes: majority and opposition. →
TORONTO – Usually, when a famous person visits a company, a restaurant, a bar, there is a positive image boost for that business: photos hung on the walls to immortalize the event, posts on social networks to receive “likes” and enthusiastic comments.

TORONTO – The highly touted exhibition of the magnum opus of Giotto, the earliest of the Renaissance painters to lead a transformation in the cultural values of Italian and European societies, was a success. The opening of the event (yesterday), co-sponsored by Consul General, Luca Zelioli, and Veronica Manson, Director of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, almost did not take place. It would have been unfortunate, and we would have been the less for it. The Westcoast weather conditions besetting the State of California nearly caused the cancellation of the air flights transporting highly sensitive, innovative technology on which the Show is dependent. But Giovanna Panebianco, member of “Hidonix”, persevered and managed to load the exhibit on a flight in time to afford us a first look at the the world of Giotto.

OTTAWA – After months of denials, evidence has emerged in recent days that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (or at least his office) had also invited Yaroslav Hunka to an official federal government event: not just any Ukrainian-Canadian veteran, but Yaroslav Hunka, the 98-year-old who served in the Nazi SS as a young man and who was guest of honor in the House of Commons during the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last September, received a standing ovation. →
