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.
TORONTO – Poverty affects more than one in five children in the thirty-nine richest countries in the OECD-EU area.

Worse still is Italy, which is in 33rd place. →

We publish an update from the Honorable Tony Loffreda (in the pic above), independent Canadian senator, about the employee ownership trust (EOT) regime.
Canada will soon have an employee ownership trust (EOT) regime. We knew this was coming as the Federal Government had first articulated its intention to engage with stakeholders to examine what barriers exist to the creation of these trusts in Budget 2021.
TORONTO – “Boeing” is the company chosen by the Canadian federal government to replace the army’s old patrol planes, through a new multi-billion dollar agreement: after approval by the government (last week), the Treasury Board held a meeting Tuesday, authorizing the purchase of 16 P-8A Poseidon surveillance planes to replace the “aging” CP-140 “Aurora.” The Procurement Department also stated that this particular ‘Boeing’ model is the only aircraft currently available that meets the needs of the Royal Canadian Air Force, particularly with regards to submarine hunting technology. →
TORONTO – One hundred million dollars($100,000,000) sounds like a lot of money, so one “should not look a gift horse in the mouth”. Unless, that gift horse was yours initially and is now being returned in pieces. Before anyone comes across as ungrateful, lets acknowledge [minor] victories for the side, when they occur.
