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 – Il giorno delle elezioni – l’ultimo – sembra già così lontano. È stata una distrazione momentanea dalla nostra vita quotidiana, uno schema che è arrivato a definirci come canadesi. Ci piace essere lasciati soli a perseguire qualsiasi cosa e qualsiasi interruzione è semplicemente questo, una breve pausa che dura non più dei 15 minuti necessari per mettere una x accanto al nome di qualcuno…
TORONTO – Tanti sconfitti, un unico vincitore che, paradossalmente, non riesce nemmeno a farsi eleggere e resta fuori dal parlamento. Sono questi i dati principali che emergono dalla consultazione elettorale di lunedì.
