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.

[GTranslate]ROME – Seven years ago, Matteo Renzi threw him out and his “Enrico, stay calm”, addressed to the premier who was ‘scrapped’ and replaced by the current leader of Italia Viva, remained famous. Today, Enrico Letta (in the pic, with Matteo Renzi in 2014) takes revenge: with 860 yes, 2 no and 4 abstentions, he is new secretary of the Democratic Party. →
