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 – After a year of continuous hikes, the “key” interest rate finally stops.

In any case, for now the official rate of the Canadian central bank remains at 4.5%. →
TORONTO – A new week is starting but the scenario is the same as the previous one: Canada split in two with Ontario and Quebec holding the bump of the fourth wave, while Alberta and Saskatchewan are in full emergency. →
TORONTO – The trend now seems to be the same: new daily cases between 700 and 800, the vast majority of which in unvaccinated people. Ontario recorded 715 new cases (and 6 deaths) today, with the seven-day moving average of new cases now standing at 709, down from Saturday (719) when there were 821 infections. →
