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.

The electoral district of Guelph (formerly Guelph-Wellington), located in southwestern Ontario, consists primarily the City of Guelph. Traditionally a Liberal stronghold, Lloyd Longfield, the current MP, is seeking re-election for the Liberals.
