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.

Do you feel slow, tired and overweight because with this pandemic you don’t do much exercise and you don’t stop eating the delicious dishes that your grandmother prepares for you? The same thing happens to him… or happened to Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the great Dominican-Canadian player for the Blue Jays. →
TORONTO – Whenever I attend (virtually or in-person) meetings of the Toronto Catholic District School Board, I picture myself in the audience of a performance of Moliere’s comedic production, Tartufe. It is not a compliment.
This is to say: it is difficult to take these people seriously. Tartufe, the character and the play, have become synonymous with hypocrisy, duplicity, pious fraud and treachery. →
TRAPANI – Olesya is not Denise. The hope of having found the missing girl from Mazara Del Vallo (Trapani, Italy) on 1 September 2004 lasted a few days. →
