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 – Uno degli artefici del pasticcio che Toronto è diventata, il consigliere John Filion (nella foto sopra, dal suo profilo Twitter), ha annunciato giovedì ad un giornale locale il suo ritiro dalla politica cittadina.

TORONTO – One of the architects of the Mess that Toronto has become, Councillor John Filion (in the pic, from his Twitter profile), announced his retirement from city politics to a local newspaper on Thursday. Good. Don’t hold your breath. The Willowdale area Councillor has done this before.
TORONTO – The Honourable Joe Comuzzi (in the pic above), my friend of thirty-three years from 1988 (when we were both elected to serve in Canada’s Parliament), passed away on New Year’s Eve. For twenty years, until he retired in 2008, he also served as my self-described “older brother”. We were not related. Luckily, I did not protest too vigorously.
