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 – American “Manifest Destiny”– in today’s terms, unrestrained colonialism – justified the occupation of the aboriginal territory, ethnic cleansing and colonial warfare in the nineteenth century” by associating a quasi-religious ethos with the more covert, crass objective: “there’s gold in them there hills”. →
TORONTO – La campagna elettorale non è ancora finita, ma la sua prima settimana è stata tutta a favore di O’Toole. Sabato abbiamo visto un altro esempio dei venti che soffiano nelle sue vele quando il gruppo che si prepara per l’unico dibattito a cui il pubblico di lingua inglese sarà testimone ha dichiarato Maxime Bernier (nella foto sopra) non idoneo a partecipare. Nella misura in cui questi dibattiti influenzano chiunque, significa che ci sarà una sola persona “conservatrice” sul palco…
TORONTO – The election campaign is not over yet but its first week has been all in O’Toole’s favour. Saturday, we saw one more example of the winds blowing into his sails when the group preparing for the one debate the English-speaking public will witness declared Maxime Bernier not fit to participate. Insofar as these debates influence anyone, it means there will be only one “Conservative” spokesperson on stage. →
TORONTO – La campagna elettorale è appena iniziata e ci sono guai all’orizzonte. Alcune organizzazioni della campagna dovranno “semplificare le questioni”, per se stessi, così come per l’elettorato. Tanto per cominciare, tutte le squadre in lizza sembrano aver accettato il motto politico secondo cui “tutta politica è locale”. Per quanto volgare possa sembrare, il tema centrale per l’elettore è “parlami dopo che l’assegno ha superato la banca”…
TORONTO – The election campaign has only just begun and there is trouble on the horizon. Some campaign organizations will have to “uncomplicate issues “, for themselves, as well as for the electorate. To begin, all the campaign teams seem to have accepted the old political philosophy that ‘all politics is local’. As crass as it may appear, the central theme for the voter is “talk to me after the cheque clears the bank”. →
