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 – For the first time in almost three months, Ontario today recorded no victims from (or with) Covid-19: the last time the province had reported “zero deaths” was last December 20. Therefore, the death toll in Ontario remains steady at 12,256 since the beginning of the pandemic, from which 489 deaths have recently been removed because they are not related to Covid-19. →
Despite the stakes and unity, Canada along with the USA, meaning NATO as a whole have made clear they have no plan to send troops into Ukraine to fight Russia. They have instead reinforced the military alliance’s presence in the Eastern Europe, in case the conflict expands beyond Ukraine.
TORONTO – Another 21 deaths today in Ontario due to Covid-19, which are added to 31 on Saturday and 42 on Friday: nearly 100 deaths in three days. Now the total number of victims in the province since the beginning of the pandemic is 10,366. →
TORONTO – Fewer cases of Covid-19 than in previous days, but the positivity rate is skyrocketing: 30.9%. A percentage never seen in Ontario. Virtually every three Covid-tests carried out, one is positive.
TORONTO – There is no more time to waste, at least more than that lost so far between hesitations and non-decisions. The provincial government announced today that the third dose of the vaccine will be open to all citizens aged 18 and over from Monday. Not only that: it will be possible to do it three months (and no longer six) from the second one. An acceleration first hoped for and then supported by the Ontario Science Table which just today returned to call for rapid measures to curb the surge in cases due, in all probability, to the Omicron variant, much more infectious than the Delta. But let’s go in order. →
