Toronto mayoral by-election, Corriere Canadese interviews Brad Bradford: “I will follow up on promises with facts”

by Mariella Policheni

Today, Corriere Canadese is publishing another interview on the contending candidates seeking election as Mayor of Toronto. 102 individuals have registered with the Elections Office at City Hall, and the Italian newspaper will not be able to give all of them the coverage they might like, so it proposes, but will not be limited to, interviewing interested candidates whom “the polls” suggest may garner at least 4% of the votes.

Bradford, interviewed by the editorial staff of Corriere Canadese, outlined his program’s priorities. (more…)

by Marzio Pelù

TORONTO – Kuné means “Together” in Esperanto, the language created by the Warsaw-based ophthalmologist Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof in 1887, who intended to create the universal language for international communication. So, what better word (and language) to name an orchestra made up of elements from every corner of the world?
