Entrevista con Martha Pinzon

Being Canadian just got more dangerous

BY: Matias de Dovitiis in the Downsview Advocate

I do not want to be part of the U.S. I do not want Canada to become the 51st state. And I share that sentiment with the overwhelming majority of Canadians. There is no room for equivocation here—no middle ground.

Fighting tariffs isn’t just about trade; it’s about preserving our way of life. Canada is different. Yes, we watch the same sports and buy the same brands, but time and again, we have chosen our own path. While many Americans oppose the direction their country is taking, the reality remains: our nations are distinct, even as we maintain a long-standing friendship.

Seniors and children can now apply for dental care program

BY: Matias de Dovitiis in the Downsview Advocate

The new Canada Dental Care Plan is the biggest change to our public health care system in a generation. So far, the program has been a great success. The program came about in a deal between the NDP and the Liberal government and over 2 million people have now registered across the country, with close to half a million people already receiving dental care. Importantly, many dental care providers have signed up to the program in the area and you can start to receive care in a very short time.

Ground breaking at Elia MS

School renewal has been a top priority for me, with over a dozen significant projects completed or on the go. Elia Middle School is the latest to be completed. New running track, new playground, new play areas, new outdoor study areas and more. So happy to see our students get the opportunities they deserve.
