Corriere Canadese ("The Canadian Courier") is anItalian-language dailynewspaper published inToronto, Ontario, Canada. The publication is distributed exclusively inOntario andQuebec, primarily throughout theGreater Toronto and theGreater Montreal areas.[1]
Corriere Canadese was founded on 2 June 1954 (Republic Day)[2] byDan Iannuzzi, and since 2001 was owned by Multimedia Nova Corporation and published by Italmedia. In 1995, it launchedTandem, an English-language, weekend edition ofCorriere Canadese targeting children of Italian immigrants.[1]
The newspaper suspended publication in May 2013[3] blaming a 2010 cut in subsidies by the Italian government for its financial difficulty. In July, M.T.E.C. Consultants, a group of Italo-Canadian entrepreneurs, acquired the assets of Corriere Canadese and Tandem.[4] The former federal ministerJoe Volpe is the new publisher, Francesco Veronesi the neweditor in chief.
Corriere published a series of 28 articles by Volpe between October 17, 2020, and January 8, 2021, attacking theToronto Catholic District School Board and the LGBT YouthLine program, according to theOntario Superior Court inVolpe v. Wong-Tam, 3106 (ONSC 2022). The program was removed from the TCDSB website, then reinstated shortly after. Volpe and M.T.E.C. brought a $30 million lawsuit against city councilorsKristyn Wong-Tam andPaul Ainslie, as well as four TCDSB trustees who supported YouthLine, and reporter Elizabeth di Filippo who noted his "well documented anti-LGBTQ+ views."[5] The lawsuit was dismissed as aSLAPP. Volpe and M.T.E.C. were ordered to pay the defendants' legal costs.
