i for one appreciate that they dont publish on christmas and easter....some things should remain sacred.

the free press does have a business section.

we all know you dont like it because it doesnt spew right wing propoganda...the sun promotes pot hole politics....the last 4 pages of every edition are dozens of ads for 1-900 numbers and escort services....

the sun is for simple minds.....their articles and editorials are shallow and simplistic.

dont get me started on your national post which cant buy a market share to save its life...it is single handedly destroying canwest as they try to ram right wing crap down the throats of a left wing country.....read it now because it wont be around for long.
Please enjoy your Toronto Star and your Free Press... I look down on them both... but then again I am a capitaist. I live the business world on a dialy basis .. and experience it first hand.

The Free Press does not have a business section.. its more like a business page or two. Please .. a section is not the last page and a half of section C which has the headline of Gardens or Classifieds or anything else.

I don't really consider reporting on the business news as right wing propaganda, but I am sure you are extremely threatened to read about Agricore United and the Sask Wheat Pool ... (not exactly Nazi material). Soooo scarey!!

Its so funny how threatened socialists are about the business world.

The National Post is actually an inexpensive paper to produce, as many of the reports are from the multitude of dailies from across the nation. This is the strong advantage CanWest Media has over its competitors. The reports are part of a media network. The Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary papers pretty well cover all the major news .. and they are suplimented with national news and other local news outside the major centres, which is then picked up by the local dailies as they see fit. I work in a large corporate office and the National Post is the most read. Perhpas it is directed to the business savey .. I agree its probibly not suited to the masses, but it does have the most informed business coverage in the nation. Probably expains the Bentley and Omega ads as opposed to discount stores.

Then again I was a subcriber when it was known as the Financial Post. You would have been scared out of your pants ... charts and graphs everywhere.... oh and the numbers .. very scarey propaganda.
