>CanWest said its newspapers – including the National Post, its only daily not now under protection from creditors – are looking for new owners in hopes of wiping out some of the company’s debt while keeping the newspapers in business.

Interesting point. Formerly an ex-canuck; the National Post is an anomaly in Canada; it tips to the right, unlike the America-bashing other national daily: the Globe and Mail.

The GAM tries it’s hardest to sound and look like the NYT while the National Post is better looking visually. Good thing it’s being protected because the rest of their dailies suck.
