"What happened to the National Post?"

- a Liberal paper is a Liberal paper.

"National Post – of 1,735 randomly selected residents of Canada aged 18 or older." from where? Ontario, BC , Quebec?

Obama, would not make it in Alberta. The Conservative Provincial government, which is headed by a Liberal, barely made it in the last election.

Ignore stupid polls, in the USA or elsewhere, they are intended only to suppress voter turnout.

What happened to the National Post?

I am a National Post reader. Probably you know the answer, but yours is a good question.

Conrad Black started the Post about 16 or so years ago. It was to provide an alternative to the likes of the Toronto Star. Strongly liberal, the Star caters to minorities,women, the poor etc.

Black ran into trouble himself financially (as we all know). One Israel Asper took the newspaper over. "Issy" Asper was a devout liberal. Pious statements were made about non interference with the editorial content etc. Staff left quickly including Ms Blatchford a real journalist.

A bit of a long haul by me and is only my opinion. Some very solid conservative contributions still within the paper..... but a sort of mix that seems to court weak conservatives who are torn by "social conscience". Mark Steyn was an early casualty. Paper sells for two dollars at the local corner store. $3:50 is the weekend edition I go down to the public library to read that copy.
