  • POST-SUN MERGER APPROVED Posted on April 2, 2015
    STOP THE PRESSES: POST-SUN MERGER APPROVED Posted on April 2, 2015 Categories: Insights, Publications On March 25, 2015, after a five month review, the Competition Bureau cleared the purchase by Postmedia of Sun Media's English language assets. Postmedia publishes the National Post as well as local daily papers in towns and cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Montreal. Sun Media's principal English language assets are its online Canoe network as well paid circulation daily newspapers in towns and cities in Canada including Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary, Toronto, Edmonton and London. As a result of the merger, there will be only one owner of daily paid circulation newspapers in a number of Canadian cities including Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Historically the Competition Bureau has been quite concerned about mergers in the newspaper business – taking the Southam case to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1997.[1] It has also historically taken the view that different types of media (print, online, broadcast, etc.) are not particularly close substitutes for one another. However, times change. In its background release with respect to the merger the Bureau noted a number of factors which lead to its decision not to challenge the transaction, including: 1. A lack of close rivalry between Postmedia's broadsheet newspaper and Sun Media's tabloid newspapers, including their different editorial focus. 2. Competition from free local daily newspapers. 3. The increasing competitive pressures from digital alternatives in an evolving media marketplace. 4. The ongoing incentive for the merged company to obtain readership and maintain editorial quality in order to continue to attract advertisers to its newspapers.

But journalists on the picket line are fuming over what they say is the loss of their paper's integrity The real reason Herald staff are hitting the bricks At the bargaining table, the talk may be about money and seniority. But journalists on the picket line are fuming over what they say is the loss of their paper's integrity Tuesday, November 16, 1999 IN CALGARY -- When Dan Gaynor leaves work, he has to drive his white Jeep Cherokee past angry reporters. Rather than look at the striking employees, the publisher of The Calgary Herald tends to stare straight ahead. This is nothing new, many of the striking journalists say. They believe Mr. Gaynor's newspaper has been looking in only one direction for years. More than 200 newsroom and distribution workers at the Herald have been on strike since last Monday. They are trying to win their first union contract and, officially, they are at odds with their employer over such issues as wages and seniority rights. But ask the news hounds why they are on strike and the issues on the bargaining table never come up. Instead, they say they are angry because the Herald shapes the news, sometimes to favour a certain person or a certain point of view.

Doucet, Ph.D. March 2004 Vol. 5, No. 1 Ontario Universities, the Double Cohort, and the Maclean’s Rankings: The Legacy of the Harris/Eves Years, 1995-2003 Executive Summary The legacy of the Harris/Eves governments from 1995-2003 was to leave Ontario’s system of public universities tenth and last in Canada on many critical measures of quality, opportunity and accessibility. If comparisons are extended to American public universities, Ontario looks even worse. The impact of this legacy has been reflected in the Maclean’s magazine rankings of Canadian universities, which have shown Ontario universities, with a few notable exceptions, dropping in relation to their peers in the rest of the country. Elected in 1995 on a platform based on provincial income tax cuts of 30 per cent and a reduction in the role of government, the Progressive Conservative government of Premier Mike Harris set out quickly to alter the structure of both government and government services. Most government departments were ordered to produce smaller budgets, and the Ministry of Education and Training was no exception. Universities were among the hardest hit of Ontario’s transfer-payment agencies, with budgets cut by $329.1 million between 1995 and 1998, for a cumulative impact of $2.3 billion by 2003.
