No more U.S. newspaper bureaus in Canada

Great article about a sad topic. Now no major newspaper will have a reporter stationed in Canada. The Washington Post was the last major newspaper with a reporter (Doug Struck).

The article makes a great point that the States could learn a lot simply by seeing how Canada deals with the problems of the world. It is an American trait to think we do things the best way and we couldn't learn from anyone else.

Well, Canada deals with the same issues, they are in North America, and most of them speak English.

The Associated Press still "maintains a full-time bureau." But Canada is a large country to cover under those circumstances.

The New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and other major newspapers have reporters across the world: London, Paris, Moscow, the Middle East and more. But they can't be bothered to have one reporter in Toronto or Vancouver.

Well, we may not be a fancy bureau, but we will continue to write about Canada here at the Canadian Corner.
