According to a court filing made by CanWest Global Communications, the National Post is in immediate danger of being shut down. Creditors are running out of patience with the money-losing paper and will cease underwriting its operations after October 30. A potential stay of execution may come if CanWest can successfully transfer the Post to another holding corporation, which it is currently attempting to do.

I call dibs on the National Post newspaper boxes left behind.
Ding dong, the witch is dead? :-)
(The horrifying state of media concentration in Canada aside):
And nothing of value was lost.
Hopefully Global follows on its heels.
I used to have a subscription to the Post, and I really like some of the writers. I eventually had to cancel because their editorial war against anthropogenic climate change became too aggravating.
I don't care about their looney editorial page writers; the Post's Toronto and arts coverage going away would suck, a lot. It's too easy to dismiss an entire paper for a slant a few of its writers share, and I don't think the Post deserves it.
I say this without reservation: the Toronto media landscape will be much worse off without the Post.
You could scoop up the newly unemployed talent maybe.
That would suck! Regardless of what you think of their writers, the Post uses Artwork and showcases Canadian graphic talent in way that I will sincerely miss. You can't get that anywhere else.
Except Torontoist, of course. ;-)
present company excluded.
It's the best designed newspaper and was never boring even if you disagreed with their politics.
They have some very good writers, unfortunately they were overshadowed by their moronic ones.
Yeah, I'd miss the post even though i haven't bought one in ages. They have a quality of writing no other Canadian paper has. Hopefully it works out.
And it's (temporarily) safe.
