Hopefully someone archives the website before it goes offline.

Some of it is on the Wayback Machine but you’re right, somebody down at the BAnQ ought to be working on this, now.

So, 16 local newspapers gone, 30 reporters fired, and Canada Post is happy to put all the crap that used to be in the Publi-Sac right into our mailboxes. What a farce.

I wonder how all those people that were cheering for the banning of Publi-Sac feel about it now.

The demise of Méteo Média had nothing to do with the banning of publi-sac.

My local Flambeau d’Anjou paper used to come in the publi-sac. It was published by Metro Media. After the publi-sac went away, I only ever saw it during a visit to Anjou City Hall.

Yeah but buddy that ran it was skimming off the top so maybe that had more to do with it than the delivery system …or at least it’s not the only factor to this equation.
