When I was traveling through I was impressed by the quality of the newspapers in Canada. Good articles, treating topics with respect and in depth. On the other hand, many, many of the smaller towns don't seem to have a newspaper at all, and it's difficult to find a newspaper from the big cities. Why is that?

By the way, someone is missing a good bet in our public terminals, whether train, plane, bus or ferry. A room or an area set up for internet service would do a brisk business. Twice I found stand-alone internet computers in a train station- both times, they had not been serviced or monitored. Two dollars a pop to find this out is offputting.
