Edmonton Journal
The ''Edmonton Journal'' is a daily newspaper in Edmonton, Alberta. It is part of the Postmedia Network. History The ''Journal'' was founded in 1903 by three local businessmen — John Macpherson, Arthur Moore and J.W. Cunningham — as a rival to Alberta's first newspaper, the 23-year-old '' Edmonton Bulletin''. Within a week, the ''Journal'' took over another newspaper, ''The Edmonton Post'', and established an editorial policy supporting the Conservative Party against the ''Bulletins stance for the Liberal Party. In 1912, the ''Journal'' was sold to the Southam family. It remained under Southam ownership until 1996, when it was acquired by Hollinger International. The ''Journal'' was subsequently sold to Canwest in 2000, and finally came under its current ownership, Postmedia Network Inc., in 2010.

Canadian Métis People
Canadians (french: Canadiens) are people identified with the country of Canada. This connection may be residential, legal, historical or cultural. For most Canadians, many (or all) of these connections exist and are collectively the source of their being ''Canadian''. Canada is a multilingual and multicultural society home to people of groups of many different ethnic, religious, and national origins, with the majority of the population made up of Old World immigrants and their descendants. Following the initial period of French and then the much larger British colonization, different waves (or peaks) of immigration and settlement of non-indigenous peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Indigenous, French, British, and more recent immigrant customs, languages, and religions have combined to form the culture of Canada, and thus a Canadian identity. Canada has also been strongly influenced by its linguistic, geographic, and eco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
