Another 90 dedicated journalists in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa lost their jobs Tuesday as cutthroat Publisher Paul Godfrey slashed away again in an
effort to turn Postmedia into a profit-making business.
In a bizarre move, two competing papers will continue to be separate entities, but there will be one set of editors and most journalists will be shared.

In Vancouver, the
Sun and
The Province will come under one roof. In Edmonton, the
Journal and the
Sun will come together; in Calgary, the
Calgary Herald and the
Sun; and in Ottawa,
The Ottawa Citizen and the
Sun.
This latest maneuver, in effect, reduces the four cities to print media monopolies. Even as weak as the original Postmedia and Sun papers were, they still competed with each other. Now the same editors will assign reporters from both papers.
