Always hate how in many areas SUN is pretty much seen as a competitor to the bigger newspaper publications despite them being two of the same going back to the newspaper box days.

Makes me miss Metro and the Star Metro after that.

I'm glad that the other daily in Winnipeg is Canadian owned and independent .

And is considered more trustworthy.

And has a bigger circulation.

I know in Edmonton, at least, the Sun and the Edmonton Journal had their newsrooms merged. They're framed as alternatives, but the Sun has taken over the 'mainstream' option in places.

Funny you mention that. I'm down in Calgary now, but I was specifically thinking of how Millbourne Mall and other places would have the two publications next to one another with the newspaper boxes.

Think I remember hearing about that merge a while back, though that could be deja vu or whatnot as well. Was more than a few years ago now no?

Yeah, it happened quite some time ago now. I think the newsroom merger happened with the Calgary Herald and Calgary Sun, too, but I don't know for sure, so didn't mention it.
