The Wall Street Journal is closing its Canada bureau, a move that will cut coverage of business issues important across Cascadia.
"This means that Canada is the only G7 nation where the Journal doesn't have a presence," the head of a union representing the paper's journalists told Editor & Publisher. "The message you send to Canada is we just don't care."
The cuts affect six staffers in Toronto, Montreal, and Calgary. Coverage will supposedly be maintained by existing Dow Jones newswire reporters in Canada and by Journal reporters in the U.S.
