Dose is/was a free publication handed out in various cities across Canada. However, it's been axed.

Trees everywhere rejoice

I won't miss it either. I was never in support of so many free daily newspapers.

That took longer then I thought it would.

I don't think I'd seen it, but getting rid of more Canwest junk is always a-ok by me.

I hate their commercials

Dose! Dose! Dose!

Die, crap newspapers, die! (And that includes the Straight, the Sun and the Province, in my opinion.)

Dose served up eye-catching front pages, one of which has a Best Cover nomination at the upcoming National Magazine Awards.

What? Are they effing kidding me? Many looked like they'd been hand drawn with crayons and their second edition spelled government wrong (no first n) on the FRONT PAGE in big, block letters.

I am very happy to see it go since it was a crap read you could get through in, like two minutes, which, given the readership targets of most papers these days, seems to be the point. But still. Newspapers are great because they do stuff that five second TV bites and radio clips can't do. Mainly? Explain shit.

I do feel bad for all the young pups who lost their jobs.

24 hours ran a short article about Dose's demise, titled "Toast Toast Toast"
