The National Post is a large Canadian English language national newspaper based in Toronto.
The Post was founded in 1998 by Conrad Black to combat what he saw as an over-liberalizing of
editorial policy in Canadian newspapers.
From the beginning the Post has been staunchly conservative, and has an
editorial page featuring the writings many prominent neo-conservatives and libertarians from the US and
Canada. The paper has been a moderate success, but has been losing the circulation and profit battle to the Globe and Mail.
In 2001 the paper was sold to Canwest Global Communications, run by Israel Asper
until his death in 2003. Canwest Global and the Post are now managed by Asper's sons.
