The site is more than a search engine. Get news at the News Cafe and TV listings at the TV Times (just type in your postal code); no more need to buy the local newspaper to get the TV guide. On the down side, the home page takes a long time to load; consequently, the search engine isn't really useful. Furthermore, the home page does not give either the temperature or the weather in either PEI or NB. Believe it or not, CNN's weather service is better. Likewise, you can't read the top stories in newspapers from either NB or PEI. "Development and management of canada.com is through Southam Inc., a leading Canadian information company with interests in daily and community newspapers," which is probably the explanation of its poor coverage of PEI and NB.
"The Packet serves the town of Clarenville and 56 other communities within its Bonavista Bay market area. Published every Monday, and reaching 88% of the direct market households, The Packet has an average circulation of 7,658 copies per issue." My maternal grandmother was the correspondent in Port Blandford for many years.

""...There is a deed at Yorktown dated August 19, 1749, which shows that Parks had as partner in the printing establishment and store-house in Williamsburg, Mrs. Sarah Packe, widow of Capt. Graves Packe; tht when the small-pox occurred in Williamsburg, Parks had established a store-house at Hanover Courthouse; and the object of the deed was to provide for a settlement of accounts between him and Mrs. Packe."
"While not the first printer in Maryland (as Isiah Thomas calls him in the History of Printing in America), William Parks did start the first newspaper in two different colonies, Maryland and Virginia. Parks printed and bound books in Annapolis from 1726 until 1737. Shortly after arriving in Annapolis, Parks set up an office in Williamsburg and maintained offices in two provinces for nearly a decade. It is through his Virginia office, which has been restored by Historic Williamsburg, that he is best known today."
"During the colonial period, Williamsburg was home to at least twelve master printers. Best known was William Parks, an energetic businessman, who came to Williamsburg about 1730 and eventually opened a shop on Duke of Gloucester Street. He was the public printer of Virginia, charged with the job of reproducing the acts of the General Assembly. He also did a lot of work for businesses. In 1736, Parks founded the Virginia Gazette, the first newspaper in the colony, and promised to deliver the “freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestick.”
Sarah Packe allegedly was my 7x great-grandmother.
