No newspaper in Canada was going to buy it for anything more than a token, if that.

I love you man, but that's bat poop crazy.

Circulation, selling a copy of the newspaper, makes up only 25% of revenue, the rest from advertising. A single story hanging for a few days is a blip and not a trend.

Just your unlucky day I'm sitting in a library armed with an I-pad staging an open house that no one is attending!!!! (Knew in advance that would happen but its an obligation)
