Who the hell does the layout for the Edmonton Sun? That is the most godawful piece of crap I think I have ever seen passed off as a newspaper; have they ever heard of fontsthatdon'trunalltheletterstogether? I seriously feel like working my ass off to become a billionare just so I can buy that paper, find the guys responsible, and have them fired, rehired, fired again, then blackballed.

Didn't even see that...I was more intrigued by the picture box as to which major star they're recruited that is playing at Klondy...I mean Cap Ex days....

It seems to be a problem when they generate the image for the website. The Calgary Sun often has the same problem, where it doesn't register the correct font, so it uses a substitute that looks like that. I'm sure if you picked up an Edmonton Sun today, it would look okay.

More likely someone didn't inbed the fonts when they converted the postscript into the .pdf document.

It's possible they already have. A lot of it is automated nowadays.

Back on topic I think this article is crap. It's not credible for sure.
THAT IS A LIE!!! I'm sorry, very very few hot girls here. I admit they have the quantity... but not the quality. Calgary has the quality but lacks the quantity.
I went to UC = pretty good! UA =

I hear Kevin Lowe might be looking for a job, soon.

WOW. I thought that was a PhotoChop but when you check the properties on the pic you see its straight from EdmontonSun.

Edmonton is a big backwater city.
