In North Saanich the Globe Saturday edition has been anything but reliable. The Globe was either late or not at all in November and December No delivery during January at all, not even after calling to report it. This morning February 21 they dropped off a copy of the Vancouver Sun........I don't take the Sun! The media is very quick to jump all over other industries for poor service what's their excuse.

BCE owns a minority part of it, along with the Woodbridge Corp (The Thompson family) and the Thomson Corporation still has their fingers into it IIRC. It's all held somewhat indirectly through CTV Globemedia.

Good thing they have an instant KK for all subscribers and will bring you one out that day.
These sorts of things happen when the local carrier has a problem. It only happens in limited pockets (one or two delivery areas around the country) but it can take a few weeks to fix if there's a pattern.

Talk about dredging up old threads...but applaud the poster on his persistence and use of the search. My biggest complaint about the G&M these days is the rationed number of papers being delivered to certain MLLs of late. Don't know if this is AC's cutback or the Globe's, but I've been to YVR Domestic on a number of recent occasions where there are no Globes left by noon, same for YYC and YEG. Was told YYC only gets 20 copies.

This has been driving me nuts as well! Last week both YYZ and YYC were out of them.. I asked about it at YYC and htey had some stashed in the back room so they could ration them throughout the day. The lady working there was telling me all of a sudden the shipments got a lot smaller but that they were supposed to start getting more again in March.
