The Guardian – Daily Newspaper in Prince Edward Island
The Guardian wasn’t always called the Guardian. In the 1870’s when the paper was started, the man who founded it was a Presbyterian, so for many years it was called the Presbyterian. Later, the named was changed to The Protestant Union. Around 1887 the paper was given the name Prince Edward Islanders know today. In 1923, the plant where the papers were typed and manufactured was burned down, and for awhile the workers had to work in another paper’s plant. In 2002 the paper was bought by its current owners.
Although there are many weekly papers in Prince Edward Island such as the Patriot, the Examiner and the Herald, the Guardian remains the only paper that is daily – the others are weekly and one (I think) is monthly.

“Today’s Guardian, like the ones of old, still carries plenty of news about politics but coverage is non-partisan, unlike the old days. From 1912 into the 1950s it was unabashedly Conservative in its political leaning, as opposed to its rival the Patriot, which was the Liberal paper of record.”1

Complaint by the Conservatives about Liberal Flyers.
I am somewhat surprised that the Conservatives would complain about Liberal Flyers, which they claim were mailed after the election was called at the taxpayers expense.
I got flyers from the Conservatives as late as last week. The following are are few samples.
Ted Menzies Alberta
Brian Fitzpatrick Saskatchewan
Ted Menzies Alberta
Gordon O'Connor Ontario
Diane Ablonczy Alberta
