Regina Sun??

Where is the Regina Sun when you need it? I'm not talking about the weekly news that comes out but the 7 day a week paper that so many other cities in Canada have access to. Why isn't Regina included? Regina does have a daily news paper called the Leader Post but it does NOT publish on Sundays nor on any holiday. The Sun publishes 364 days a year - just Christmas Day they take off. The Leader Post publishes stories that are days old and never has current sports scores unless the game is played the previous afternoon. Most NHL scores are NA even the ones out east. That is totally unacceptable. The columnists aren't very interesting or smart either. One columnist, who I won't mention, wants Saskatchewan to go to Daylight savings time - even after being told we are on Daylight savings time all year round, he doesn't care, he still wants to do it again, so we would be on double daylight savings time. This same columnist was incensed that Saskatchewan got a holiday in February. Everyone has wanted a holiday in February forever, but when it happened he didn't like it. Now I realize that he has his own opinion but we people like this writing we need something else to read and get more accurate information.

The main reason the Leader Post is still in business and can get away with lackluster news is because there is no competition in the Regina and Saskatchewan area. The Sun chain of newspapers has to launch in Regina. We need to have our on views, information and a newspaper you can read without have sections lying all over the place.

So I am asking everyone to please write the Sun Chain of newspapers at gnorrie@edmsun.com and have them forward to the person who can get this done. Thank you!

That's my point of view.
