Farm papers win battle over postal rates change
Allan Laughland of the Western Producer says weekly farm newspapers appear to have secured lower postal rates. Canada Post and the federal Department of Communications reportedly reached a policy keeping weeklies at about seven to ten cents per issue, despite earlier potential increases. Canada Post will offer commercial contracts at the same low rate, though some titles like Western Producer, Manitoba Cooperator, Ontario Farmer, and La Terre De Chez Nous may not qualify for subsidies. The talks continue with a final decision expected after March 1.
