This week marks National 亚洲天堂paper Week in Canada, where today there are roughly 100 daily newspapers and more than 1,000 community newspapers.

The very first printing presses in Canada were in Halifax, Quebec City and Montreal an what is now Canada, the first official newspaper was the Halifax Gazette, whose two-page first edition hit the streets March 23, 1752.
