Postmedia owns the leading daily newspapers in most Canadian cities. They required the papers' editorial boards to endorse the Harper government in our current federal election. Given the scope of their ownership and reach, this is a remarkable perversion of the press in favor of a couple of hedge funds who own Postmedia. I built an ad (and paywall script) blocker targeted only at their properties, and plan to submit to Apple later today. Pull requests welcome.
