So, we still have not received our copy of the Canadian Champion. Tried emailing them, but haven't heard back. Anyone else have this problem with the paper?

No but you can have mine. It just gets tossed in the recycling bin immediately anyways.

The only good thing that comes out of the champion is the elastic band holding that trash together.

It's possible that your carrier quit. If that's the case you won't get one until they can find another carrier to take the route.

do you expect the papers just for the flyers? Or do you actually read the paper? If it's just for the flyers for the weekly deals, you can go here for all your flyer needs http://flyers.smartcanucks.ca/

We like receiving our weekly Champion and flyers. We have a reliable carrier who delivers our paper in a plastic bag on Thursday morning.

On a related note: what happened to kids with a paper routes? Does that still happen or has it been killed in the age of helicopter parent? My street is 2-3 40+ year old dudes working as a team, who show up at 10-11pm and walk across everyones lawn launching papers on peoples porches.

This is interesting. My son delivers the paper, and recently it rarely have arrived before noon on Thursday, and quite a few times it got delivered late in the evening. Your carrier must have some good connections, truck driver-wise :)

Nope, my kid it doing it, earning some money for the bloody Pokemon card manufacturers.

Ours is an older gentleman, 40+. He does a large area, with the back door of his van always open. He has never been this late before. Mostly, Thursday paper is Saturday's paper, but not sure if we even get one this week. I like to read the news, and look through the flyers. Been shopping more in Mississauga, since I can get those flyers at work. Sorry Milton Businesses!

The Champion and the people who pay to put the flyers in the Champion want you to get your paper on Thursday or at the latest on Friday morning and they pay the delivery person to do that. You may want to phone the Champion, give them your street ( not your address ) and presto bammo, they will fix your late delivery problem. Your neighbours will appreciate your efforts.

Just got my Thursday Champion somewhere between Saturday at 11pm and Sunday at 9am.

Half-assed reporting, half-assed writing, half-assed delivery. Makes sense.

I've emailed 3 times and phoned 2x, and still no contact with them. Halton Home Inspector, do you have a contact there, as I think that the one I have is ignoring me?

We rarely ever get the Champion on time anymore. And for us "on time" was usually Friday afternoon. Recently it has been coming Saturday or Sunday. If it rains the paper usually shows up a day later. We received the Black Friday edition of the Champion on Sunday and we still haven't received the December 1 paper. Meanwhile out in Campbellville I see the papers at the ends of the driveways like clockwork every Friday morning.

Sorry, I have not needed to contact the Champion for a long time.
