Dose R.I.P

I've only been away for a week, and Dose - the 3rd place free daily - is gone? What the heck? I love 24 Hours' headline on the article, "Toast Toast!" But you think they could have gotten somebody worth quoting in the story. Instead they have the editor of The Tyee, an online rag, David Beers.

"I think there were serious flaws in the idea," Beers told 24 hours yesterday. "I'm a believer that Canadians are very regional and more locally focused. Dose was a thinly veiled, Toronto-based national publication masquerading as a local publication."

I think i will miss most of all the crazy ads they did. Goodbye really lame newspaper. I wonder what all the kids who put it together will do now?
