Le Canada (newspaper)

Le Canada was a French-language daily newspaper published in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from 1903 to 1954. Founded by Senator Joseph-Philippe Baby Casgrain, it initially served as an organ for the Liberal Party of Quebec. The newspaper provided coverage of local, national, and international news, with a particular focus on politics and issues relevant to the French-Canadian community. It played a significant role in Quebec's political and social discourse during its existence, reflecting and influencing opinions on a range of topics including language rights, education, and economic development. Throughout its history, Le Canada competed with other prominent French-language newspapers in Montreal, such as La Presse and Le Devoir. Its eventual closure in 1954 reflected changing media landscapes and economic challenges within the newspaper industry. The archives of Le Canada offer valuable insights into the history and culture of Quebec during the first half of the 20th century.
