Canada Free Press

"Canada Free Press" is a Canadian website, which publishes conservative news stories, features, and editorials. It is published in Toronto.

Origins of Canada Free Press

"Canada Free Press" was established in 2003. Judi McLeod has edited the website since its inception. Arthur Weinreb is the current associate editor.

Canada Free Press has over 100 writers and columnists from around the world. Including, David Dastych, Hamid Mir, Alan Caruba, Henry lamb, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, Cliff Kincaid

In 2005, the "Free Press" was engaged in a war of words with Ezra Levant's "Western Standard" over Rachel Marsden's suitability as a conservative commentator. The CFP was forced to apologize for casting doubt on "Western Standard" writer Kevin Steel's integrity and implying that he had plagiarized "Toronto Star" writer Antonia Zerbisias. [ [http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/correction.htm "Correction"] ] Zerbisias herself has accused the CFP of plagiarizing an Associated Press story. [ [http://thestar.blogs.com/azerb/2006/01/canada_free_pre.html "Cogita ante salis"] [http://www.canadafreepress.com/2006/cover010406.htm "Tragically hip in Sweden"] [http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10653030/ "Satanic logo not hurting sales of Swedish jeans] ]

Criticism

"Canada Free Press" and Garth Pritchard apologized in 2005 to David Pugliese and CanWest Global Media Works Publications Inc. for allegedly defaming them in an article written by Pritchard entitled "Bedroom Slipper Journalism". Pritchard had falsely accused Pugliese of not having any hands-on experience and lacking credibility. In fact, Pugliese has reported from active war/conflict zones as well as peacekeeping operations.
