Sunday Express (Montreal)
- Sunday Express (Montreal)
"The Sunday Express" was an English-language weekly newspaper published in Montreal.
Foundation
The paper was published by "Midnight" founder Joe Azaria, who also tried without success to turn the paper into a daily, under the name "Daily Express." That experiment lasted less than a year, as the paper was unable to compete with the then-dominant "Montreal Star" and the second place "Montreal Gazette" (now Montreal's only English daily).
