Many Canadian newspapers have online versions, but only a very small number offer any important Canadian literature content. In fact, there are only three newspaper sites with mentioning: Canoe, the Toronto Globe and Mail, and the National Post.

 

Canoe

Canoe, the acronym for Canadian Online Explorer, is an online newspaper site that reproduces material from the Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, and Edmonton Suns, the London Free Press, the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, and the Saint John Telegraph Journal. The site publishes reviews of current bestsellers in fiction and nonfiction in its "Jambooks" section and offers a searchable database of online book reviews. It also has a searchable database of articles about authors.

 

Globe and Mail

The Globe and Mail offers selected book reviews from the past week. It has a searchable database of reviews published in the last seven days. It would be nice if, like the New York Times, they would put their years of accumulated reviews online.

 

National Post

The National Post offers selected reviews from its Saturday book review section. It has a search feature which "will return individual articles on a specific topic published in the past 60 days".
