Observer's Weekly

The Observer's Weekly was originally modelled after the news magazine Time(40) but changed to tabloid size in 1935. It was at first so positive toward the newly instituted Commission Government that some people imagined it to be a government publication (Jan. 5, 1943). By 1937, it had adopted a more critical attitude. It was purchased by the Daily News in 1937 or 1938 and drew heavily on that publication for editorial and other content. In 1948, the paper opposed Confederation strongly.

We are in the process of digitizing the Observer's Weekly. Links to years and months will appear as they become available.
