Montreal Gazette

The Montreal Gazette, which was originally known simply as The Gazette, is the sole English-language daily newspaper still in circulation in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. This is significant as three other English daily newspapers ceased operations at different points in the latter half of the 20th century. The Gazette is one of the last two English dailies in the French-speaking province; the other is the Sherbrooke Record, which caters to the English-speaking community in the Eastern Townships, located southeast of Montreal.
