Black Day In August?
Or the start of a mutually enjoyable relationship?
Whatever, once Quebecor pays its $414 million-plus tab on Aug. 8, Osprey employees at 20 dailies and 34 non-dailies across Ontario will become Sun Media/Quebecor employees.
They include some of the many Quebecor cutback casualties hired by Osprey after being laid off or fired by Sun Media.
We know that will be a blow to the gut, but that is life among the conglomerates.

We know that will be a blow to the gut, but that is life among the conglomerates.
Questions on this morning after:
Will the hundreds of soon-to-be Quebecor employees be lining up for membership in the Southern Ontario Newsmedia Guild?
Why did Black Press decide not to make a second offer for Osprey?
How many of those 54 dailies and weeklies will survive unscathed in the next year or two?
For now, Toronto Sun Family invites all of Sun Media's future sister newspapers to the fold and welcomes any and all comments from new staffers.
The following Osprey newspapers will soon be Sun Media newspapers and the Osprey name in association with media in Ontario will be history.
Some of Canada's oldest newspapers are among the lot. All the best under Quebecor.
