		CanWest said Friday that Citigroup will examine “a range of possible scenarios” that could affect CanWest's 56.4 percent interest in Australian TV broadcaster Network Ten; Eye Corp., a Ten-owned outdoor advertising company; and CanWest MediaWorks NZ Ltd., the company's 70 percent owned radio and TV broadcasting unit in New Zealand.

		Bek said a sale by CanWest is more likely than a further investment in the region, due to the high valuations of media assets in the region amid takeover chatter.

	CanWest's agenda should worry Canadians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		CanWest's agenda has attracted international attention because it is the main reason why Canada now enjoys less media diversity than any country in the Western world, with the possible exception of Australia, and CanWest's official policy is to make matters worse.
		CanWest also owns dozens of television and radio stations, many in the same major metropolitan markets as its newspapers -- a practice that is illegal in the United States.
		CanWest reinforces its authority by making the dailies in its Southam chain (Asper acquired Southam Inc. from Conrad Black two years ago) print at least one editorial a week, word for word, that comes straight from head office.

	3. What CanWest Global says
		None of CanWest Global's critics have stated in so many words that owners should not be allowed to contribute material to their own media.
		Davis said the Cuthand column was spiked in Regina because it "didn't meet standards of accuracy, and fair comment must be based on facts, so it didn't run." (42) He told CJFE he understood that local editors had tried unsuccessfully to reach Cuthand to discuss the issues of fact and interpretation before spiking the column.
		The only major piece by a CanWest employee critical of the initiative was a reasonably tough column by Charles Gordon of The [Ottawa] Citizen, who reminded readers that under previous owners the Southam papers were proud of their editorial independence.

	CanWest Global, Chain Editorials and Freedom of Expression in Canada
		CanWest Global Communications Corp. ignited a storm of protest in December by announcing a new policy of requiring its newspapers to follow a common editorial line on key national and international issues.
		The concerns escalated dramatically as dozens of employees at CanWest's Southam newspapers who dissented publicly from this policy were reprimanded, suspended and threatened with dismissal.
		CanWest Global's confrontational style and dismissive tone will only make it more difficult to unite all media professionals in the task of defending free expression.

	Canada’s Media Monopoly
		CanWest set off the media furor in December with its a decision to require all of its daily newspapers to run corporate editorials produced in its Winnipeg head office.
		CanWest publications committee chair David Asper borrowed lyrics from the rock group REM: "I can say to our critics and especially to the bleeding hearts of the journalist community that it’s the end of the world as they know it--and I feel fine," he said in a January speech.
		CanWest’s owners, Winnipeg’s Asper family, which made its fortune in the television business, appear to consider their newspapers not only as profit centers and promotional vehicles for their television network but also as private, personal pulpits from which to express their views.

		That the CanWest Global Communications Corporation, the parent company, is now a player in the international television market belies its relatively recent and humble beginnings 18 years ago.

	February 26, 2005 - How CanWest was won by Richard Reynolds
		At CanWest's recent annual general meeting in Toronto, Asper was tentative, almost uncertain, in front of the many powerful investors gathered in Toronto's former stock exchange.
		CanWest Global has grown from a tiny TV station in a nondescript Canadian prairie city to a media empire with major investments in four countries.
		Many of the critics of CanWest, and there are many, point to Vancouver, where CanWest owns two dailies and two local TV stations, as well as the daily in nearby Victoria, the provincial capital.

	Montreal Newspaper Guild - Links Relating to the CanWest Controversy
		CanWest's corporate motto is: "If you can watch it, read it, hear it, or download it, we want to be the source." Fair enough, but its owners want Ottawa to help by giving them more tax money, and emasculating the CBC.
		CanWest's alleged "bigness" has been the issue that critics have used to justify their calls for a government inquiry into the media.
		On the contrary, CanWest understands that the success of our newspapers is due largely to their ability, in their editorial policies, to mirror the interests and values of their local readers.

	TNG Canada: Brief to Senate Committee on Canadian News Media (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		CanWest has begun to evaluate in detail how CP could be done away with altogether, using copy from CanWest News Service or other news services as a substitute.
		From our perspective, employees or freelancers working for CanWest who exercise free-expression rights or push internally for pluralism in subject areas where the proprietors or their managers disagree are marginalized in the daily scheme of things — effectively deprived of power over news and analysis decisions and access to readers or viewers.
		If anything, CanWest is ahead of the curve: financial returns among the major CanWest metropolitan papers appear to have increased to at least 30 cents on each revenue dollar, considerably more than twice the levels of years past.

		CanWest has three separate projects under way, two of which are very large – the Firebag Oil Sands Project and the Pasquia Hills Oil Shale Project, both of which are located in Saskatchewan, Canada.
		CanWest states that the average well in the Sylvan Lake Field has produced 500 barrels oil per day with over one million cubic feet gas per day.
		We think CanWest is in the right place at the right time having substantially positioned itself to take advantage of the sustained rise in the price of oil.
