There are an absurd number of USA Today boxes in Kitchener-Waterloo.
There may be more of USA Today boxes than there are of the local
paper the K-W Record, or of the Globe and Mail.  Each one of them
bears the slogan "THE NATIONS NEWSPAPER".  I Find this infuriating.

There is a local bylaw that newspapers must get approval from city
council before they place newspaper boxes in public places.  
USA Today has arrogantly not bothered to get this approval.
There is a petition asking council not to grant permission.

Mail me for details.
