Postmedia/Québecor deal

$316 million buyout

It also raises questions about the future of newspapers in the cities of Edmonton, Vancouver and Ottawa, where Postmedia already owns newspapers. Michel Magnan, a professor in the Department of Accountancy, can analyse the deal from a business point-of-view.
