Upper Canada Guardian : ウィキペディア英語版 | Upper Canada Guardian
The ''Upper Canada Guardian; or Freeman’s Journal'' was one of the first opposition papers in 19th century Upper Canada. Its publisher and editor Joseph Willcocks established it after moving to Niagara in 1807 to combat arbitrary power, oppressive land laws, and ultimately create liberty in the province. Willcocks claimed that the Guardian was meant: “to disseminate the principles of political truth, check the progress of inordinate power, and keep alive the sacred flame of a just and rational liberty.”〔 In 1809, Judge William Dummer Powell complained of its widespread popularity and the fact that it was in nearly every household.〔 It was a four page paper (11 by 17 and a half inches) published between July 24, 1807 and June 9, 1812〔 and printed in with the roman cursive “f” representing the English long "s".〔 The Upper Canada Guardian came to an end when Willcocks sold its printing press to Richard Hatt in June 1812 for $1,600.〔 ==Upper Canada papers before the ''Upper Canada Guardian''== The first newspaper published in Upper Canada was the ''Upper Canada Gazette'' in April 1793 in Niagara which recognized that a community benefits from political press and aimed to publish accounts of government events. The Tiffany brothers (Gideon and Silvester) created the first independent newspaper in Niagara July 1799, known as the ''Canada Constellation''. However, the paper lasted only until 1800 due to its pro-American sympathies and a lack of government aid and subscriptions.
