History
[change | change source]Conrad Black designed the National Post to be similar to the Financial Post, a financial newspaper in Toronto. The newspaper was launched in October 27.[3][4] which was retained as the name of the new newspaper's business section.[source?]
The Post was unable to remain popular due to problems with money in the early 2000s.[5] It was bought in 2001 by CanWest Global,[6] which also owned the Global Television Network.[5]
