It is fair to categorized "The Province" as being a tabloid ??? The paper is known for its sensationalism and strong bias, but is categorizing it as a tabloid accurate ??? Lets discuss this !!!
I really don't see it as a tabloid, just a normal newspaper.
It is a tabloid in the same way the New York Post is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.1.156.204 (talk) 10:58, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Calling The Province a tabloid is disingenuous. The size and shape of the paper it is printed on is not the most important feature of the newspaper; a quick scan of the other Canadian newspaper articles suggests that including the paper size in the first sentence is completely non-standard on wikipedia, and appears to be an attempt to falsely discredit the newspaper (the majority of the world, upon seeing the word "tabloid" thinks of Tabloid journalism). 154.20.170.241 (talk) 19:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
newspapers come in two forms: broadsheet form (ie. Vanocuver Sun, Calgary Herald, Toronto Star, New York Times, Globe and Mail) and tabloid form (ie. the Province, Toronto Sun, The Guardian (London), New York Daily News)

This paragraph is plagiarized:
In 1923, the Southam family bought The Province. By 1945 the paper's printers went out on strike. The Province had been the best selling newspaper in Vancouver, ahead of the Vancouver Sun and News Herald. As a result of the six-week strike, it lost significant market share, at one point falling to third place.
This is what the source (Vancouver Maritime Museum) says:

Identical, word-for-word. I will change it to remove the plagiarism. --Greysonsarch (talk) 18:22, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
