If you haven’t heard, the free daily paper Dose is dead<\/a>. At first, I outrightly rejected the publication. But over time I began to enjoy the snarkiness and their willingess to cover interesting urban storylines. Compared to the horrible recycled trash found in 24 Hours, and the less-offensive Metro, Dose was ahead of the curve. The publication is not entirely dead, as its website Dose.ca<\/a> will live to see another day.<\/p>\n

Today, in one of their last editions, Dose did a cover story<\/a> on the ever-important issue of street postering. They looked at the etiquette, the laws, the fines…. Quite impressive.<\/p>\n
