There was a pretty complimentary article published about Wikipedia in the Saturday National Post (a national Canadian newspaper). Unfortunately, you need a subscription to see the whole article online:

Er, that's not the same: that one's four months old, and it's not from Canwest Global.
I must say I'm somewhat surprised at the relative lack of coverage Wikipedia has gotten in Canadian media. However, it's cited regularly as source material by CBC (Canada's national news service) online edition, and seems to have gotten some isolated mention in Radio-Canada (CBC's French-language equivalent). I would guess that the other major papers will feel compelled to say something now that the Post has featured it fairly prominently.

Whoops, I seem to have sent this to Stephen rather than to the list - anyway, the other day I posted some stuff to [[Wikipedia:Press coverage]], the Sun Media papers have made relatively frequent mention of Wikipedia in 2004 and already a few times this year.

I noticed that there is a link to the following interesting proxy:

Seems pretty cool! Embeds Wikipedia links into BBC articles!
