He managed to create a franchise from nothing in a competitive market, and in doing so stirred up political controversy in consensus-minded Canada. But it never made him any money, which may be why his bet on the New York Sun is so modest. Buying established but faltering papers would make more sense. "There will be investment opportunities arising from this economic downturn that Hollinger's increased financial strength will enable us to take advantage of," says Mr Colson, "not only in New York, but elsewhere in the US."
