How is The Huffington Post Canada, which launched six months ago, different from our American counterpart? Our managing blogs editor Danielle Crittenden appeared on CNN's Reliable Sources to explain.

"It's got the same mix of politics and entertainment and news," Crittenden told host Howard Kurtz, "And now it's got a real Canadian bent in our bloggers."

She added that the mix of political views among our bloggers sets us apart from other players in the Canadian media landscape.

"I'm having left and right all sharing space in the same blog rail," she said. "Traditionally there are liberal publications, conservative publications in Canada but I'm mixing it all up together so you can come and get that debate."

Watch the full interview to find out why Crittenden calls The HuffIngton Post "SEAL Team 6," why she thinks Canadian debates are more subdued, and which type of celebrity gossip Canadians really love the most.

Danielle Crittenden: Sunday Round-Up

While Alison Redford succeeded in her stunning bid to become Alberta's first female premier, Ontarians still don't know which chocolate they'll be picking out of the box. This past week's leadership debate produced no new clear front-runner. Meanwhile, protestors against the Keystone Pipeline busily had themselves arrested at demonstrations on Parliament Hill -- with our own Maude Barlow reporting from the paddywagon about her handcuffing experience. Our intrepid HuffPost contributors are no strangers, however, to incarceration: We were thrilled to welcome Baron Black of Crossharbour -- Conrad Black -- aboard as a new blogger.

judging by the miniscule amount of comments on the Canada page I'd say the readership is very very low.

I think it is fair to say that Ms. Crittenden is not too popular and neither is HP's Canadian coverage. Just let the posters post and let the chips fall where they may. This constant deleting of posts is going to cost you in the long run HP.

I'm guessing it's because you have an extraordinarily constrained and puerile sense of what 'beauty' is.

The main difference being that HP Canada just turns off the comment section to stories that may draw un-PC comments.

Most of the bloggers are: her husband, her kid, her step father, her sister in law, Conrad Black and the ultra religous neo con crowd.

And they have the most censorship of any of the pages on this website.

Oh yes? Please explain to this Canadian which are the progressive bloggers here..this is a totally right wing "Canadian" version of something or other, with a dollop of Green thrown in (and they've always been Con supporters, too-many are failed candidates from the Con party)
I just click to the American site, which is what I signed up for to begin with...as usual, Canadians are being treated like afterthoughts so why bother, we get enough of this crap at home in the news media that is controlled by a right wing monopoly..

Who funds the HP?
Or is that a deep dark secret?

I have been on HP before they launched their Canadian version. Frankly it leaves much to be desired to say the least. Coverage is useless most of the time. Articles are there forever so what is happening to the real news? The sports page in nonexistent. If you are going to tout yourself as Canadian then do so. This site has changed and not for the better.

"She is the daughter of Max Crittenden, a former editor with the now-defunct Toronto Telegram, and her mother is magazine writer Yvonne Crittenden. Her stepfather is journalist and former Toronto Sun editor Peter Worthington. She has been critical of the feminist movement and is considered to be a social conservative. Crittenden is the editor of The Women’s Quarterly magazine. She is married to former George W. Bush special assistant and speechwriter David Frum and resides in Washington DC." Well that is all I needed to hear, good job shafting the Canadian left.

I wondered about the Worthington connection it seems that everyone who gets to blog here has some family connection.

We really could have done without this "Americanization"....

I exaggerate slightly, but the RW voices get way to many pixels, with no LW extreme all.

Glad Huffpo has a Cdn version, but why the heck do they continue to carry Conrad Black and David Frum? Black is still serving time and Frum will forever be in moral-pergatory for the speeches he wrote GWB and his ridiculous behaviour to Rachel Maddow. When it comes to Canadian Content, aka CANCON, Huffpo can, and should, do much better.

And Peter Worthington is her stepfather. Crittenden has not lived in Canada for at least 24 years. She resides in Washington, DC.
