TORONTO -- Daily commuter newspaper chain Metro Canada is expanding into six new cities as of April 2.

The free daily plans to begin offering print and digital editions in Saskatoon and Regina and digital-only versions in Hamilton, Kitchener, Windsor and Victoria.

It will also offer mobile news apps for iPhone, iPad and Android.

The new launches mean Metro will now be available in 15 of Canada's top 17 metropolitan areas.

The newspaper, currently read by more than one million commuters each day, targets a core readership that it calls YAMS -- youthful, active metropolitans aged 18 to 49.

Torstar Corp. owns a 90 per cent stake in the Canadian Metro chain.

So? Is critical reading really too tough for you, or do you need newspapers to tell you what you should think?

what r u talking about? talk about filling in the blanks with your own weirdness. Where did I say that I need newspapers to know how to think? Where did I say I don't read books and where did I say I don't read books? Shut up!

Good! We need more solid, progressive journalism to counter Harper's Sun Media garbage.

Here in Calgary they hire people to hand them out at train stations and the papers end up all over. So messy.

Metro is good to clean windows and probably lining my cat's sandbox....here in Montreal Metro is nothing but a separatist rag, with lots of biased information against the local Anglo community, Ottawa, and the rest of Canada
