The source is a Pacific Canadian newspaper based in New Westminster, British Columbia. Its targeted audience is the local literate population in the Greater Vancouver area who are aware of local news and politics. It features four pages of news, which includes pieces about the Great War and by-elections. Moreover, the paper has advertisements for fishmongers like ‘Fraser Fish River Co.’ and small businesses such as ‘James & McClughan Plumbing and Heating’. The newspaper also contains a local legislature piece about the ongoing situation with the Great War and buying Kitsalano Indian land on page four. This is significant because it highlights settler colonisation dictating local policy in the district that once belonged and governed by the First Nation. Moreover, it is evidence of settler colonisation spreading across the region as purchasing land from them.
