History
The British Whig was founded in 1834 by Edward John Barker (1799–1884).[3] It merged in 1926 with the Kingston Daily Standard (founded 1908) to become the Kingston Whig-Standard. The word "Kingston" was dropped from the name in 1973, but was reinstated in the early 1990s. The present publication is Canada's oldest continuously published daily newspaper.[citation needed] (The first Canadian daily is the now defunct Montreal Daily Advertiser.[4])
