VERDICT

Should I use Nationalpost?

Advertisement oop - nationalpost.com

Depends. Buy it only if you want a Canadian national newspaper subscription — news, opinion, and an ePaper app. Skip it if you expected software or a business tool; it is a publisher, not a product.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 40+ public web sources; the page is a news publisher, not software.
