There were Canadian newspapers in that collection as well.   Many of FMPs Canadian records can be found elsewhere for free.   The FindMyPast Canadian newspaper collection was something I couldn't find anywhere else, and added value to my Findmypast.com subscription.  As others have said, I will be rethinking my subscription when it comes up for renewal in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the links.

I just went to look up something in a US newspaper and realized they were missing from FindMyPast. I use that resource all the time and am very disappointed that they didn't have the courtesy to inform their users.
