The Sunday Express was an English-language weekly newspaper published in Montreal.
The paper was published by Midnight founder Joe Azaria, who also tried without success to turn the paper into a daily, under the name Daily Express. That experiment lasted less than a year, as the paper was unable to compete with the then-dominant Montreal Star and the second place Montreal Gazette (now Montreal's only English daily). http://members.tripod.com/~Hughdoherty/azaria.html
In 1974, the Sunday Express was acquired by Quebecor, which ran it until closing the paper in 1985. http://www.ketupa.net/quebecor2.htmhttp://www.quebecor.com/Quebecor/1980.aspx?Culture=n
