Brooklin's new newspaper

To my surprise, our little village now has a local newspaper:

The Brooklin Citizen is published as an insert to the Whitby This Week distribution in north Whitby. I'm sure they had some interesting ideas for naming the new publication. If they'd polled the original residents, I think we'd have ended up with names like this:

  • The Brooklin Invader
  • The Brooklin Outsider
  • The Brooklin Go Back To Toronto, Yuppie Scum!
  • The Brooklin Alienation

The village has grown over 500% in the past 15 years, with the current population estimated at 13,500. The original residents, to be polite, were uncomfortable with all their new neighbours.
