Canada's press is already largely government-funded. The US has the NY Times, the Washington Post, and many other news sites that have learned to adapt to the digital age. The main issue with the US is that it just had way too many local papers because classified ads used to print money pre-internet. The US now resembles more the UK, which had long ago moved to primarily national papers.
