Canada Getting Five Times More Charlie Hebdo Copies Than U.S.
North American distributor has requested a second shipment
That’s because unlike the U.S., where distribution of the French satirical magazine was halted in 2010, Canada has continued to carry the publication, mainly in Quebec.
The U.S., which normally sees zero copies, will have 300 on hand by the end of the week. Canada, which typically receives 100 copies of the magazine via distributor LS Distribution/LMPI, will get 1500. LMPI is also handling the U.S. extension.
It will be interesting to see if the social media community starts singling out and objecting to retailers who publicly chose not to carry the limited available run.
