Ming Pao Daily News (Canada)
Ming Pao Daily News, or Ming Pao for short, was a Chinese language newspaper in Canada owned by the Ming Pao Group of Hong Kong.
Ming Pao in Canada had two editions. The Eastern edition published in Toronto, Ontario was launched in May 1993 by then Chairman P.H. Yu, and competed in the local Chinese community with Sing Tao Daily and World Journal. The Toronto editorial offices are located in Agincourt. Shortly after in October 1993, the Western edition was launched in Vancouver, British Columbia.
With rival papers having ceased print editions in Canada. Ming Pao was the last paid Chinese-language newspaper that published daily in the country.
The paper published 7 days a week in broadsheet format. News coverage include Canadian news, international news, Hong Kong news, mainland China and Taiwan news, plus lifestyle, entertainment, and sports sections.
On January 12, 2026, it was announced that due to financial difficulties the Richmond, British Columbia and Toronto branches of the paper would publish their final edition January 17, 2026, with all 60 staff terminated effective January 31, 2026.
Magazines
From 1993-2019, the Canada Eastern edition of Ming Pao publishes several weekly magazines. Unlike the situation in Hong Kong where the magazines are sold as separate publications, these were more properly called supplements that come free with the paper. The pages inside the magazines were also printed on newsprint instead of glossy paper.Since 2019, in response to increased demands, Ming Pao gradually revamped its business model and all magazines were sold individually. Free copies of Ming Pao's daily newspaper were offered as incentive with a subscription.

- Wednesday —Ming Pao Gourmet Supplement, a tabloid-sized food magazine.
- Thursday — Property Golden Pages, a tabloid-format publication containing mostly editorial content on the real estate market and home improvement with some property listings and other data.
- Friday — Healthy Living, a tabloid-sized magazine that discusses trendy health and lifestyle issues.
- Saturday — Saturday Magazine, a lifestyle-and-news magazine with substantial original local content.
