The rapid decline of the post is really visible - from clear #1 5 years ago to today, where they have less than half the readership they used to have.

Don't blame the readers though, with all the cutbacks I find the post has hardly any original content.  It's all reprints from US sources, and even then, the # of articles posted per day is like 1/ 100 of the globe or CBC for example.  Very very light on news and info these days.
