The Irving family, via Brunswick News Inc. (BNI), owns all the daily newspapers in New Brunswick, in addition to Irving Oil. Michael de Adder made a point of not trying to sell this particular cartoon to those newspapers because of a standing editorial policy at BNI, but because it did appear in other news services, it went viral anyway. And that is when the axe was brought down...which it was apparently going to be anyway because of issues re: de Adder's opinion of the premier of New Brunswick, himself a former executive at Irving Oil.
