Remember when we posted old TV commercial for newspaper a couple of weeks back? We wrote that it was from 1985 but soon after it went up there was a bit of an eruption on Twitter from reporters who were old enough to remember the paper back in the 80's, and the date came into question. Was the paper a broadsheet format in 1985 or was it tabloid? And what's that headline on the cover, is that from 1985? What about the Canucks jersey?

Thankfully they did some digging and put the argument to rest with today explaining exactly what the date was, what was happening in the world, and in the city and their paper, at that time. Because that's what they do over there. Enjoy #throwbackthursday courtesy of The Province!
