Controversial discontinuations

Dyer's column was discontinued in the Jerusalem Post in 1997 when it was bought by Conrad Black. Black subsequently bought the former Southam chain in Canada, which included most of the country's big-city English-language dailies, and had Dyer's column expelled from all of them as well. When the Asper family, owners of Canwest Global, took over ownership of the papers in 2002, they maintained the ban. This had the result that Dyer's column has since been unavailable in the more mainstream Canadian newspapers, and consequently completely unavailable in large parts of the country. We Must Surely Be Learning From Our Mistakes... Right? - Embassy - Newspaper Online Smaller media companies continue to publish the column, including alternatively owned newspapers such as Torstar's Hamilton Spectator, Edmonton's Vue Weekly , Vancouver's Georgia Straight, Sun Media papers such as the London Free Press and a few local publications of the regional Osprey Media and Black Press Black Press (not affiliated with Conrad Black), such as Kamloops This Week and the Red Deer Advocate, as well as Calgary's independent Fast Forward Weekly.

Dyer speculates that this is due to his opinions on the Arab-Israel conflict and both Black's and the Asper family's Likud Party sympathies. In 2005, Dyer released a book of his columns, titled With Every Mistake.
