The "Upper Canada Gazette" or "American Oracle", Canada's fifth newspaper, was published April 17, 1793 in Newark (Ontario's original capital, now Niagara-on-the-Lake).

Thirty-one years later, editor and agitator for political reform William Lyon Mackenzie published the Colonial Advocate in nearby Queenston on May 18, 1824. For Mackenzie, publishing the paper began a career of public activism for the reformation of the government of Upper Canada which led to the ill-fated Upper Canada Rebellion at York (Toronto) in 1837.
