The mention comes from the Globe and Mail, through a column about one of modern Canada's more perennial topics: how much Americans really know about Canada. It discusses a Florida history class, "A Survey of Modern Canada," in which "the Conrad Black trial doesn't count as Canadian news."
There's also a full article, courtesy of the Guardian/Observer, which discusses the basic sympathy amongst the bulk of Canadian journalists for Conrad Black. The author, Martin Newland, juxtaposes this sympathy with a single instance of street-level schadenfreude that he heard. He chalks that sympathy up to latent anti-Americanism, although there is a hint that he concluded that the well-known Canadian sympathy reflex for the knocked-down has kicked in.
