Journal “bug”: Metro shows a workaround
Metro rather daringly revealed a workaround to allow users to read subscriber-locked content at the Journal de Montréal – an innovation they also sassily describe as a bug.

Same goes for the Gazette. Though there my method of choice is simply to reload the page and click “Stop” before it finishes loading. The Flash object with the red warning is the last thing to load, which I discovered when wikipedia joined the SOPA blackout early this year :)

Most paywalls are layers on top of the website run by a third party and not part of the website. If you set up your browser in a certain way or have some browser addons the paywall is nonexistent.

I’ve also found some articles blocked on the Journal site are openly available on the TVA site, but not all.
