The spec sucks now. It's the only news you have to pay for to view. Well past it's prime 15 years ago. I'm deleting all ties with the spec for ever and I recommend every one do the same. Try chch news or Cbc news they are just as good but better because they are subscription free

Either it is not possible to enter a vacation stop .. or .. it is hidden in the app and not easy to access. In my other news subscription G & M and NYT I can access my account/ manage subscription from the home page. I still don't see a way to do that in the Spec. I scroll down looking for a footer but the home page ends at the last article with no footer / no contact link. When I go off home page I can access a Contact Us link but that does not provide account/ subscription only a 1 800 #

I get a fare amount of information every day. It's nice to know what's going on. I get alot of top stories close to home. (Flamborough, Hamilton and surrounded areas). I pay annually. They renew it every year. I can call to cancel anytime, if I wish.
