History and profile
Edited first by
Harper's, and was similarly priced, but focused on "cultivating Canadian patriotism and Canadian interests."[1] In 1897, the Magazine purchased Massey's Magazine thereby doubling its subscription.[1] Advertisers were railway companies, banks, insurance companies, schools and colleges, brand-name dry goods and liquor producers.[1] Eventually, its publisher would compete against the print cartel run by Hugh Cameron MacLean and William Southam.[1] It reached a circulation of 30,000 subscribers in 1922.[1] In 1925 the circulation of the magazine was 12,604 copies.[2]
The journal featured writers including

Canadian Magazine ended publication in 1938.[5]
