Kanadan Sanomat is a merger of two newspapers:

• Vapaa Sana published between 1931 and 2012 in Toronto, Ontario
• Canadan Sanomat published between 2001 and 2012 in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

Kanadan Sanomat is considered a natural continuation of both papers and serves both Toronto and Thunder Bay readers that were earlier served by the two newspapers.^[2]

The new newspaper utilizes the K in the name Kanadan Sanomat referring to Canada with a K as customary in the Finnish language, rather than its predecessor Canadan Sanomat.
