HuffPost Canada will stop publishing content, the outlet announced on its website Tuesday.
"As of March 9, HuffPost Canada will no longer be publishing content. Existing content will be maintained as an online archive," it said in a statement.
The HuffPost Canada union said operations at HuffPost Canada and HuffPost Quebec will shut down operations next week.
"All of our staff are now out of a job," the HuffPost Canada Union said in a series of tweets.
We have been told this decision was made before our organizing effort and is not linked to our unionizing. <br><br>Still, it is even more devastating in the wake of the hope and optimism we had following a strong union drive.
—@HuffpostCAUnionHuffPost was recently acquired by Buzzfeed, which announced layoffs for the U.S. newsroom on Tuesday in addition to the closing of the Canadian site.
In a statement published shortly following the announcement, the Buzzfeed Canada union criticized the decision to "take these websites' homepages offline barely an hour after employees were told of their impending closure, and without warning."
"We cannot overstate the loss of an entire publication from this country's media ecosystem," the statement read. "We stand in solidarity with the HuffPost Canada union and ask BuzzFeed to provide fair and generous severance that recognizes the dedication of these employees."
The Buzzfeed News union also posted a message of solidarity following the news.
