Toronto Star is owned by Postmedia Network, it's majority owned by GOP supporting American interests.

Postmedia owns a lot of Canadian papers listed at that link, but Toronto Star isn't among them.

Shit. Toronto Sun....the Sun is a star right?

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe elsewhere - in Toronto, The Sun is just a piece of trash. Definitely down with calling that one out.

Yes, this is a list of US-owned papers. Note that the Toronto Star is not on it.

The Toronto Star has been toilet paper for over a decade or longer. Only a fool would be buying that rag.

it’s majority owned by GOP

That's weird. They usually slag the non-conservative rep super-hard; like, tan-suit hard.

The theory I've heard that seems to be coming true is that America wanted Carney in order to build a pipeline through Quebec, using a constitutional crisis as the opportunity to do so. Pierre wouldn't be able to as a Con, but a progressive doing so will be palatable enough theoretically.

If Fox news started praising Biden I'd be equally suspicious, definitely their donors pushing an agenda.
