    Obligatory reminder that the Globe and Mail, once Canadian-owned and consistently centre/centre-left, is now owned by a republican-leaning American organization, and that stories about our two countries or anything in the typical Conservative agenda may be more prevalent or seem more biased.

    Immigration, ‘othering’ immigrants, and highlighting supposed links between crime and ‘others’ like immigrants or homeless people, falls in that agenda.

        The Woodbridge Company is a private holdings firm, owned and used by the Thompson family (the richest family in Canada).

        They also own Thompsom-Reuters, an multinational mass news conglomerate.

      I think you mean the Toronto Star.

      • The Globe was always centre/right, and was (and is) owned by the Thompson family, which is Canada’s richest.
      • The Toronto Star (well, TorStar Inc) was indeed a centre/left paper that was bought by a group of right-wing Americans.

      For completeness’ sake, Postmedia, which is the other Canadian newspaper publisher, is now and has always been a bunch of right-wing hacks)
