Kevin RussellAnd Canada is even lower than the States because 1 American, a far right Republican, bought 98% of English language newspapers. Canada's news system is owned by a US trumper.
Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Vancouver Sun, Province, Ottawa Citizen, National Post, the SUN papers, the small town papers.
It was illegal for news to be foreign owned before Harper. But Liberals went along. Still.
Alison Meeks@kevinrns The newspaper was acquired by NordStar Capital on May 26, 2020, after the board of Torstar voted to sell the company to the investment firm for CA$52 million—making Torstar a privately held company.[43] The deal was expected to be approved by Torstar's shareholders and to close by the end of 2020.[44] Canadian Modern Media Holdings made an offer of $58 million on July 9, 2020;[45] NordStar subsequently increased its offer to $60 million, effectively ending the bidding war.[45] The majority of shareholders voted in favour of the deal.[46] The takeover was approved by an Ontario judge on July 27, 2020.[47] An appeal of the judgement by another prospective purchaser failed on July 31 when Ontario Superior Court Justice Michael Penny dismissed the motion.

The Toronto Star, while Trump announces invasion and economic subversion, and Musk is saluting dead Hitler, spent their time advertising Cluster trucks. The object of worldwide disdain because of EVIL.
And far right funder of racist political parties in Canada? His paper is doing advertorial for the tesla truck.
