Take off, ya hoser! Matter of fact, the guys at the Sun DO cry in their beer over not being Americans yet. That's just later in the day, eh?
The Toronto papers are as follows:
The Toronto Star - tends toward a liberal "everyman" outlook. Dislikes the conservative agenda, and champions social causes and investigations into corruption. Has the best comics page! ;-D My favorite Toronto paper by far.
The Globe and Mail - Tends toward a very sober business and upper class outlook. Has a weighty and prestigious place in the world of print. Fairly dependable on the whole.
The Toronto Sun - slightly to the right of Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh - good if you can barely read, but like color pictures. Into sex, violence, militarism, and sensation.
The National Post (?) - Tends toward a rapacious neocon business outlook. It is the paper that makes Conrad Black feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
The Star and the Globe are by are the most influential and have been around for a long time. The Sun emerged following the demise of the old Telegram, and it is a hangout for archconservatives, plus the odd true inconoclast and independent thinker (like Eric Margolis, who writes some quite good stuff from time to time).
The National Post doesn't seem to be doing that well, so they may not last too much longer. I won't miss them if they go.
