Canadian Press
What, if any, Canadian papers are read by the peeps in this forum? I know UK papers are available over there but what title would come recommended for someone who reads the Guardian or the Indy over here? I guess for the GTA area (unless the Canadians have national newspapers too.)

Re: Canadian Press
Toronto Star seems ok from what I've read on the Net. You will be disappointed with the papers here - best bet is the Globe and Mail (and that is not the same quality of analysis/comment 
And there is always the current news magazine MacLeans - this isn't a recommendation but it does provide much heated comment in my household!

I read the Star a lot online but they only seem to let you view the articles from up to 7 days back, which is a bit naff. I guess I'll have to make do with day old brit rags for the editorial content.

Re: Canadian Press
The Globe & Mail is considered Canada's national paper. The National Post also claims to be national, but is not as widely read. You could also check the CBC site for news on national and provincial levels. Local papers tend not to be much use except for movie listings and classifieds. As for the Toronto Star, I wouldn’t use it to housetrain the dog, let alone actually read it.

Re: Canadian Press
there is this excellent online paper - but it is BC centric (which makes a change from the "national" papers that say "and over in the West..." but that is for another soapbox... )
