Toronto's two main dailies are the Star and the Sun . The Star is a broadsheet that tends to lean liberal and is the more serious of the two and the Sun is a tabloid that tends to lean conservative. Canada's two national dailies, the Globe and Mail and the National Post , are published in Toronto and tend to focus more on that city than anywhere else. The Globe has ties with Bay Street banks and has endorsed The Conservative party in the last few elections. The National Post is more right-leaning and was started by media baron Conrad Black. Toronto also has a free daily, Metro , which reports on local, national and international news and includes movie and television listings. Metro is distributed in boxes on the street and in subway stations.
Free weekly newspapers, distributed from boxes on street corners and in racks in stores and restaurants can be good sources of information on cinema, dining, music, theatre, and other events and local news:
Eye Weekly - Comes out on Thursdays.
Now Toronto - Comes out on Thursdays.
Depending on where you go in Toronto, you will be able to find locally printed newspapers in a variety of languages. For example, in Chinatown, you will find Chinese newspapers.
