The Toronto Sun is a right-wing tabloid published in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is owned by Quebecor's Sun Media Corporation.[2] The Toronto Sun is to English-speaking Canada what the New York Post is to the United States and what The Sun is to the U.K. Unlike the British paper however, its "Page 3" model (the "Sunshine Girl") isn't naked, and is usually like a picture torn from a page of Maxim.
Its "sister" television station is the full-on wingnut Sun News Network,[3] which is quickly realizing the disadvantages of trying to emulate Fox News in Canada.
In 2014, Pierre Karl Péladeau, who was the CEO of Sun Media for 15 years, announced that he would run for the separatist Bloc Parti Québécois in an upcoming provincial election.[4] Given that Péladeau's family had long ties to the nationalist cause, it would take a Machiavelli-like mind to take pleasure in endlessly bashing the CBC and intentionally demonizing Quebec to populist voters across the country for over a decade. (And the Tories, well, they didn't seem to have noticed.)
