Yeah, Tahna. How about switching it up with some Globe and Mail and CBC?

The Toronto Star is my choice because they have the most extensive local and international reporting out of all the newspapers that are sold around here. You should see Saturday's paper.
I read the Globe and Mail on occaision. They've got some good articles that I have posted here on a previous basis. Although they are a bit right wing, their editorial and opinion reporting has been quite unbiased, they even include opinions from the left wing, and their editorials are almost like the Toronto Star, even though they are a right-leaning paper.
The Toronto Sun is best known for its Sunshine girl, always a jawdropper. Their editorial reporting is also a bit to the right, but they save most of their venom against Jean Chretien, whom they refer as the worst politician in Canada.
The one newspaper that I stay away from is the National Post. This is the Ultra-Neo-Conservative paper of Canada. I don't like it. Biased reporting everywhere. Its former owner once said that a reporter who penned a left-wing opinion piece (which had nothing to do with this former owner I must add) should be publically horsewhipped. Left wingers don't have a voice in this one, so I never read it.

This former owner. His name wouldn't be a single five letter word beginning with the letter O would it?

I'm surprised you see the Globe as right-of-centre, though, Tahnaman. Like you said, it's fairly devoid of ideology in general, and tends to be a bit more pro-Chretien and anti-Harris than the Post.

Its ideology has shifted somewhat a bit to the left when the Post came into being. It used to be a pro-Harris and pro-Klein paper. Well, it's still pro-Klein, but no longer pro-Harris, as the G&M has been hounding Harris over Ipperwash and Walkerton (to which the Post says "'if it is not my fault' then we believe him"). Either that, or they totally dodge the issue.

Well to get back to the topic as it is atleast the lady was smart enough to leave it alone and call the police. I worked with a guy that found what he thought was a pipe bomb, so he picked it up and took it to the police station. He slapped it down onto the counter and told them he thought it was a bomb.
I mean honestly how stupid can you get. Would have served him right if the damn thing really was a bomb and took his hand off.

They use to give out free copies of Toronto Star at my last university, but not this one. University of Waterloo is the best university in Canada my butt, we only get free National Post. What a joke.
