Most recent ownership info I can find is that the Star is owned by Torstar Corporation, which is owned by NordStar Capital.

Canadian company, and not Postmedia. Is this not still true?

The star went private a few years ago, the new owners broke up and then the sole owner fired the head editor.

I think it’s still Canadian.

Doesn't mean it doesn't have a right wing bias and agenda, though. I haven't read thd Star in decades, so I don't know. Just pointing out the (probably) painfully obvious (because I have a tendency to do that).

I replied to the wrong person, my apologies.

From what I remember they were losing a lot of money, so they've mostly switched to opinion pieces that are more likely to go viral and drive subscriptions

No idea of that changed the bias

Pretty sure the Toronto Star is the one paper that has consistently endorsed Liberals in every election in the past several decades.

Besides, isn't warning about potential cuts more of a framing from the left side of whatever brand of right wing Carney is proving to be?

Postmedia has a bunch of "* Star" papers and the Toronto Sun but notably not the Toronto Star.

I was pretty sure it was the Toronto Star that was Postmedia... I may be remembering incorrectly. I'm gonna delete my comment until I can verify.
