"The Toronto Star is probably a socialist-leaning newspaper"

To put it mildly.
The vile red Star is our largest circulation 'newspaper' - though like all old media that's now dropping nicely - based, not surprisingly, in Canada's largest & most 'diverse' urban area.

It's the de facto mouthpiece of the Trudeauite left wing of the Liberal Party & big labor but will quite often come out in support of the openly socialist NDP ... although generally only between elections.
It's relentlessly politically correct & stridently pro feminist to such a degree that, if it weren't for it's obsessive lunch-bucket-oriented sports coverage - likely few, if any, white heterosexual males would still read the damned thing.

Picture the NY Slimes ... and then some.
As example, back in the 1930's, it dutifully re-printed all of the Slimes' infamous Walter Duranty's 'stories' praising Joe Stalin & outright denying the very real genocide then on-going in communist-occupied Ukraine.
