All _Canadian_ Sun's are owned by the same people...and yes, they are
trashy/semi tabloid.

Canada's Papers

National Post..Not bad, a Business Newspaper
(the local papers by Thompson/Conrad Black are quite good usually)
Toronto Star..used to be quite good, left of center paper
Globe&Mail...very good, business newspaper
xxx Sun...right wing, not very good, tabloidy paper
