The Toronto Star is Canada& #39;s largest-circulating newspaper, a venerable institution that was the inspiration for Superman& #39;s Daily Planet. They& #39;re a partisan paper in the British tradition, well understood to be in the tank for Justin Trudeau& #39;s Liberal Party.

Until now.

The paper (and its other holdings, including the Hamilton Spectator and dozens of other papers) just sold for $52m to a new Manitoba company called Nordstar Capital LP, which promised a "commitment to progressive positions and fearless journalism."

But as @CANADALAND revealed, the principles of Nordstar, Jordan Bitove and Paul Rivett, are long-time, major donors to Canada& #39;s Conservative party, which has drifted into Trumpian far-right, white nationalist territory.

And among the Tories that Nordstar& #39;s principals donated to are those same far-right/white-nationalists. For example, Rivett backed both Maxime Bernier and Doug Ford.
