#torontostar — Public Fediverse posts

That's from the #TorontoStar, as reported by #AlthiaRaj https://archive.is/tJh7H#selection-4355.0-4381.195

I'm not convinced it will be so bad, personally. It should be entirely possible to speed up environmental reviews of projects in Canada.

That said, if #StevenGuilbeault objects to current government policies, he could always leave caucus.

I think I can see why nobody wants to subscribe to newspapers any more.

The incremental cost to them of gaining my business would be very close to zero. They could charge me a dollar a year and still make money.

To be sure, expecting the #NDP to take advice from the #NationalPost is like expecting Tories to take advice from the #TorontoStar.

Opinion | I once embraced the #Zionist dream. Now I’m protesting the #genocide in Gaza on the streets of #Toronto

"When I knew I had to do something, anything, about the war crimes in #Gaza (I was haunted by my lifelong grief and outrage that no-one, no-one, no-one stood up for us when we were being annihilated in Europe) I was immediately attacked online by right-wing Jews. The usual condescending reproaches and violent insults were trotted out: I was giving aid to our enemies; I was spreading a “blood libel”; I was a #Jew-hater; I was “pro-rape”. None of these insults could touch me because I knew how ludicrously false they were. As painful as it is to lose cherished friends, I asked myself: Is this intense social pressure why so very few Germans stood up against the Nazis?"

Trump’s golden age of stupid is Canada’s chance to be smart - #TorontoStar

I love the headline, but the opinion from Bruce Arthur has a very serious part 📸.
It is in the same line of the words of VonderLeyen. We can do this without the US. Not only on trade, but also on the 2030 climate targets. With the US out of the picture, there are agreements possible the US (with Trump) won't meet.

@Trillium The #TorontoStar is a #Postmedia publication, founded by Anthony Melchiorre with a large foothold in newspapers and tabloids & known for its close ties to Republicans. It controls what we read and is not interested in advocating for Canadians nor in positioning political issues accurately. There’ll always be that far-right slant. So are we surprised they referred to #PMJT and his legacy as “ the rise and fall of Justin Trudeau”. Not his accomplishments & successes

Maybe the #TorontoStar is listening:

"We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused by the current process for canceling subscriptions. We appreciate your feedback and would like to inform you that the feature to cancel subscriptions online is currently under development and will be implemented in the coming months."

I wonder how many people have told them they won't #subscribe until they do this.

The #TorontoStar has officially adopted #FourthEstateFilth in its reporting. What an asinine, disloyal and pathetic headline it is publishing. The role of media used to be to advocate for citizens and position, political issues, factually and accurately. The #TorontoStar has no legitimacy. https://www.thestar.com/opinion/star-columnists/instead-of-a-show-of-strength-canada-is-cracking-under-threats-from-trump/article_40e07e66-d9bb-11ef-8482-976e13d88432.html

@Auxonic the #TorontoStar has joined the ranks of #FourthEstateFilth.

Toronto Star article says Ontario's Transportation Minister Buffoon tells cyclists to stay off the road where they propose to remove bike lanes. Furthermore, will ban cyclists from suing the province. Waiting for Doug Ford to tell pedestrians to avoid same streets because they slow cars down. WTF

Why doesn’t #cdnmedia call out Pierre Poilievre on his refusal to submit to national security clearance? Passing security clearance should be made law for any incumbent Prime Minister.

Are Canadian Media groups covering up the foreign interference that strives to destroy our democracy and elect a populist foreign agent simply because it suits their interests?

Is Right Wing Canadian Media complicit in handing our country to a foreign owned puppet like Pierre Poilievre?

Without #securityclearance Pierre Poilievre will never be a trusted, legitimate Prime Minister. Those informed on his clandestine support will always see him as a foreign backed agent much like Trump and Musk.

Canadians WILL fight back against foreign ownership of our Political Parties and Politicians even if #CdnMediaFail. Democracy itself is flawed if this is allowed to happen.

Pierre Poilievre needs to prove his legitimacy if he truly intends to lead Canada, otherwise he’s just misleading us.

Toronto Star Keeps Shovelling Money Elon Musk’s Way

The Toronto Star regularily attacks Elon Musk and his platform, Twitter. Yet, they keep sending Musk advertising dollars.

CTV Screws Up News Story and Toronto Star Says It’s All Google’s Fault

Is there anything the mainstream media can't blame Google for? A CTV controversy has led the Toronto Star to point the finger at Google.

My laugh of the day; I am a Toronto Star online subscriber, and got a mass mailing from the editor-in-chief this morning about some new features. It was a 700+ word single paragraph wall of text. (Click on hte image for the full effect, but I don't recommend you attempt reading it.)

Remember when media companies took pride in how they communicated? (Ya, I'm old.) #TorontoStar

#TorontoStar one tiny step closer to getting it right. If I subscribe through #Google I can apparently cancel via my Google account (online presumably). One more step and they are there. Let people subscribe (without auto renewal) and cancel via their Toronto Star account.

Why are some corporations so #CustomerHostile.

Toronto Star Publishes Facts Optional Rant Against Social Media

The Toronto Star published an article trying to further push the social media moral panic in Canada.

On the dustup over Alina Chan's #COVID19 origins editorial in the #NewYorkTimes, I think @justinling gets it right in the #TorontoStar. Evidence to date points to zoonosis as the most likely origin of SARS-CoV-2, but that evidence has been amassed in spite of the Bejing regime, and against the backdrop of some dangerously sloppy science that the #CCP manages (manipulates) within China, as well as their aggressive espionage in labs around the world (e.g. the Xiangguo Qiu fiasco in Canada).

#TorontoStar keeps sending me emails offering me deals I would be interested in but it's "noreply" so I cannot reply that I would be interested if I could subscribe for a set term (not one that automatically renews at a higher price) with easy online (no phone call necessary) cancellation.

My #TorontoStar sub just expired and I've already reached my monthly free limit. I won't even consider resubscribing till I can cancel online or subscribe for a set term without automatic renewal.

Cancelled my #TorontoStar Star subscription (had to do it by telephone) because it renews now at full price. Will not consider subscribing again until I can cancel online.

Some dog owner has yet again left poop on the sidewalk beside my house -- seriously, what is wrong with some dog owners? I am constantly finding poop left behind on my property, on the sidewalk, in the road, in my recycling bin (?!) -- so I'm glad to see multiple approaches to the lack of respect for the leash law. It feels like some dog owners (like dangerous car drivers) think the law just doesn't apply.
