On the other hand, CanWest Global is centre right. So for unbiased Canadian coverage?? No such animal. Get you fix from CBC, National Post Online (owned by Global) and Globe and Mail (eastern paper, but good unbiased coverage.)
Toronto is NOT the centre of the universe!! (But it can keep its SARS, thank you very much.)

Uh, doesn't izzy asper own canwest global???????
Izzy is a card carrying liberal and his son david fired the editor of the ottawa citizen last year or the year before for writing a column critical of chretien and suggesting that it was time for him to go (Russell somebody or other.) Though i do agree with your comment about the globe and mail - truly a great paper.
Sars, yeah, the Federal gov't has contributed 150 million WHOLE dollars towards aid in what has cost this city 2 billion now, and has cost the province 945 million.

Centre of the universe gets the short end of the stick - always.
As usual, we can only rely on ourselves
