Things are looking rough for Canada’s biggest newspaper. The Toronto Star is letting people go, ads are creeping into stories and they’re selling their own brand of coffee. Plus, they recently ran a dangerously misleading front page headline about immigration.

Freelance journalist and former Liberal speechwriter Colin Horgan co-hosts.
