Allowing an american hedge fund to take over most Canadian newspapers was a huge mistake.

Who owns Quebecor Media now?

    Replying to my own question:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebecor

    Itโ€™s owned by Quebecor Inc, a fully Canadian conglomerate traded on the TSX.

    So if you arenโ€™t sure about the trustworthiness of an independent paper, thereโ€™s at least one fully Canadian media conglomerate besides CBC.

    Well the Thomson Family is Canadian. They're billionaires (so maybe not all that trustworthy) but they're Canadian. So that would Globe & Mail and Thomson-Reuters (though that would be international, not Canadian).
