Definition of the toronto star in English English dictionary

Canadian newspaper, generally ranked as the country's largest. Established in 1892 by 25 printers who had lost their jobs in a labour dispute, it became prosperous after its purchase in 1899 by a group of leading citizens and maintained a liberal editorial outlook, pressing for social change while promoting stronger Canadian nationhood and a greater presence in international affairs. It established its own radio station in 1922. Its outspoken opposition to Nazism made it the first North American newspaper to be banned in Nazi Germany
