Wait, when has Canadian News Media outside of public broadcasting not been corpwned?

Yeah "corporate owned" is intentionally vague and just stirs up confusion IMO.

Canadian media and the general public need to start calling a spade a spade and use words like "monopoly" and "oligopoly" instead.

Toronto Star is a "corporation" that is being bought by PostMedia (another "corporation"), centralizing more of our media landscape and bringing us closer to a "monopoly".

Par for the course in Canada unfortunately.
