Proprietà
Il Toronto Star è pubblicato da Torstar Corporation, che dal 2020 è di proprietà di NordStar Capital LP, una holding privata. NordStar è stata formata dall'uomo d'affari Jordan Bitove e dall'ex presidente di Fairfax Financial Paul Rivett, che ha preso Torstar in privati per circa 52-60 milioni di dollari canadesi. Dopo che la loro partnership si è sciolta, un arbitrato del 2022-2023 ha assegnato a Bitove la proprietà esclusiva del Toronto Star e del gruppo Metroland, rendendo Bitove il proprietario di controllo oggi.
Finanziamento

West Coast oil pipeline has yet to secure private-sector backing, Carney confirms
Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed that no private-sector company has yet committed to supporting Alberta's proposed West Coast oil pipeline, despite a July 1 deadline for submitting the proposal for fast-track consideration. The announcement came after The Globe and Mail reported that no private proponent had been identified. Carney emphasized that the agreement with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith included the requirement for a private-sector partner to construct and finance the pipeline, with shared ownership and benefits for Indigenous communities. Alberta had selected three energy firms—Enbridge, South Bow, and Trans Mountain—to assist with the proposal, but all have expressed reluctance due to financial risks and regulatory challenges. The proposed pipeline routes face significant opposition, particularly in British Columbia, where a federal ban on oil tanker operations remains in place.

Il divieto del glifosato impedisce gli incendi boschivi?
L'articolo esamina se il divieto del glifosato, un erbicida ampiamente utilizzato, possa efficacemente prevenire gli incendi boschivi.

L'articolo esamina studi e pareri di esperti per fornire una visione equilibrata sulla questione.
