Canada’s Best Newspaper …
Unfortunately lacks the resources of The NY Times or the Washington Post, and, in the English newspaper tradition, tends to tilt politically - slightly liberal, while Canada’s Other Best Newspaper, the Globe&Mail, tilts the other way.
There’s also the Toronto Sun, a plain old-fashioned British TABLOID! with a near-neked nice-lookin’ girl on the same page every day.
Both the Star and G&M are essentially national papers, available with different names and local news replates from the Atlantic to the Pacific, serving as good sources of both national and major city/regional news, but one (of each, if you want everything except the tababe is good enough if you’re watching from afar.
be aware - the “right wing” G&M is really old-fashion centrist, far left of what the US GOP has left behind. Canada is essentially a kinder, politer, mostly saner nation than the US, unfortunately lacking Constitutional protections for minorities, who, outside of religion (all Canada’s taxpayers support only Anglican and Catholic parochial schools - religious Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc., not to mention Atheists pay a terrible price, insulting and the nation’s acceptable bigotry), would never be stomped by Nazis or Klansmen. That’s simply unacceptable behavior.
Finally something usable
I wanted the first one to say that The Star Team has done a commendable job in fixing the navigations bug. Giving 4 Stars.
Good job.
Another dud from The Star Team. They introduced the back button but the page never scrolls to your original position. Absolutely pathetic development team!
Whatever happened to the back button! Every time you access an article the only way to get back to the previous page is to tap the Home Page link in the menu and then scroll down to your original location.
Really poor navigation design. Not sure why such a user interface was adopted.
Doesn’t recognize paid subscription after login - useless
I’m a paid, active subscriber to The Star and The Spec. After successfully logging into The Star, clicking on Settings and then my name, the field says subscriber to The Spec - not The Star. As such, I can’t read more than 3 articles before being told I need to subscribe to read more, and I ALREADY AM A PAID SUBSCRIBER. why have you not fixed this bug? The app is useless! 0 stars if I could rate 0.
