Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Toronto Sun shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Toronto Sun offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Toronto Sun at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Toronto Sun? Wrong! If the Toronto Sun is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Toronto Sun then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Toronto Sun? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Toronto Sun and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Toronto Sun wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Toronto Sun then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Toronto Sun site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

{{Infobox Newspaper |name = Toronto Sun |image = |type = Daily newspaper ] |foundation = 1971 |owners = Sun Media ], conservatism|headquarters = Toronto Sun Building,
333 King Street (Toronto), Toronto, Ontario ] daily newspaper published in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is published as a tabloid and is known for its daily "Sunshine Girl" feature and for its populist conservatism editorial stance.

History The Sun was first published on November 1, 1971, the Monday after the demise of the Toronto Telegram, a conservative broadsheet. As there was no publishing gap between the two papers and many writers and employees moved to the new paper, it is today generally considered as a direct continuation of the Telegram, and the Sun is the holder of the Telegram archives.

The Toronto Sun is modeled on British tabloid journalism, even borrowing the name of The Sun (newspaper) newspaper published in London, and some of the features, including the typically bikini-clad Sunshine Girl, who was on the same page as the British paper. (The Toronto paper, however, has never had a "topless" Sunshine Girl, unlike its British counterpart.) News stories in the tabloid style tend to be much shorter than those in other newspapers, and the language Sun journalists' use tends to be simpler and more conversational than language used in other newspapers.

As of 2003, the Sun reportedly had a Monday through Saturday circulation of 200,000 papers and Sunday circulation of 400,000.

The Sun is owned by Sun Media, a subsidiary of Quebecor. Torstar, the parent company of the Toronto Star, once attempted to purchase the Sun. The paper, which boasts the slogan "Toronto's Other Voice" (also once called "The Little Paper that Grew") acquired a television station from Craig Media Inc. in 2005. CKXT-TV is the new face of Toronto 1.

The Toronto Sun's first editor was Peter Worthington who remains a columnist for the paper. He was succeeded by Barbara Amiel who, in turn, was succeeded by John Downing, Lorrie Goldstein and Linda Williamson. The Editoral page editor today is Rob Granatstein, Glenn Garnett is Editor-in-chief and Mike Burke-Gaffney is the Managing Editor. The publisher and CEO is Kin-Man Lee.

Editorial Position Editorially, the paper has a populist stance and sees itself as siding with the average/ordinary person in government and taxation topics. It generally follows the positions of neo-conservatism in the United States on economic issues and traditional Canadian/British conservatism. Editorials promote individualism, self-reliance, the police, and a strong military and support for troops. For instance, cartoonist Andy Donato drew a cartoon comparing David Miller (Canadian politician) to Adolf Hitler after he refused to allow a debate on Chief Julian Fantino's contract renewal. (Senior Associate Editor Lorrie Goldstein apologized after Miller and the Canadian Jewish Congress condemned the cartoon.)Katherine Harding, "Hitler cartoon is ‘despicable,' Miller says", Globe and Mail, 24 July 2004, A9. The Sun also criticized Miller's flip-flopping on the issue of whether to renew the yellow ribbon decals on emergency vehicles (proponents argued that the decals showed support for the troops, while opponents claimed that it was an endorsement for the war in Afghanistan). Miller initially said that he supported the troops but refused to intervene to extend the campaign beyond September; after the deaths of several soldiers he changed his position and voted for the decals.. Editorials condemn high taxes, high gas prices, and perceived government waste.

Despite its conservatism, the Sun has two prominent left-wing columnists, Sheila Copps and Sid Ryan. During the 2006 election, the Sun was strongly critical of a poster that attempted to link Ryan to the Irish Republican Army.

The Sun strongly criticized the Liberal Party of Canada over the Sponsorship scandal, which involved the misuse and misdirection of public funds intended for government advertising in Quebec. The paper's headings have been controversial. The day following a federal election call by Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin of the on May 24, 2004, the Sun ran a front-page picture of Mr. Martin along with the headline "Throw the Bums Out!", as the Liberals supposedly wanted a renewed mandate before the results of the Gomery Inquiry became public and as this would not give the Conservatives time to consolidate. Several weeks prior to that headline, when former Progressive Conservative Party of Canada leader Joe Clark insinuated he would support the Liberals despite being implicated in the scandal, rather than the newly-minted Conservative Party of Canada in an impending federal election, the headline in the Sun the following day read "Joe Blows".

During the era when Pierre Eliott Trudeau was Prime Minister, and Joe Clark was leader of the official opposition, cartoonist Andy Donato lampooned both of them extensively. Joe Clark for years was drawn wearing children's mittens (attached to his suit with string), a reference to the time his luggage went missing on a trip to Israel. The final cartoon of the series came when Trudeau's airplane was hit by a bus, and pictured a puzzled Trudeau staring at the bus while one of his aids held up Clark's mittens and said, "We don't know who the driver was, but we found his mittens."

Sister papers The Toronto Sun's format has given rise to sister Sun tabloids in major markets across Canada, namely the Edmonton Sun, the Calgary Sun, the Ottawa Sun and most recently the Brampton Sun and York Sun, weekend-only papers distributed as sections of the Toronto edition. The Winnipeg Sun was originally launched by independent interests, only later coming under common ownership to the Toronto Sun, which subsequently elicited a redesign in Sun Media style.

The Vancouver Sun is not owned by Sun Media, but by CanWest Global. The Vancouver Sun is a broadsheet, not a tabloid; the Vancouver Province, also owned by CanWest Global, is that market's traditional tabloid daily.
