An archive refers to a collection of historical records and also refers to the location in which these records are kept

The Toronto Sun is modeled on British tabloid journalism, even borrowing the name of The Sun 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 Sun is a Tabloid daily newspaper published in the United Kingdom and Ireland with the highest circulation of any daily English-language London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. Sunshine Girl refers to Pinup girls featured in most of the daily Newspapers of the Sun chain in Canada. (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 the end of 2007, the Sun had a Monday through Saturday circulation of approximately 180,000 papers and Sunday circulation of 310,000.

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 to Adolf Hitler after he refused to allow a debate on Chief Julian Fantino's contract renewal. Andy Donato (1937 -) was an Editorial cartoonist for the Toronto Sun newspaper chain David Raymond Miller (born December 26, 1958) is a Canadian politician Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! Please understand that this article is frequently vandalized and vandalism is reverted immediately Julian Fantino, COM, OOnt, (born 1942 in Vendoglio, Italy) is the Commissioner (Senior Associate Editor Lorrie Goldstein apologized after Miller and the Canadian Jewish Congress condemned the cartoon. The Canadian Jewish Congress is an umbrella group of Jewish organizations in Canada and constitutes one of the main lobby groups for the Jewish community in the country )[3] 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. [1][2]. Editorials condemn high taxes, high gas prices, and perceived government waste.

Despite its conservatism, the Sun has had both a prominent Liberal columnist, Sheila Copps and a left-wing columnist Sid Ryan. Sheila Maureen Copps, PC (born November 27, 1952) is a Canadian Journalist and former Politician. Patrick Cyril "Sid" Ryan (born 1952 in Dublin, Ireland) is a Canadian Labour union leader Copps, however, resigned from her weekly Sun column in 2008, and Ryan writes for the paper infrequently. During the 2006 election, the Sun was strongly critical of a poster that attempted to link Ryan to the IRA terrorist group. The Irish Republican Army ( IRA) (Óglaigh na hÉireann was a military organisation descended from the Irish Volunteers, established 25 November 1913 and who

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.

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. Charles Joseph "Joe" Clark PC CC AOE (born June 5 1939 is a Canadian Journalist, Politician, Statesman Andy Donato (1937 -) was an Editorial cartoonist for the Toronto Sun newspaper chain 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.
