The Toronto Sun is a conservative English-language daily tabloid published in Toronto, Canada. The Sun is the successor to the Toronto Telegram, a conservative broadsheet stopped print in 1971. With strong editorialized style and sensationalist titles, the paper strives to compel the attention of Toronto readers. Some features use extremist tactics to push the editorial point of view. It is not unusual to find liberal leaders caricatured or compared to distasteful role models like Adolf Hitler. A subsidiary of Quebecor, the paper has a subscription base of about 400,000.

The uniquely positioned Toronto Sun has been highly successful since its inception in 1971. Unlike other Toronto daily newspapers, The Toronto Sun does not offer home delivery during the week. Eighty-five percent of the weekly circulation is purchased as single copy every day in one of the most competitive markets in North America. As such, it must publish a compelling newspaper people want to read and find easy to buy. It has maintained its distinctive approach to local news, sports and entertainment. The Sun brings its readers an entertaining, informative mix they just can't get elsewhere, with plenty of clear, strong opinions.

The Toronto Sun was first published in November 1971 by founders Douglas Creighton, Donald Hunt and Peter Worthington, after the demise of The Toronto Telegram. The Toronto Telegram subscriber lists were sold to The Toronto Star but the vending boxes were kept as were 62 staffers from The Telegram. The story of "the little paper that grew" is the stuff of legend, an entrepreneurial success with a rich tradition of never resting on its laurels. Most recently, The Toronto Sun, part of Sun Media Corporation, was acquired by Quebecor Inc. on January 7, 1999.

In Jim Slotek’s review of the film All Hat published in yesterday’s Toronto Sun, the late Bruno Kirby was listed as one of the stars. In fact, it is Luke Kirby who stars in the movie, and he is very much alive. The Sun apologizes to Luke and regrets the error.
