Who owns the globe and mail in canada

The Globe and Mail is a Canadian newspaper that is owned by Woodbridge Holdings Limited, a private company controlled by the Thomson family. The Thomson family has a long history of ownership and involvement in the newspaper industry, dating back to the 19th century.

Woodbridge Holdings Limited is a holding company that was established in 1965 by Kenneth Thomson, a Canadian businessman and media mogul. Thomson acquired The Globe and Mail in 1980, and the newspaper has remained under family ownership ever since.

In 2001, the Thomson family sold a 25% stake in The Globe and Mail to the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, a Canadian pension fund. However, the Thomson family still retains a majority stake in the newspaper and exercises significant control over its operations.

In 2010, The Globe and Mail was rebranded as a national newspaper, with a focus on national and international news, as well as business and financial news. The newspaper has a circulation of around 300,000 and is widely regarded as one of Canada's most respected and influential newspapers.

It's worth noting that The Globe and Mail is also available online, and has a significant digital presence, with millions of unique visitors each month.
