This is a sign of the times. The Star has a long and proud tradition of investigatory journalism. That's not something bloggers can replicate (I wish we could but).

The Toronto Star has asked all unionized and non-unionized staff to consider voluntary severance packages as the newspaper explores contracting out what could amount to more than 100 jobs in its editorial and production divisions.
In a memo to employees Tuesday, Star publisher John Cruickshank said the newspaper's goal of transforming itself into a "multi-platform news and content organization" would involve "what is likely to be the biggest restructuring of the Star's workforce in its history."
He said the newspaper is launching a "voluntary separation program" for all employees in which three weeks of severance for each year of service would be offered, up to a maximum of 85 weeks.

One more reason for the CBC....
Today the Star continues to implode, just like the Liberal Party, next will be the CBC being axed it's assets sold with the rights to Hockey Night in Canada being sold to TSN.

Those Con trolls should quit acting like 4-year olds, and it would be a better place.
I am sorry about the Star..a very old newspaper, which we need more than ever.
I just heard that the Tory candidate in the by-election in Quebec, is using taxpayers money for his camping..is Gomery around!
Just like the Lib trolls last week when the National Post was under the gun?
The Star is a Liberal rag as far as I'm concerned but I am admittedly biased, and I accept that other viewpoints have to have a champions and an outlet. I don't wish the Star ill, nor do I want people to lose their jobs. I wish certain Liberals felt the same.

This really a shocker. We get the weekend Star.The recession hits us all.
Why would anyone still read the Toronto Star? We're surrounded by the same type of biased news reporting daily, the Star is just an echo chamber that turns it up a little. Boring.
