I have a soft spot in my heart for the Star. Perhaps because I've been skimming/reading it since I was a kid.
For best or worse this paper most closely represents how a Torontonian views themselves, their city and the world. I'm not saying that it's accurate all the time necessarily, just the closest that any paper comes.
The sections never quite seem static and the weekend editions always have add and beefed up sections.
This paper seems to want to wear two masks: that of a major paper for a major city as well an informative local guide. It's easy enough to avoid either side of that should you desire.
I must also add that the best daily crosswords in the city are found here and the jumble is sweet too.
