Is The Globe and Mail left-leaning, right-leaning or centrist?
Crosswire lists The Globe and Mail as Center within Canada's media spectrum — the grouping it uses both for genuinely centrist titles and for outlets the major media-bias assessments do not place consistently on one side. In Canada, CBC News and Toronto Star are listed as Left-leaning, while National Post is listed as Right-leaning — so you can open The Globe and Mail beside a title of a different orientation and compare the same day's front pages directly.
Read The Globe and Mail beside another title from Canada and the differences show up fastest in what leads the page. Two dailies from Canada covering the same day will usually agree on the facts and differ on the ordering: which story is worth the top of the page, how the headline characterises it, and which follow-ups get space. Those are The Globe and Mail's editorial choices, and they are easiest to see side by side. Because The Globe and Mail is listed near the centre, it works best as the fixed point in a comparison — put a left- and a right-leaning title from Canada either side of it and the direction each one pulls becomes measurable rather than impressionistic.
