The Globe and Mail is currently Canadian owned

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Woodbridge_Company

Is the company that owns it

The current CEO (term ends in September)

David has a law degree from McGill University, a BA from Queenโ€™s University and a graduate degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

The Woodbridge Company is a private holdings firm, owned and used by the Thompson family (the richest family in Canada).

They also own Thompsom-Reuters, an multinational mass news conglomerate.

once Canadian-owned and consistently centre/centre-left, is now owned by a republican-leaning American organization
