Read a few articles this morning. Only 8 pages front to back now lol Some pretty biased opinions on Justin T. I remember now why I don't read this paper any more. One sided propaganda read more

The Calgary Sun is amazing! I had the pleasure to work for this organization for a number of years, and the editorial department truly is a community, that cares about their jobs, each other (they operate more like a family that cares about each other, versus a room full of co-workers), and they do genuinely care about reporting news with integrity. What I like about their content is the variety. There is business news, community news, entertainment news, sports, opinion, general interest -- so no matter what you are looking for you, there are some short, factual or entertaining articles to enjoy. Great work, Calgary Sun! read more

Hats off to the Calgary Sun for covering the flood. I send copies home to my family in New Brunswick and they were amazed by the differences between our city newspaper ( Saint John Telegraph Journal - with no online access lol) Moving to Calgary I was amazed at what the writers said. I was amazed at not only the opinions they published but the hired writers. Maybe its because Im a small town girl, but I could not believe it. The more famous letter to the editor they printed was about how Newfoundlanders should go back to da rock .. LOL being a maritimer it surprised me that it was printed, but delighted me that it was. Yes its horrible to write, but its cool that the sun let this guy express his opinion in print. My favourite part is the opinion letters - and i noticed a lot of people are not happy about the Sunshine girl... and speaking as a woman, I like them. Ya, there dated - but I work at a dealership and I can tell you thats the first page most of the guys flip to! Regardless of your reason for opening a newspaper - at least there supporting local! BUT I HAVE TO SAY: That damn girl that always writes the recipies - man she sucks. I bet they just pay to have her little article in their paper (from a famous chef? LOL) so no one actually makes the dishes before printing. - But really, a vegeterian minstrone soup with beef broth? Really .... I mean im no expert, just shy of 22 and cooking for my husband but man at least I know that ... lol but all in all i like it read more

The fact that the front page and "top story" of today's paper was dedicated to shaming Leonardo DiCaprio for not understanding what a Chinook was is disgusting, especially when there are so many real issues worthy of our attention. The only reason I'm being gracious and giving two stars is because it's size makes it more convenient to read. read more

Calgary Sun - Print Media Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I won't comment on the merits of the writing, as the paper will likely appeal most to those of a conservative bent. The paper makes no bones about it, and that is not why I am rating the paper. The Sun reinforces the views of those who generally support small-c conservative viewpoints (not surprising for a western Canadian news outlet), just as the CBC has an obvious bias towards small-l liberal points of view. These are not reasons to rate highly, or poorly. What I can comment on are some of the business practices of the Sun. I've had several letters to the editor published in the last 15 years and I get the impression they are honest in their editorial dealings. My comments were sometimes compressed or cleaned up, but never substantially altered. I can't say I always enjoyed the one-liner from the Sun's editor that followed my comments in print, but was always happy to see my comment was given consideration. On the other hand, my concerns about the editorial tone of the paper in recent years, particularly with the most recent editor, were dismissed. In particular, the use of language previously considered vulgar, which I thought was employed for shock effect in the main editorials. The editor took the time to respond, to his credit, but dismissed and even minimalized my concerns rather than acknowledging them. I felt the paper had continued on a trend towards sensationalism which in retrospect is probably considered necessary (by them) in order to maintain flagging numbers. I began subscribing three years ago mainly because I like the tabloid size of the paper - it fits on a table at a food court perfectly, is portable, and the outlook of the paper is one that matches my own. However, home delivery has been poor. My delivery guy drives a car with no muffler, arrives at 5 a.m. to throw the paper onto the front step, sometimes hits it, sometimes lands it in a puddle or snowbank, then departs. Sometimes he overshoots and I listen to the Sunday edition bounce off the glass of my screen door, or put dents in my siding. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all. The Sun's complaints line rectifies the missing issues quickly enough, but in recent weeks I decided I had enough. I complained for two weeks that I wanted the paper in my mailbox. They agreed it was not an unreasonable request; people shouldn't have to bend injured backs, put on shoes and parkas to forage for papers, or fish them out of puddles. The driver disagreed, apparently, as not once did the paper make it to the mailbox despite repeated assurances from the help line staff that they were 'escalating the issue'. Either the driver wasn't getting the message, someone plain didn't care, or the help staff were lying to me. The final indignity came when the paper stopped coming altogether - my subscription lapsed due to an expired credit card. Despite my email address and phone number being on file - no one bothered to tell me. They just stopped sending the paper, on a weekend. I left the subscription lapsed. I love the idea of paper newspapers, but I suspect I will look to the National Post, or perhaps just save my money and read the news online, as much as I hate the idea. Too bad, as the short articles in the Sun were of great interest to me, and I enjoyed reading veteran reporters like Peter Worthington, and even opposing points of view from Liberal-insider Warren Kinsella. Their obnoxious driver, and the total lack of commitment to customer service on the part of the paper, has robbed them of what would probably have been a life-long customer. read more
