Editorial signature

Founded by Conrad Black in 1998 as an explicitly conservative national counterweight to the Globe and Toronto Star, the Post's opinion pages — Rex Murphy until 2024, Terry Glavin, Tasha Kheiriddin — define its brand more than its news desk. Postmedia ownership has produced a chain-wide editorial line skeptical of carbon pricing and supportive of the oil-and-gas sector, and the masthead has endorsed the Conservative Party in every federal election it has covered.
