The Ottawa Sun

Stop degrading women. The «sunshine girl» should be removed.

Ah, what a great paper!. NOT!
The Ottawa Sun doesn’t come anywhere close to the Ottawa Citizen. The Sun is your cheap version of «news», both in terms of cost and content. If, for whatever reason, you actually want to buy a copy, it’s only 25 cents on weekdays, or a dollar in other areas, depending on where you live. Though they do have sections for local and International news, I find that most of their reporting is on sports, entertainment, and other things that aren’t necessarily of any great importance. I’m not even sure how this paper stays alive, since I’ve honestly never even seen anyone reading it.
I’m quite liberal in my views and beliefs, so this conservative paper isn’t even something I would consider reading unless I found on the bus somewhere and I was really, really bored, or passing by and wanted to know how the Sens game went.

This certainly isn’t our finest newspaper but sometimes the Sun is good for a few things… like guessing their «punny» headline each day. Or if you’re a girl you can put on a bikini and in the summertime you stand a great chance of being found by one of their reporters and being the front page «story».
They actually do have a great sports section and do a good job of covering some stories like crime. It’s an easy to read paper as it’s a tabloid but I’d never pay money to read it.
In fact, I actually prefer the free Metro over this paper.
If you’re visiting Ottawa or if you’re from here and looking for good coffee shop or weekend reading pick up an Ottawa Citizen or national paper instead.
