The Toronto Mail

The Toronto Mail was a daily newspaper launched in 1872 as standard-bearer of the Conservative party in Ontario. Sir John A. Macdonald relied on the paper, which he helped start, as a medium for his message until it was taken in an independent direction by its maverick editor Edward Farrer in the mid 1880s.
