The Globe and Mail is a Canadian newspaper. It is Canada's most widely read newspaper on weekdays and Saturdays.[2] It is a "newspaper of record".[3][4][5][6]
The Globe was founded in 1844 by Scottish immigrant George Brown. He was a Father of Confederation.
By the 1850s, The Globe had become a well-known daily newspaper.
The Globe and Mail formed when The Globe merged with another newspaper called The Mail and Empire in 1936.[7]
Since the 1980s, the newspaper has been printed in six Canadian cities: Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver.
At the end of 2010, the Thomson family, bought The Globe and Mail with an 85-percent stake.[8][9]
