The Toronto Sun has come under fire for publishing an editorial cartoon that has been widely criticized as anti-Semitic and anti-Ukraine, as well as being accused of promoting pro-Russian propaganda. Critics have condemned the newspaper for perpetuating harmful stereotypes and fueling far-right conspiracy theories, and have called it the 'shittiest paper in the English-speaking world' with 'no moral compass' for printing such content. The backlash was sparked by a cartoon that appeared to be both pro-Putin and anti-Semitic, leading to calls for the publication not to receive taxpayer money to save it from bankruptcy. In defense of the newspaper, a response claimed that the Toronto Sun is the most pro-Israel and anti-antisemitic newspaper in Canada, arguing that the cartoon was a commentary on the $100B received by Ukrainian President Zelensky from Western governments.
Youβre wrong. The Toronto Sun is the most pro-Israel and anti-antisemitic newspaper in Canada. This is a reference to the $100B Zelensky has taken from western governments. Youβre the ones making this a Jewish thing. We have enough real enemies. No need to imagine more. https://t.co/e8tdFUblYK

The Toronto Sun is peddling dangerous, far-right, MAGA conspiracy theory fuelled propaganda that only serves Russiaβs disinformation agenda. Shame on the Sun for perpetuating these harmful stereotypes. https://t.co/D1ZcBZIbgS
Yesterday's Toronto Sun editorial cartoon managed to pro-Putin and anti-Semitic at the same time. It really is the shittiest paper in the English-speaking world. I don't want my tax money spent on saving it from well-deserved bankruptcy: https://t.co/lzRHSqOY47
Shame on @TheTorontoSun for this repellent anti semetic anti Ukraine cartoon. The editors have no moral compass for printing this. π¨π¦ πΊπ¦ π https://t.co/CJc9zyZvym
