Left leaning!
The Spec would be a great local paper if it wasn’t run like a “Left Wing” rag. Articles and comments all the time knocking the Tories.
If there was an alternative I would cancel my Spec subscription tomorrow.

Spec
Everything is repeated multiple times. Old news stays on for days. It should be setup more in a newspaper format. Not enjoyable at all.
Not as good as Toronto Star app
Same company, different app layout. I’d like to be able to look up pages as I can with the Star. Alternatively, I must take a photo of the item, crop it to share. Please update the app so I can read it like I do the paper version.
Too difficult to access all parts of the news
I’d like to be able to access all parts of the paper, but it’s difficult. And then some stories are listed for weeks on end and others show up multiple times. I feel like if I had the physical paper I’d be seeing a lot more news.
Spec: 5 stars
wonderful local news coverage. hard-working reporters and editors. a valuable asset in difficult times, when journalism matters massively.
thank you to all for … again … your hard work and diligence. 🙏
one quibble: while i respect and admire susan clairmont’s work *very* much, i do not think editors should permit her to use last names for the Bad Guys while using first names for the Good Guys. the value-laden inconsistency is at odds with straight-up news (and crime) reporting. i know SC is not doing straight-up reporting in the way, say, fallon hewitt is, but still, it’s too heart-on-sleeve for me and i suspect for some other readers too.
