Default Where do you get your news from?

Just curious which sites or media you all get your news information from? I get most of my news from bourque.org or drudgereport.com.

Reddit, Ottawa Citizen and Ottawa Sun online.

I actually find out a lot of news on CP too. This was the first place I found out about the guy mailing body parts to the federal parties' headquarters.

1) CBC from smartphone
2) CP

Pretty much in that order. I like the smartphone viewing of CBC better than the website. I look at the "offbeat" stuff on CBC to find weird things like "Milky way to smash into andromeda in 4 billion years" or "Scarf-Bearing pig spotted by pitsburgh motorists".

QR77 news in the morning that wakes me up, usually the 7am recap.
Then reading Metro on the bus.

Mostly CBC and news websites.

There really isn't much news on CP. Maybe a major breaking story here and there gets discussed, but not a good run down of actual news.

Can't be bothered with CBC, Star or Sun News. All 3 are a joke.
