The Sun, Vancouver's largest daily newspaper (1994 average paid circulation Mon-Thur: 192 609, Fri-Sat: 260 230), first appeared as The VancouverSun, 12 February 1912, "to consistently advocate the principles of Liberalism." Under publisher Robert Cromie and his sons, notably Donald Cromie, the Sun tended to support the Liberals but was often critical of them.
Not until its chief rival, The Vancouver Daily Province, suffered a prolonged labour dispute (1946-49) did the Sun emerge as the leading journal of the province.
The majority of Cromie family holdings in Sun Publishing Co were sold to FP Publications Ltd in 1963, and in 1980 SOUTHAM INC bought the newspaper.
The VancouverSun is a daily newspaper first published in the Canadian province of British Columbia on February 12, 1912.
The Sun is a broadsheet newspaper and is not part of the Sun Media chain that operates tabloid papers in Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton.
When the Sun began operation, it was published at 125 West Pender Street, just around the corner from The Province, its rival newspaper at the time.
