Windsor Star

Windsor Star

The Windsor Star is the daily newspaper for Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and is part of the Postmedia Network. It is published from Monday to Saturday. The newspaper operated out of its original office at 167 Ferry Street from 1923 until 2012, after which it relocated to 300 Ouellette Avenue. The publication started as the weekly Windsor Record in 1888 and became the Border Cities Star in 1918 when it was acquired by W. F. Herman. In 1935, it was renamed the Windsor Daily Star after several smaller communities merged, and it officially became the Windsor Star in 1959. Even after W. F. Herman's passing in 1938, the newspaper continued to thrive under the leadership of his wife, Adie Knox Herman, along with Hugh Graybiel and W. L. (Lum) Clark.

    The CUSMA free trade agreement in its current form isn’t working, particularly in anchoring assembly production in Canada, Beatty says in a paper released Thursday by the C.D. Howe Institute. “We must go into these negotiations with an aspirational goal,” said Beatty, who retired last year after nearly 27 years with the world’s largest automaker. “We have to avoid the Canadian position of just keeping the status quo,” he told the Star. “We’ve seen the plant closures of the past quarter century.
