Oh, there's the problem!

I was a little shocked by the list, but when clicking on the links it shows that the data for the Canadian publications accounts for weekly circulation, while the data U.S. publications accounts for daily circulation. So the Toronto Star has a daily circulation of about 436,694 (634,886 Saturday).

Teehee -- yep, a little fun with numbers and you can say ANYTHING. Though I suppose I could have chosen something way more risque. :)

Oh, meant to include this link too: http://mediakit.thestar.ca/details.asp?id=1&subid=25

It was so thrilling to think about 15 of the top 20 in NA being Canadian, but it was so weird until I understood.

Hey, just because y'all haven't joined the digital age yet up there... ;-)
