Tabloid (newspaper Format)
A tabloid is a newspaper format characterized by its compact size, smaller than a broadsheet. The term originates from the 19th century, when the London-based pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, Burroughs Wellcome & Co. used the term to describe Tablet (pharmacy), compressed pills, later adopted by newspapers to denote condensed content. There are two main types of tabloid newspaper: red tops and Compact (newspaper), compact, distinguished by editorial style. Red top tabloids are distinct from broadsheet newspapers, which traditionally cater to more affluent, educated audiences with in-depth reporting and analysis.

European-Canadian Culture In Ontario
European Canadians are Canadians who can trace their ancestry to the continent of Europe. They form the largest panethnic group within Canada. In the 2021 Canadian census, 19,062,115 people or 52.5% of the population self-identified ethnic origins from Europe. People may nominate more than one ethnic origin in the census.

Migratory movements of Finns between Canada and the United States was very common as well. In the early 20th century, newly arrived Finnish immigrants to Canada quickly became involved in political organizations, churches, athletic clubs and other forms of associational life.
