Hey there, time traveller!

TORONTO — Canada’s biggest newspaper by circulation the Toronto Star is preparing to launch a paywall for its website next year, the publisher said.
It’s the latest major Canadian newspaper to ask readers to pay for full access to online content.
“This move will provide a new source of revenue for the Star that will help support our ability to provide readers of both our print and online editions with the best and most comprehensive package of news and information in Canada,” publisher John Cruickshank said.
Earlier this year, National Post owner Postmedia began unrolling its own paywall at dailies across the country. The Globe and Mail followed last week.
Newspapers have been looking for new ways to drive revenues as more readers gravitate toward their websites. The shift is eroding print advertising revenue in favour of less lucrative online ad sales.
