The Catholic Register
In 1863 a newspaper called the Irish Canadian was founded by a Toronto entrepreneur named Patrick Boyle. Four years later a competitor emerged to launch the Catholic Weekly Review, under editor Gerald Fitzgerald. Those two papers co-existed for 30 years (although the Irish Canadian was forced to suspend publication for three months when its editor was jailed for crimes related to Fenian activities).
