''Le Droit'' (established on March 27, 1913) is a Canadian daily newspaper, published in Ottawa, Ontario. Initially established and owned by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the paper has been published by Gesca since 2000. ==History== The newspaper was launched at that period as a tool to condemn Regulation 17, an Ontario legislation that restricted education in French at that time. Today, it defends federalism in Canada as well as provincial jurisdictions. It is still involved in the protection of francophone rights in Ontario, notably advocating for the survival of the Montfort Hospital during the government of Ontario premier Mike Harris. In the 1960s, ''Le Droit'' tried to extend its market into Northeastern Ontario, including the North Bay, Timmins and Sudbury areas, but quickly abandoned the project due to high costs. Originally published as a broadsheet, it switched to tabloid format in 1988, following an 11-week strike by the pressmen. The newspaper also had a previous strike in 1982. In 2001, Gesca, a subsidiary of Power Corporation owned by Franco-Ontarian Paul Desmarais acquired the paper from Conrad Black's Hollinger, who owned it between 1987 and 2001. In the eighties, it belonged to Montreal-based Jacques Francoeur, the founder of Sunday weekly ''Dimanche-Matin'', who built the Unimedia chain which included ''Le Soleil'' (Quebec City) and ''Le Quotidien'' (Chicoutimi, now Saguenay). He acquired ''Le Droit'' from the Oblates. The publisher is Jacques Pronovost since 2007. Before him, it was led by Claude Gagnon (2002–2007), Pierre Bergeron (1993–2002), Gilbert Lacasse (1987–1993) and Jean-Robert Bélanger (1953?-1987). Managing editors: Jean Gagnon (presently), André Larocque (2006–2010), Michel Gauthier (2001–2006), François Roy (1994-2001), Claude Beauregard (1994), Gilbert Lavoie (1991–1994), André Préfontaine (1989–1991), etc. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le Droit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
