The Globe was a Canadian newspaper in Toronto, Ontario, founded in 1844 by George Brown as a Reform voice.

Its first office was on the south-west corner of King and Jordan streets on property that was transferred to him from Angus Dallas in 1850.

It was responsible for launching the careers of many men who went on to make their names famous including, Erastus Wiman, William Edwards, and Charles Harcourt.

During the Crimean War, before the era of the Atlantic cable, it boasted great sales on European mail days.

When the cable was established a reporter for the Globe, a Mr. Houston, was able to get the scoop on the England elections and release a special edition.
