toronto-area question

I do have more interesting things to post, but they will have to wait awhile. For now, a question.

Does anyone know of a large, international newsstand in Toronto, where you can get newspapers from all over the world? With such an international populace, I think one must exist.

In the old, pre-internet days, when the Red Sox were in the playoffs, Allan used to trek to Hotalings, then still near Times Square, to pick up the Boston Globe. The internet turned Hotalings into an anachronism; it closed its retail doors in 1999. (Which makes me question my assumption that such a place exists in Toronto...)

But even now, with access to everything online, my partner the historian (and packrat) would like to get the Boston newspapers when they win this year's World Series.

WHICH THEY ARE ONE WIN AWAY FROM DOING!!!!

Oh, am I shouting? Excuse me.

Does anyone know where one can find a large assortment of out-of-town, physical newspapers in the Toronto area?
