This is not 'foreign ownernship'. Postmedia is a Canadian News Agency it has nothing to do with the US. It's ownership (broadly), origins, headquarters, management, staff, operations, sales, revenue, even stock listing etc. - everything is Canadian. That there might be some incorporation somewhere is notable, but not important. Trudeau Sr. is not a reliable source of opinion on this, he hugely influenced the CBC charter and re-wrote it in his own parties ideology, influencing a generation of Canadians with his political ideals.

It is majority owned by an American company. It is foreign owned. What you're describing are domestic employees, not owners - at best, it’s Canadian operated. Surely under this model you wouldn’t object to Postmedia being sold to Alibaba or Tencent? Would that transfer change your perceptions of the publication or what they said about Xinjiang, hypothetically, the Michaels or the PRC? If so, why would you not have the same reaction today in re: sensational articles about our government functioning effectively, our healthcare system, or about softwood lumber? How about what happened with the C-Series/A220? Trudeau Sr was PM for almost 16 years, here’s one of the few people with direct experience, and I don't think it's a big extrapolation to say he knows a thing or two about foreign policy with respect to America.
