The Toronto Sun is part of Postmedia, an American-owned chain that exercises strong editorial control and is basically Fox North.
Canadian Civil Liberties Association seems legit, but the Canadian Constitution Foundation is part of the Koch Atlas network, slipping far-right American money into Canadian politics.
That doesn't mean that they're wrong, but what they say should be examined carefully for fish hooks.

We don't have any clue whether atoms are "empty" or not. This is because our human-scale concepts do not adequately describe reality at the atomic and subatomic levels.
We can only describe experiments' results as probabilities. That is, whenever we look atoms are as Sagan described: made of small concentrations of matter like the electrons and the nucleus. When we don't look and let particles evolve, well... by definition, we don't know. But we do know how the probabilities of outcomes of experiments evolve over time. And that is what the "cloud" is. Indeed, it's not a direct description of the atom, sorry. I can understand that the two concepts tend to overlap for a working scientist in the field, but they are clearly not the same.
In short, we should be perhaps teaching people about the limits of what we can know and explaining why would be more critical than a sterile chat about cheesy imaginary abstractions that make little sense scientifically but are easy to explain to people who haven't studied quantum physics.
