Canadian farming costs don't come with press releases or ribbon cuttings. Saskatchewan alone puts eleven billion dollars into the ground each spring on one chance to get it right.

The Quiet Billion-Dollar Bet Saskatchewan Farmers Make Every Spring
Family farms across Saskatchewan are investing well over a million dollars per operation before a single crop comes in. Lesley Kelly connects that financial reality to the mental health pressures farming communities carry, and Jimmy Zoubris makes the case for why political identity across Canada is more complicated than anyone in Ottawa seems to understand.

Tim Hortons Is Hiring Local. Dunkin' Is Coming. The Donut Wars Are On.
Tim Hortons is announcing ten thousand local hires and four hundred store renovations, timed to the arrival of Dunkin' Donuts in Canada. Jimmy Zoubris and Lesley Kelly weigh the bathroom problem, the price point, the temporary foreign worker question, and whether a family of four can still eat affordably anywhere that isn't Tim's.
