At your service: Forecast: positivity

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Do you remember the story? Well, now it’s 2023 and the government is telling us, “We’re headed for a recession! We’re headed for a recession!” I don’t know about you but I’m fed up with recessions and COVID.


Hope is not a plan: Things to do in the snow

Located in Gimli, Man., Stringer Rentals and Power Products caters to the needs of a very unique market. With a population of almost 2,500, the small town of Gimli can trace its heritage back to 1875, when the Canadian government granted land to Icelandic settlers.


Editorial: Looking forward to 2023

I mean the title of this column in both senses. I’m “looking forward” to 2023 here to give some sense of what’s ahead both for the industry and this channel. But I’m also looking forward to the year with perhaps some more optimism than I did the last couple.
