Interesting that the expansion excludes the Atlantic provinces. Presumably the bulk of population growth has hit the western provinces, so I guess that’s cool?
Not suggesting that those provinces are undeserving of coverage, but speaking as someone out of Regina, Sask, we are genuinely starved for real local journalism out here. Often times, if you want local news to Regina, you might have to check a junk unit rental company’s Facebook. (this is not a joke, Just Bins is genuinely one of the only sources of local news here because real publications keep shuttering. they’re also incredibly racist and transphobic, so that really sucks for us that they’re all we really got.)
I know none of these added journalists are for Regina, but if we’re doing this bad, the grids are doing way worse.

Yeah, I don’t know if they’re focusing on more geographically spread-out areas, or what.
