What does it mean for a nation to win? Not in sports or politics, but in the everyday lives of its people? That’s the question driving How Canada Wins, a new series exploring the ideas, ambition, and determination shaping the country’s future. Over the coming weeks, journalists will connect with leaders, visionaries, and advocates working to strengthen Canadian communities. The goal isn’t just to highlight challenges—it’s to spotlight solutions. Because a great nation isn’t built in theory; it’s built in action, one bold step at a time.
We’ll be watching this series closely from across the border. It strikes us as exactly what local media should be doing and it’s exactly what it used to do, too. Readers of our Ward County Independent column have seen the word “prosperity” often. And one more thing, What happens when a country feels attacked? It gathers up, and finds a way to respond. One outcome is certain from President Trump’s blusterous diplomacy and trade war tactics — it’s inspiring nations to gather up and respond. If you read as much news as we do, you’re seeing the meta signs everywhere.
