Wildfires, Horses, and Hollywood: What's Really Happening in Rural Manitoba
The land is extremely dry this spring, raising questions about preparedness, government response, and the media’s portrayal of such disasters.
Trent and Scott also talk about how they met, sharing a glimpse into the relationships that connect rural voices across borders. The conversation shifts to the horse business, where Scott notes an increase in high-quality horses, but also a clear reminder that supply and demand continue to steer the market. From breeding to sales, the fundamentals haven’t changed—even if everything else seems to be in flux.
Things take a surprising turn as Scott shares how his land was scouted for a television series. In a matter of days, crews arrived, sets were built, and cameras started rolling. Why Manitoba? It’s a hotspot for film crews thanks to breathtaking landscapes and government incentives that make it easier—and cheaper—to film in Canada. This episode offers a rare look at how rural life intersects with global trends, Hollywood, and hard truths.
