As we continue to build the Western Standard beyond our Alberta base, we are excited to build partnerships with high-quality partners that share similar editorial principles like the Winnipeg Sun.”Winnipeg Sun President & CEO Kevin Klein: "We are excited to announce this content-sharing partnership between the Winnipeg Sun and the Western Standard. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to providing Western Canadians with authentic, locally-focused news and viewpoints. By combining our strengths, we can broaden our reach, enrich our content, and ensure that our readers have access to even more diverse, homegrown perspectives. The Winnipeg Sun has always been dedicated to delivering unbiased and impactful news, and this agreement with the Western Standard reinforces our dedication to quality journalism and the people we serve."
