They must have found some productive folks. Where did you come from? I
can't believe you are attempting to include yourself in that category.

As I've said before, Don, you're a far cry from any of the Canadians I've
known.

If you check out the Lewis Family Farm, it looks like Mr. Lewis is the
one doing the selling, not the Halifax Staples employee. This is the
operative sentence in the article: "Financial arrangements aside, he
said he and the farm manager would teach the couples everything they
know about organic farming, so that three to five years down the road,
they would be in position to return to Canada with all the skills needed
to operate their own organic farms."

He is looking for people to come work on his farm for 2 to 3 years as
"interns". Interns is another way of saying "for free". It looks like
the Canadians, including the Chronicle Herald bought it hook, line, and
sinker.

Organic Farmer is actually a thriving business in the US, the problem is
most people in the US don't want to come work on the Lewis Farm for free.
