Cities Are Running Out of Salt Before Winter Even Starts

Road salt is one of those things nobody thinks about until plow trucks come back empty, and this year that's happening before the first snowfall. Some cities haven't gotten a single bid for winter supply, while others are paying nearly double last year's price. 

North America doesn't mine enough of its own, which is why it ships in 8 to 10 million tonnes from places like Egypt and Chile, two weeks away by boat.

Atlas Salt (TSXV: SALT | OTCQX: SALQF) is building a mine in Newfoundland near a deepwater port where ships can reach Boston in three days. With salt, the real cost is in shipping, and CEO Nolan Peterson says the difference is so big that overseas producers could give their salt away and still come out more expensive than Atlas. The project is shovel-ready and projected to generate roughly C$188 million a year in free cash flow.

Annie Andrews

Candidate for SC, U.S. Senate

For nearly twenty years, Dr. Annie Andrews has cared for South Carolina’s children, treating everything from newborn illnesses to teenagers’ mental health struggles. As a pediatrician and a mom, she’s seen how decisions made in Washington reach directly into families’ lives. Now she’s running for the U.S. Senate to give those families a stronger voice.

Andrews is focused on making healthcare and child care more affordable, strengthening public schools, protecting reproductive freedom, and preventing gun violence. She’s also taking on political corruption, with a campaign centered on lowering costs and making government answer to the people it serves.

Her work starts with a conviction shaped by years of caring for kids: a healthier future depends on the choices we make together. She’s ready to bring that commitment to the Senate—and put South Carolina’s families at the center of those decisions.
