The sun hangs low over the endless green fields of rural Canada, casting long shadows across the dusty gravel road. A few scattered houses dot the landscape, miles apart from each other. The air smells of hay and earth, and the only sounds are the rustle of wind through the grass and the distant whinny of a horse.
