What is so wrong with Saskatchewan?

At least, it must be better than Quebec in so many ways.

C'mon people. It has to have some good things to it.

SK rules dude! ( I do not know anything to SK at all)

Cool dude, thanks for the info's.

   

I am chiming in a little late

I live in Prince Albert, SK. I have lived her all my life (33 yrs). I have not had any problems with racism, violence or crime. never had my home broken into or my car, nothing stolen and never threatened or hurt.

We are close to the lakes. Christopher and Emma Lake are only 30 mins away, Candle lake 45 mins and Prince Albert national Park (Waskiseu lake) is 40. Amazing fishing and camping. We have sun all year long. There may not be mountains but plenty of places for cross country skiing

Housing prices are very reasonable. The home I bought 2 yrs ago is a 1968 bungalow, 1168 sq ft. 75K. Better than prices where you are?

   

Better late than never.

   

Sukanen must have been a lousy Ships Captain!


I assume he built it there for kicks or sommething.

   

3furkids you could take that house, fly it to Toronto, put it on a postage stamp and sell it for $1,000,000.

   

Well said and good questions. What, in heaven's name is wrong with Saskatoon? Or Regina. Our son left here after highschool and went to Ontario, but he's been back here, in Saskatchewan, for the past three years. He's involved in many sports, curling, baseball in the summer, soccer, winter and summer. I don't think he lacks for a social life. Seems to always find something to do. He volunteered for the Briar when it was here and he attended the Rolling Stones Concert. Most summers he attends the Craven Jamboree. He and his young friends find lots to do.

Life is what you make it PJB. You seem to be stuck in a rut and would like to blame it on the Saskatchewan Government. Sorry, doesn't wash. If you are going to judge life(or Saskatchewan) on the basis of which political party is in power then you are in for a tough life. I've voted against The Liberals in Ottawa my entire life and they still govern us most of the time. I wouldn't be very happy if my happiness depended on who is sitting in power in Ottawa or Regina.

I don't think anyone moving to Saskatchewan will be disappointed with the people or the great lifestyle you can make for yourself here. Plus the beauty of this Province is second to none. Just get out and look around.

   

Saskanna...I was kidding. Just seeing what kind of response I would get. I kinda like it here. Housing prices are great. Auto insurance prices ain't all that bad. Sure we are taxed but who isn't.

It is nice to see residents actually defending this province.

   

Plus, it has the greatest golf courses of anywhere in Canada. We golfed Willow Bunch last summer and it is one of the best nine holes courses around. Can't wait to do it again. Nothing flat about that course.

Thanks PJB, that's a great line-up of information.

   

Glad to hear that PJB. Glad you were "just kidding." I like it here too. I dream of living near the ocean but that's a topic for another day.

   

Saskatchewan does have it's excellent points but it does also have it's problems. Winter is a major problem but there is nothing that you or I or anyone for that matter can do about it. Summer is great but too short. Spring is muddy and fall is windy...

Now having said that...Damn what a bitch fest!


LMAO

   

Do a little research on it before you ask stupid questions and make stupid comments.
