1. Black flies
-those fuckers are like gnats! They are sneaky and hurt like a son of a bitch when they bite. I also hate anything that has been named for how it looks. How lazy is that? I shall now call that tree--tall thing.
2. Deer flies
-from what i can tell, there are no freaking deer in saskatchewan. So why the fuck are there flies named after them? I think either the bears ate them all or they got abducted by aliens (crop circles in the wheat explains their presence here) or they were killed off by the minions of SATAN. Aka :Deer flies. Bites also hurt. Alot.
3.Horse flies
-again, havent seen many horses (none) so the name seems irrelevant. Perhaps they are named so because of their freakishly huge size. They could eat birds, I swear to god. Bite? Of course! Does it hurt? Does it ever! I think i screamed like a little girl the first time i got bit.
4. Spruce beetles
-they were put upon this earth to make you fear the dirt too. All these flies buzzing around, you forget that shit down on the ground bites too until one of them takes a fucking chunk out of your leg. Fuckers.
5. weather
6. first place i ever flew so i will always remember it with fear and revulsion.
7. those gay ass berries. i understand saskatoon is so fucking boring that they needed something to make their own to feel special; but the grossest berries ever? Should have named some sort of fly after it. Saskatoonfly. You know what? Fuckers would bite. Everything here bites.

Sask is the worst prov. in Canada...the people are the whining sons / daughters of farmers. I would suggest nuking it, but no one would notice.
Why I hate Saskatoon
1) Everyone drives slower than the retired.
2) Clueless drivers that don’t respect pedestrians, crosswalks, and even traffic lights.
3) Downtown has no real attractions and is dead… all the time.
4) No downtown nightlife.
5) People think Tim Hortons has “good” coffee.
6) They elect people like MP Maurice Vellacot…. year in year out. And then complain about the conservatism of Sask Party MLAs.
7) Home to some of the highest crime rates in Canada.
8) Maybe 3 good restaurants in a sized city that should have 20-30.
9) Can’t sustain a downtown grocery store open but can keep 3 Walmarts PACKED.
10) No gas stations (sorry, the 20th and Idylewild one doesn’t count).
11) There are no public beaches in a city with a river running through it.
12) River swimming is not allowed, due to hydrophobia than actual danger.
13) Road construction projects take weeks, sometimes months, to undertake… where in other cities it would take days.
14) No sidewalks on the busiest part of Circle Drive North.
15) People are incredibly poor tippers… when they tip at all.
16) Pubs and restaurants never cut off or give the boot to drunk patrons… they are allowed to cause as much trouble as they like.
17) Has the slowest service in restaurants anywhere.
18) Frumpily dressed people everywhere.
19) No tourism industry whatsoever.... seeing a Manitoba license plate is even rare.
20) Drop in medical clinics are always backed up and you can wait 2-3 hours to see a doctor in the “Home of Healthcare.”
21) Few signs that private entrepreneurship is encouraged.
22) Excess TV time devoted to farm and crop reports when agriculture makes up less than 10% of the provincial economy.
23) Newscasts devoid of any real newsworthy content.
24) Newscasters dress and look like 80s prom nightmares.
25) Some city streets aren’t swept to clean up road dirt in the spring until… summer.
26) Crappy, expensive to ride public transit system that shuts down too early/runs too infrequently.
27) People frown on public transit as ‘for the poor people who can’t afford a car.”
28) Junk Pontiac Sunfires…. everywhere.
29) No signs of logical civic planning… i.e. they let large lots of downtown real estate sit unused for years (i.e. the old King George Hotel and put a big ugly movie theatre on prime downtown near-waterfront property.
30) The WORST public bus system EVER – people think the bus is for poor people.
31) When the city bus drivers aren’t busy driving over people, they are just plain rude.
32) Crappy roads and potholes that go without repair.
33) Unsynchronized traffic lights on main roads in the city.
34) No bike lanes anywhere…. even though the city has one of the highest number of bike commuters in Canada.
35) Crappy, apathetic service at oh so many retail shops.
36) They can’t think of a better name for historical Victoria Bridge than to call it the “Traffic Bridge.”
37) Poor city planning i.e. traffic lights, crosswalks in poor locations.
38) Insufficient number of garbage cans and maintenance in main areas….as a result, street festivals (i.e. The Fringe) are garbagefests.
39) Overweight people everywhere… and junk food/candy vending machines galore.
40) Drunk driving seems acceptable to many, and the police never have roadblocks to stop them either.
41) You have to pay to park in the Midtown Mall lot… they charge you to go to the mall to spend your money.
42) the malls SUCK—people think the Gap is high end fashion.
43) Native culture is seen as a problem and not celebrated as in other parts of Canada.
44) There is public support for a lobby group sympathetic to the cops that killed Stonechild.
45) Few boutique shops… instead, tons of big ugly box stores.
46) The Star Phoenix is a rag.
47) You can count the number of ethnic food import shops on one hand… sorry, Cheese Warehouse just doesn’t cut it.
48) No specialty wine shops… and shitty liquor store selection.
49) Road lines always need repainting.
50) No rent controls for the home of socialism.
51) People don’t pick up after their dogs—spring should be called shit melt.
52) They charge people to get a pet license for their cats and dogs but never enforce it.
53) All the city firework displays (Canada Day, the Ex) are incredibly lame.
54) City Hall does nothing about the 20th St. problem.
55) The mayor is stupid enough to make racist comments in front of Indians at the First Nations University… and still gets elected by a landslide.
Yes, I am MOVING out of province!
1. i grew up in the "hood" practically on 20th
2. everything is about "native culture"
3 i've never been robbed by a white person (i've been robbed 5 times)
4. OVER 80% of natives in saskatoon are on welfair
5. unless you grew up in the hood then you have no right to talk about racism. i've seen native children as young as 12 forced into prostitution by their own parents. so wtf do you want to celabrate that culture for? maybe seeing that shit everyday for 25 years is enough to make anyone a little racist.
Ten reasons why I love Saskatoon
1.If you can drive in Saskatoon and stay alive you can also drive in any other city including Calcutta and Bombay where only 1 in 100 drivers respects traffic code
2. In Saskatoon you never feel depressed even when you have no money to spend on entertainment. There is nothing to do and nowhere to go
3.In Saskatoon you don't need to worry about your fashion sense. Sweat pants are accepted everywhere
4.The fatter you are the more you look like a local, no need to spend money on fitness club membership
4.Perfect place for those working on their PHD thesis “Decline and deterioration of the human race” All you need is to rent a place on 20th Street and spend some time looking in the window
5.Only in Saskatoon people can pay $1200 for a one bedroom apartment earning $9 an hour
6.Saskatoon is a birthplace of a new Olympic sport discipline – driving around in pick-up truck while throwing out empty beer bottles and yelling out profanities to pedestrians
7.Saskatoon is the only place in the world where you can travel in time. Go to the Mendel's art gallery and you will pinch yourself until you bleed trying to wake up from a tasteless surreal nightmare of late 60's
8. Saskatoon has the most predictable news update in the world. There's no doubt Monday morning you will hear about people been stubbed over the weekend on Avenue W
9.People born in Saskatoon are the most loyal people to their surroundings. They can't stand mountains, oceans, forests, subways, friendly crowds, big cultural events, parades, freedom of expression, genuine culture and multiculturalism. But they are able to appreciate the beauty of emptiness !
10. Finally, the main reason why I love Saskatoon - it's the best place in the world to die ! Even after you are dead, you won't notice any difference, it will be just like another day in Saskatoon !
It's seriously all those hurting fucking rhubby indians, we need jim panqu or someone who will throw there dirty ass out on reserves. Nechi's think they are so rank but this ain't compton you all fake you hurtin stinky basturds. I ain't never been jumped 1 to 1 but you all run with your stinky friends you smoke weed with and try and act tuff. I think that indians have a real secret plan to take over saskatoon and to do it they have to overpopulate the area and walk around drunk on 22nd across the street all the time.
Hey "Anonymous" - I'm just wondering if wrote all of the previous comments? Or do we have several different "Anonymous-es"?
Whether you are one or many, it sounds like you are/were moving fairly soon...hope you are enjoying your new home. However, you strike me as the type that would have little good to say about anyone or anyplace. Have you considered anger management classes? They might raise your boiling point a bit.
Cheers.
I think the anonymous that obviously does not like the natives has the same mentality of somebody who is a local. If you are not from Saskatchewan, you notice that there is something not right with this province. It's like stepping back in time; take the 50's and the 80's throw them in a blender and you've arrived in Saskatchewan.
You're on your own here, if you're native, a panhandler, busker, poor, working poor especially with a kid, good fucking luck. I moved here two years ago and now I'm looking at I hate Saskatchewan sites, somehow it gives me comfort to know that I'm not alone. I had a good laugh...it's all true. Thank you. Anonymous "I hate Saskatchewan" and Anonymous "I love Saskatchewan"
So nice to see that others have my mentality when it comes to this throwback in time of region. Of all the horrible thigns to condemn in here, the weather, the geograghy, etc., the worst has to be the people. Isolationists that hate the world, a slow dull minded herd that can't stand those that strive for more. Ambition is a 4 letter word here, guarented to solicate unsavory comments such "you think you're so good". No, they are so pathetic. I can't wait to leave again. And I was born here.
And no Bill, we are not all the same "anonymous". You are one of the arrogant here. You believe that because the outside world has been held at bay that you are special, an alpha male. You are not. You are another small fish that that likes a small pond. Go anywhere in this world and find your worth, your worth is next to nothing, you are a brain-washed dullard. I hope you never leave here and contaminate anywhere else with your small-time atitude. I suggest that you up-grade your education and become what you believe yourself to be. AS for myself, I leave in 1 1/2 years. The countdown is on and I can't wait.
Wow, and at first I was thinking about defending this city but have quickly realized I've been in some deep denial.
It's true, Saskatoon does kind of suck. The worst is the crime and the poor drivers in this city. The low paying jobs and the fools that think their 800 sq foot bungalows built in the 1970s are worth $300,000.00. The sad part is, small towns in SK (for the most part), are like mini Saskatoons.
Wow, I'm from the east coast of the united states and I've been here for two months working for a friend. I have already noticed everything that has been said about saskatoon except for the Indians. Where I come from, we love our Indians. Our Indians have an interesting culture. I don't really won't to say anything bad about anyone's home, but this place IS in the middle of nowhere and winter is killing me. Back home it is always beautiful 12 months of the year. Some might think that must be boring but I rather be warm than freezing any day.I have traveled Canada from nova scotia to Toronto to Saskatoon and I must say that the people here are the nicest and most polite. For the ones of you that may say go home then, I am very soon.
I've lived in Regina for a year and a half now, and it would take pages for me to vent all my hatred. Although I've found many nice people here, the weather is so horrid that there aren't words to adequately describe it. It's so cold that ice forms on the inside of my windows most days. I can't believe we spent nearly a quarter of a million dollars on a tiny, crappy bungalow. The schools are proud to be mediocre. Nobody seems to know how to do their job. The grocery stores are small, inadequately stocked, often have slanting floors, and are ridiculously overpriced. I don't know why we moved here. I'm ready to get on the first train out. I haven't been the world's most loyal American, but man will I be glad to get back to the US of A!!
Why I hate Saskatoon:
1)To many god damned Ukrainians.
2)To many god damned Germans.
3)To many god damned Polish.
4)To many god damned Indians.
Every single shit mark on this shit city is a result of:
The mindless, self centered, ignorant, arrogant, gluttonist bohunks.
The power tripping, dominating, narrow minded little Hitlers.
The mindless, self centered, ignorant, arrogant, gluttonist, second only to the bohunks, polocks.
And the lazy, useless, good for nothing, macho, sons of bitches, otherwise known as 'The Indians'
If you don't like it, you can lick me where I shit. You bunch of motherfuckers.
I moved back to Saskatoon about 3 years ago. And that is, hands down, the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life.
I HATE THIS TOWN, and I call it a town because it sure as hell ain't a city like it likes to brag itself as. No, this is a town with big city ideas, and a bunch of fat, over payed, over fed, over indulged, business criminals controlling it's downward spiral into a forgettable pit stop on the way to a real city.
MY REASONS FOR HATING SASKATOON
1. The Climate...
I have to laugh... The people who live here are constantly reassuring themselves about how "great" the climate is here with inane comments like "You know it rains all the time in Vancouver" or "Oh, that terrible humidity in Ontario". My God in heaven, it's below freezing for 7 months of the year and 3 of those months are below -20C. The growing season is only 100 days long, it can freeze anytime of the year and a good part of the "summer" is cold, too.... and the bloody wind... It never stops.
Prey tell, then... Why do 12 million people live in S. Ontario and 3 million in the lower mainland of B.C. if the climates there are so terrible?... And yet Saskatchewan has not been able to get a population of more than a million in 75 years? I think it's penis envy and a huge inferiority complex.
No one wants to live here for this reason alone... No one.
2. The rednecks, lack of culture, lack of people with any taste or class...
Granted, there is lots of money here... rich farmers, rich oil workers... They have big trucks and bigger houses... These people are classless...They listen to country music, shop at Walmart, hock and spit, drink Pilsner beer, wear baseball caps in restaurants, are vulgar and crude and their idea of a fine restaurant is Mano's or The Cave... Yep, paper napkin and family dining at it's best.
Mind you, there are maybe 3 good restaurants in the city...
3.. The isolation...
God, Saskatoon is a million miles from any civilized place or big city... And I don't regard Calgary or Edmonton as either civilized or big... 18 hours to the Twin Cities is your closest link to the civilized, populated world.
4. The crime...
Highest crime rate in Canada.
5. The Aboriginals...
I am tired of all of it.
6. The Fattness...
Outside of the American Deep south, I have never, ever in my life seen so many obese, out of shape people.
7. The Star Phoenix
You call that a newspaper?... What an embarrassment... and no paper on Sunday. I think Saskatoon is the only place in the world without a local, Sunday paper... God, I miss civilization sometimes.
8. The West side...
Poverty, slumlords, crime, arson, post-industrial gloom... Almost every business closed on 20th st. from Ave. A to Ave. H. and the city pours millions into the beautification of this dismal, dangerous hunk of road. Brownfields, abandoned factories (Mitchell's, etc.) Lame and doomed to fail attempts at revitalization (Farmer's Market, The 20th St. Station) in this seedy scumscape.
9 John Gormley and CJWW...
The "voices" of Saskatoon... Good God.
10. Don Atchinson...
Our local version of "Mayor McCheese"
11. Beaten up roads...
My God, our streets look like something out of the Third world, beaten up roadways full of potholes, cracks, frost heaves... Line painting is lame at best.
As I told a visitor to here once who commented on the lack of line painting on the streets "Oh, don't worry... Just keep your vehicle in the ruts in the street and you'll stay in the right lane..."
12. The world's worst drivers?
This huge sense of entitlement (comes with loosers who have aquired wealth and big vehicles), lack of knowledge of road rules, general rudeness, excessive speed and lack of common coutesy.
This blog is too funny and yesterday, so tired of the wind, cold and leafless trees, googled "I Hate Saskatchewan". Unsurprisingly, this blog came up.
I moved here from Chicago 3 years ago. My husband is working at the university. We have met some nice folks here, but I miss home. I miss culture, restaurants, the opera, theater,and just some sophistication.
The weather is simply nasty... I really do not know how people can live here and this is someone from Chicago talking!
One of oddest things I have found about living here is how people celebrate mediocrity and boorishness. Just google "You know you're from Saskatchewan..." and see for yourself. People here are proud that they're redneck, boorish, and totally unsophisticated. Yikes.
Another aspect of living here is the so called "Tall Poppy Syndrome" that is rampant and is encountered almost daily.
Everyone here thinks that anyone who leaves this wretched place is some kind of traitor... That every person who has moved away to Alberta, Toronto, America or where ever wants to come back. I don't think so. It will always be home to people who leave, but the grass is sometimes MUCH greener on the other side.
Those left behind here often hold these people in contempt. It seems to be a negative thing here if you leave to better yourself and get more opportunity for yourself or your loved ones.
I hear this time and time again here. It's very pathetic.
As I side note of things I like about Saskatchewan... I love Saskatoon berries, quarky but interesting, I love all the lakes up north and woods. You have to drive for at least 1 full day to get that from Chicago. I also like the humidity-free summers (compared to Chicago). I think it's kind of quaint when people here think 80F is hot. Come to Chicago when it's been 95F for 2 weeks and you could swim in the humidity. That being said, I don't like the freezing cold summer nights here, though.
I like the fresh air in the summer.
Interesting place, this Saskatchewan. I certainly will have some stories when I return home next year.
I moved back to Saskatoon for about 4 years, that was about 5 years ago. I have since moved back to Vancouver. (Best decision I ever made)
Saskatchewan is experiencing the after effects of a generation of in-breeding and piss-tank, baby factory women that give birth to alcohol laced retards (which is still happening).
The obesity there is disgusting.
The stupidity is mind-numbing.
The ignorance is appalling.
and the only thing worst then dealing with a fat, stupid, ignorant Saskie. Is one who thinks Saskatchewan is something special.
They use terms like "Saskatoon is booming". The only thing booming about that place is the big fat asses.
And the few things that Saskatchewan dose have that gives it a tiny part in the worlds economy is being destroyed by that provinces proven ability to implode from greed and gluttony (i.e. Potash)
But the number 1 thing that I will hate to my grave about that province is THE FUCKING ARROGANT SNOT-NOSED, TIGHT ASS WOMEN, that you would meet or at least try to meet at the bars and night clubs. The only thing tight about any of the asses in Saskatchewan was the attitude attached to the big fat ass.
What the fuck is wrong with you prairie girls. You should be ashamed of yourself and how bad you make all women look. In the 4 years that I lived in Saskatoon I only went on one blind date with a chick who lied about every physical part of herself (needless to say the date ended quick). I moved back to Vancouver last June and within 2 weeks I had met and was dating a tall, fit, athletic, beautiful girl. Why? BECAUSE I GOT THE FUCK OUT OF SASKATCHEWAN! Oh, and by the way, were still together. Another thing Saskatchewan girls can't ever seem to get right (being faithful)
It's as if women in Saskatchewan are hard wired to only date abusive rednecks. They never know the joy and inner peace of dating a real man. And for that, I pity them.
In closing I would like to say thank you to the person(s) responsible for creating this blog site. I think it should be sent along with tourist info. to anyone and everyone who might be thinking about visiting or moving there.
And to the men, women and children of Saskatchewan...
"EAT SHIT, FUCK OFF, FUCK YOU AND DIE" You have already been forgotten about.
There is one thing that I hate more then anything else in Saskatchewan;

Women that live there.
I grew up in Saskatoon from age 7, having been moved here from the States. I spent my teen years planning my get-away. I have never understood how people put up with the winters here. Never. It's not like the 3 summer months are enough to compensate for the bone-chilling, numbing cold of the rest of the year. That's my first beef with this province.
All the things most of the other posters have written I agree with. Saskatoon is so far behind they think they're ahead. They have no idea what culture is like, but you have to hand it to them, they take what they can get. Trouble is, I'm tired of having to take what I can get. I'm tired of riding my bike on roads in such ill repair that it's impossible to avoid the potholes without weaving around the middle of the street. I'm tired of walking and driving in winter on ice and snow at least a foot thick because the poor residents of Saskatoon are so used to taking what they can get that they don't think to lobby for decent snow removal. I'm tired of the ugliness, and the dirt that blows around the streets all spring because second only to the non-existent snow removal is the non-existent street cleaning, even after months of spreading dirt and gravel on the ice all winter long. I'm tired of people looking at me in disbelief when I tell them I can't stand the cold, or when I complain about the lack of a municipal recycling program. I'm just plain tired of the attitude. People here are honestly proud of being able to make do. It doesn't occur to them that things could be different, or that change is good. And the drivers? Don't get me started. Really, people, you're in Saskatoon! Where is there to go in such a hurry?
So why am I still here? My husband was born here and he likes it here. We lived in Toronto for nearly ten years and I loved it! I loved the night life and the street life and the culture and the cheap, delicious, readily available Indian food. I actually liked taking the subway, because I liked being able to get around easily without a car. I liked having somewhere interesting to go, and world-class exhibits and shows of all descriptions there if I wanted to go. Sure, there were downsides - pollution, humidity, all that - but there are trade-offs wherever you live. In the end, there just aren't enough positives in Saskatchewan to balance all the negatives. We're leaving again, this time for good!
i hate indians the most of everything here...what i also hate is cry babies about the weather..blah blah blah most u fucks moved here from that pisshole called the USA for work or traveled here from other parts of canada for work..sure saskatchewan is shitty..but comming here cause you cant get a job in your hometown is the stupidest things ever...think about it..had to come to the middle of nowhere to make money thats more pathetic than everything about sask hope you guys freeze to death..oh and you want culture and fine resturants? GO HOME!!!!
Regina is the worst city I have ever lived or worked in bar none. I agree with most of the comments on this blog. The weather, overpriced housing , the bad basements, expensive grocery's, they are all true and spot on but the two biggest reasons I am going back to Alberta is the natives and the government. First of all the Natives are disgusting I have rental properties here have invested over one million dollars in buying and fixing them up. When I first came here I used to put 40-50 thousand dollars in renos but soon found that was throwing good money after bad. The natives will destroy your property as fast as you fix it up. I do not rent to natives in home that I have fixed up I am not that stupid but even the work I do on the outside gets destroyed by the people who live in neighbourhood. They have broke into everyone of my homes as soon as they are empty and ripped out all of the copper plumbing. Where else this happens I do not know but i swear to god it is the truth. I have picked up needles till i am blue in the face. In one home before i started i flilled a box full with needles. The tenants will break the needles off in the drywall so your workers have to be careful when doing repairs or sanding. I could write a book of stories on my experiences with tenants here. I will make my money back and hopefully a profit but was it worth it not a chance. The only thing good about the cold windy weather is that the natives stay in doors and are to lazy to go out and steal or cause trouble. I have owned properties in several cities including Calgary , Edmonton , Toronto, and never seen anything like this. Welfare is supposed to be a short term thing to help people threw a tough time but i have tenants that have been on the dole for 10-15 years. They make the cheques payable to the tenant and myself and you still have to chase t;he lazy bastards down to get the cheque and get it signed. That brings me to my last complaint the government especially the city. I get notices to get rid of graffiti on garage doors so I paint them and sure enough two days later it will be on there again. I have painted one door 8 times and had 8 city orders to clean it up. This is the only city I know of where the city prints a pamphlet to tell tenants to report there landlords if the windows let cold in your floor in slanted anything so if they do not pay there rent they just call the city and complain about the filth they live in. The problem is they caused the filth so I give them notice to move out I renovate and of course i am not going to rent to natives or welfare because now I can get 900 to 1000 for same house and do not want the house to be destroyed. That is exactly what the mayor wants here he wants the natives out but does not have the balls to come out and say it. Instead he acts like he is aware of there problems and loves them but really he is trying to rid the city of them. He is a typical politician no guts and slimy as they come. I have known him for years and so he does not fool me one bit. I will sell and move some where else where the business climate is more conducive to free enterprise but I feel sorry for the good people I am leaving behind because until the attitude of city government changes and someone comes up with a plan that gets natives out of the rut they are in Regina is not a good place to live;
I grew up in rural Saskatchewan and I'm still living here. Hopefully moving to BC this fall though, really looking forward to that.
To put it bluntly, small town and urban saskatchewan sucks. The others explained it better then I can. Its worse in the small towns where you have to deal with constant gossip, cliqueness, and hypocritical asshats.
However, the farmers aren't the problem, they've been dying off for the last decade (mostly old CCF types - not red necks - who are generally kind, decent people). Its the fuckers from Alberta who show up declaring that "they dun gonna teach you hicks how to farm hur hur".
Then they go bankrupt in a few years. Cunts. :)
Don't ask me why the small towns and cities here are full of assholes. Everyone out here has been wondering that for the last hundred years and we still haven't gotten a straight answer.
Ah..reading all these comments gets me to remembering why we left it. Saskatchewan is the buffet capital of the world (apart from Las Vegas and has none of the pseudo-charm).
Don't miss Saskabush at all. Life is better in BC.
I dont like it here much in small town sask. moved here a year ago from small town in BcC. i thought it would be cheaper to live in saskabush but it actually is no cheaper than where I was in BC. cant wait to sell my house and get back to BC.
I dont know but i love it here.
What I hate about Saskatchewan? EVERYTHING fat ladies, natives..I got attacked by 7 natives just for a bottle of coke, stupid mother fuckers.
Saskatchewan is the worst province in this country. Give it back to the indians and let them kill them selves off or just nuke the place. Its nothn but an infestation of the worst people in the world. Falt,cold boring and nothn to see. I was depressed in life and I lived there, moved back home and now the happiest man alive. Prison would of been easier to take then that place.
So if you hate saskatchewan so much,
why not just leave?
Likely the biggest thing I hate about the province is the young shits that can't appreciate the province, and display it, from Regina, to the smallest town.
Guess what - SK doesn't really appreciate your lame ass, either.
Jump on a bus, and fuck off, already.
Haters gonna hate.
I love Saskatchewan!!!
1. Most people in Sask are not farmers!farm population accounted for only 11.5% of the province
2. Most Indians are on social assistance! 1 in 10 Natives has a real job.
3. Saskatoon berries are just like blueberries! And they taste great so shut up.
