Why I hate SASKATCHEWN (Part Two)
Saskatchewan sucks so much that lists of “worst things” come in multiples. So here’s Volume two of my list of 50 reasons why Saskatchewan sucks. Enjoy!
1) The BUGS (this year silkworms were the vanguard of the mosquito barrage)
2) West Nile (see #1)
3) Tax, Tax, TAX! There’s a bloody tax on everything here! They even have a separate tax to have a fire when you’re camping!
4) It’s incredibly BORING here. Really, there’s jack to do in this province (besides pay tax)
5) The government has to pay for TV ads to convince their own residents that Saskatchewan is a great place to live
6) Ridiculous price of tickets to see CFL game here
7) When you do pay to see a CFL game, one team has to be the RIDERS
8) No hockey team. Who the hell do you cheer for?!?! GO OILJETFLAMES?
9) Anti-Semitism is alive and well here (and the offenders are proud of it!)
10) Any lake below PA stinks to high heaven in summer of sulphur
11) What is considered accepted drinking culture here… well, I guess it can be called that if you consider getting smashed at a public place and making an ass of yourself “culture”
12) People take pride in “their” provincial berry. Jesus Christ, it’s a berry!
13) Everyone has hydrophobia – Don’t go in the RIVER!
14) Shittiest camping areas in Canada (imagine an empty field with parked sunfires and tents)
15) No trout, bass, or salmon fishing—just those fugly jackfish
16) Lorne Calvert’s mug as the face of government (Yes I know he’s gone now but DAMN!)
17) Provincial politics about as interesting to watch as continental plate movement.
18) Social gospel tradition – the worst of both worlds!
19) None of the province’s celebrities from here end up retiring here (Gee, I wonder why!)
20) No strip joints… WTF!
21) People are so damn cheap!
22) People don’t “get it” about Costa Maragos
23) It only has two seasons. Summer (don’t blink) and the 8 month hell-sojourn they call winter
24) So flat people get vertigo when they walk up the 2% incline of Broadway Bridge
25) No passing lanes on highways
26) People won’t pass on highways unless they can see an uninterrupted horizon.
27) The highways are falling apart (until you reach Alberta border—phew!)
28) Can’t fly out of province without a stopover in either Winnipeg or Calgary
29) Government can’t properly manage the lease situation for the garbage dump ski hill so its opens before January..,, or follow the recommendation to privatize it (gasp!)
30) Most overweight province in all of Canada and government does NOTHING about it
31) Candy machines everywhere (see #28)
32) It’s one of the worst polluters in Canada and no-one seems to give a shit
33) Worst health care backlog I’ve seen of all the provinces
34) VLTs every God damn place you go
35) No microbeers… Sorry, Paddockwood is ONE company.
36) Giant ugly roadside “attractions” like a big steel piece of wheat… gee, like you can’t wheat anywhere else in this province!
37) Many people still speak the words NDP and Tommy Douglas as though there still is a connection. The rest complain that the NDP isn’t socialist enough
38) Gay marriage is an issue that gets people riled up here, still [yawn]
39) You have to get your license renewed every year.
40) You can never find road signs showing how many kms to your destination. Are we supposed to enjoy driving in this flat wasteland in and of itself?
41) Murders on the news sometimes follow the 30 min weather forecast. Which is really most important now people?!?!
42) The astronomical price of housing – better get ready for the crash, peeps!
43) Newscasters (Hey CTV wardrobe people!) wear the same ugly tweed blazer everyday. It’s hard not to smell the 1970s right through my TV screen.
44) The airport can shut down for 3 days for construction—where on else would this ever happen?!?
45) Condo development (old Bay bldg downtown Stoon) takes three years and they’re STILL not finished it!
46) NDP Opposition gets press coverage for complaining that the new Sask Party government isn’t doing anything.
47) The province has no incentive for people to stay here yet everyone wonders why there’s a brain drain.
48) No infrastructure development to suggest that anything has changed economically in this province in the last ten years.
49) People think province “HAVE” status means something.
50) I have to live here for now!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 342 of 342I have lived all over the world, Regina is the only place where I get harassed by people that I don't know on a weekly basis. Only truly miserable people act like this, I must therefore surmise that a large portion of Regina is miserable.
U of R is a joke,
One professor stole her husbands' identity and taught engineering at U of R for almost three years before being caught. Don't you think that the people who interviewed her would have realized that she knew nothing. How in the world does someone who has no qualifications or experience get away with teaching in a university for almost three years!!! I'll tell you how- many of her colleagues must have a poor understanding of engineering. It took repeated complaints from students to force a review which resulted in her resignation in 2001, and ultimately, her arrest.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/former-u-of-r-professor-arrested-1.282739
Did you know that improper blood tests were performed at the kinesiology department of U of R from 2006 up until 2012, and that nearly 270 people were potentially exposed to other peoples' blood. How the hell does this happen at a university for six years straight. I'll tell you how- the people performing the blood work and their supervisors were TOTALLY incompetent.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/possible-blood-contamination-at-university-of-regina-1.1932091
How about the fact that the administration paid two IT employees over 100 thousand dollars for overtime that they did not work. This occurred over a period of 11 years, and now the administration is refusing to answer key questions with regards to this misappropriation. What a blatant example of corruption.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/u-of-r-employees-paid-more-than-100k-for-unearned-overtime-1.1856651
I have never heard of any of these kinds of things happening at any other university in Canada, let alone having all of them happen at the same place. U of R is a corrupt nepotistic joke, it is a reflection of SK in general.
I cannot agree on people's comments regarding Regina. When you have lived, visited, taken trips to REAL cities (all over the world) you immediately come to the realization. Regina, Sask to be exact, is nothing but the toilet bowl of Canada. It's trying to make something out of nothing. Regina will never compete with any actually city in Canada. Every year, Regina is #1 for crime in Canada. What about Pamela Wallin (from Wadena, SK) stealing $$$ from taxpayers. How about the UofR, the clown university or Canada. What about the "other" university across the street having millions stolen or misplaced and still continuously being funded by the Government. How about the new million dollar football stadium that is unnecessary. Do the taxpayers realize its a waist of money and that they will be paying for this by having their taxes raised for the next generations? Do they not realize that "someone" is taking a HUGE payoff with this project? Who is responsible for this deal for the stadium. How about the land development in Harbour Landing? Who's land did it belong to? Could be a "former" mayor wanting a payoff of some sorts? Saskatchewan is a corrupt province. What's up with the HUGE house price market? WTF??? This is only Regina, not Toronto or Vancouver. Who woke up one day and decided that we are the new East or West of Canada. There was a time when big movie productions were filmed in Saskatchewan. Why did the province kill that. What was the last big production Sask has had. That's right, Corner Gas, and they were smart to realize Sask is a dead end and killed the show. What does Saskatchewan have for an economy? Potash and the Oil Refinery. Can we say POLLUTION!!! It's all about the $$$ and not about the environment or the health of the people. Do you not see how much smoke goes up from the upgrader? Take a visit during the winter and see the gasses and smoke it releases in the air. Is that nice to breath? Do you know what the Regina Thunder Junior Football practice field used to be? Not only is is beside the upgrader, it used to be the former city dump. Everything is wrong with this city. Why do we still have train tracks on our busy city street? Why am I waiting during rush hour on Albert street, or Park street, for the train go go by. Its a province still stuck in the past, thinking its a big time player. If Regina was a bit time city, lets get some over/under passes and do this city the right way. It must be better to spend money on a stadium, art projects (like the one across for the airport on Lewvan and Regina Ave) because this is more important. Or on a new Regina logo that cost taxpayes unwanted money. Sask residents are like cattle with the blinder on, heading to the slaughter house. Its time to open your eyes and realize what is happening.
The 2 faces of people out here and the labeling is so true. People dont like conflict out here unless its 2-3 vs 1, and they will lie and manipulate to get that advantage. Got a job out here and within the first few hours the supervisor was telling me horrible things about the people under him, and whenever the opportunity came up he would start shit talking them. Work environments out here are extremely toxic.
Now that ive been out of that job trying to get back into Alberta could not get an interview for anything. Changed my address to my brothers in alberta boom 2 interviews in the first week, this province is so far behind on standards employers outside of this province dont even want the hassle of having to beat the half-assed work ethic out of sask residents.
Check this one out:

Yet another person who has potentially been exposed to HIV because of the supreme ignorance of those who do blood work in SK. Keep in mind that 270 people were potentially infected over a period of six years while undergoing blood work at U of R.
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE IN CANADA IN THIS DAY AND AGE!!!!!!!!!
Most of the people that I met in SK thought that they knew everything- but were actually very ignorant.
Dude , I highly Doubt you lived in every Province in Canada to make that judgement. As someone who has I can tell you there are far worse places to be in , count your blessings , save your money & go back where you came from. Im sure the people there will love you.
I follow the news, I know for a fact that these scandals do not happen anywhere else in Canada. And by the way I have already moved, I am much happier- the people are much nicer.
You can stay in your shit hole with your joke of an education/healthcare system you ignorant bastard.
One good thing that Sask has. The new CJFL (Canadian Junior Football League) champions for the 2013 season. The Regina Thunder beat the Vancouver Island Raiders 55-26 in the 2013 Canadian Bowl to win their first National title, today, November 9th, 2013.
I can't help.But notice that you complain of Saskatchewan being full of aboriginals and old people in one sentence, then complain of it being full of racists in the next. Seems a little like the pot calling the kettle black to me.
Lol and I'm about to apply for a job for the government of Saskatchewan... 3 yr contract... this blog and the comments sure makes me rethink.... specially cause I ain't white but Latino...
I love Saskatchewan. You can't find better people anywhere else.
Dont take any jobs in sask, once you have that black mark on your work record the only province youll ever work in again is sask
Why settle for this province when there is much better out there. If Brock Lesnar wants to move to this province, EVERYONE should get the heck out of there STAT!
The worst part is the roughrider fans there all fucking retarded the money wasted on this shitty team is unreal give me a break you stupid fucking losers along with the players who think there so good u suck shit along with the outrageous gas and power rates and dont even get me started on this diesel shortage bullshit fukin coop cocksuckers watch the fuk out!
The land of the dumb and poor and proud of it. News cast consist of 8 minutes of rushed local news so that they can get to what really matters, the RIDERS. Wages are low just the way they like it, just happy to work for greedy selfish millionaires who think their employee's are indespensible labourer's who's live's don't matter.
The people are gossipy two faced backstabbers. Nepotism thrive's here. Anti social people, just like the movie Winter's Bone, "born n bred". I thought these people only existed in movie's like "Deliverance".
Just stumbled on this site! Have read every post and just roared with laughter! What struck me funny was how the posters claiming to have high IQs, education and the most worldly, used the most vulgar and degrading language! A true showing of class and maturity. Hilarious!
There is a massive group of people in Saskatchewan; mainly in Regina and surrounding areas that is comprised mostly of First Nations people who take great pleasure in being "raunched out" as one woman called it.They shout,yell,stare,glare,verbally abuse and ridicule people they see in public.They are drunks,druggies and likely involved in gangs and you see them everywhere in Regina. They are oversensitive to any look or response they get from strangers yet,they stare endlessly in hopes of catching only a mere glimmer of a response from someone, usually a white person. They harass,bully, and intimidate other people, especially white people who they are very angry at and hate very much. So, this racism you hear about, it's a two way street; it's not just white people being unfair to other races. Alot of aboriginals really hate white people here and they go out of their way to let white people know what they think and really make life miserable for certain white people who just want to get on with their lives without these creeps intruding and abusing them whenever they go out in public.
i hope at least one person gets out of this hell hole for christmas
Hate Saskatchewan? dont let the door hit you in the ass on your way out of the province.
People here are much friendler than those in Vancouver where I lived for 30 years.
I have met as many ignorant backwards bumpkins in other provinces as here.
I cannot believe the how backwards people are here in this province. I am a professional engineer from Nova Scotia. I came here 2 years ago to do follow up work for a client that had a geothermal system put in. The people that installed it did it 100% wrong, after further investigation they did not have qualified people to do this, but misled the client that they did. Long story short they call themselves professionals in this province and fall very far from it. I was also embarrassed by so called engineers in saskatchewan(studied and given degrees in this province)were under educated ignorant slugs and do not adhere to national code and industry standards, truly embarrassing, to think they call themselves professionals, bloody sad.
Only good thing about that province is the view from the rear view mirror. Over priced cost of living, crappy roads, over taxed, people under eduacted(farmer bumpkin types)only news is local news(they are the world) which explains the hate for people out of province. Half of them think canada ends at the quebec border, which proves the theory, that the education system is flawed. High crime,angry natives, retarded drivers and I see from one post we have a bumpkin defending next of kin in this post, sad to think it has a life in this lifeless boring province. Thank god I left before they converted me to a dumb hick.
DUH , I paid 400K for my house worth 120K I am a smart saskatchewanner,DUH I pay 1.5K a month for 800 square foot apartment, DUH,I pay high taxes to NOT HAVE my street plowed after a snow storm,DUH,I am proud of it and the most important DUH, I pay 35 Bucks for a 12 inch pizza and think its just so the right thing, DUH, brainwashed mental midgets. Cant wait for the housing market to crash and teach those redneck retards what the real truth is. Oh ya, there is no boom in saskatchewan but there will be a boom when they're sad jaws hit the deck when the housing market falls.LOL.
Agree 110%...
This entire comment feed makes me incredibly sad. I grew up in SK and have gone to school in both Ontario and Quebec. And guess what? All the places i have lived in have equal good and bad aspects to them. Generalizing an entire population of people is incredibly narrow-minded and rude. The comments that go so far as to wish death and suffering upon other people makes me shocked at how someone could make such terrible statements.
What all of you have failed to realize is how much better we have than the MAJORITY of the world. This is a first world country, and we have SO much more to be thankful for. Rather than complain about everything, why not be happy to have some of those things to complain about, like a job, or a neighbourhood, or not being constantly entertained?
Make the best of what you have. And if you are so upset with your current situation, do something about it. Go see the rest of the world and maybe your opinions may change. If not, then live somewhere else that suits your desires!
Unfortunately, everyone who has made such negatives comments just affirms my opinion on the majority of peoples view on SK - negative and narrow-minded. And for those of you who have made the assumption that we are all redneck, catholic, rascist, sport loving crazies - I like to think I am an educated (accepted into one of the most competitive programs in Canada), culture loving, sport hating, atheist who supports all types of love and people. I apologize for those who made you come up with the conclusions you did, but maybe instead of staying inside making negative assumptions about an ENTIRE POPULATION and just waiting for the day to leave, why not go out and try and meet people that might change your mind?
there is no pride in workmanship what so ever. the trades are a joke
here we go again the over paid fucks think we need to pay more taxes again,sewer,water power ,school,and continue to play a shell game with the money. i never get more money to make up for this bullshit. they need their wages cut and their hands chopped off to put an end to this crap. fougeir can shove his stadium and his head up ass.
it seem that my last posted comment was removed by by people who want to hide the truth,or something mysteriously went wrong. firstly stoopid access communications ripoff crap tv,their retarded billboard at the top of my computer screen allways says - 27 brrr. change the temp or take it off ,shows how dumb you are. well here we go again more new taxes up again,power ,natural gas ,water ,sewer ,property taxes ,automobile fuel,even talk about paying for garbage now-like we havent paid for it 3 times allready,school taxes-to pay for roads ,what an amazing shell game they play with the money they take from us. the shell game should be an olympic sport,they would surley win the GOLD METAL.shit on tax collectors ,governmet ,city ,cops and parking enforcement,fuck you.anyway i bought a place away from here off the grid setup no bills cheap living.smash the tax dagger because it will keep finding your back!! the mayor says nobody takes into consideration if you can afford to pay,you know they dont care!
This may just be the best blog ever made......i need a tissue....ah man....
Your ignorant stupid cunt sucking fucks of Saskatchewan, "if you dont like it leave , Saskatchewan is the greatest place on earth" HA!You are the problem. Your ok with it being complete shit. Your are to fucking ignorant to realize what a shithole you live in. The I'm not racist, I just hate indians and foreigners province. The only reason you think its great is because your a cock sucking fuck tard like the rest of em and thats where cock sucking retarded fuck faces like you live. BURN IN HELL YOU REDNECK FUCKS! I didnt like it and I did leave. You think its ok to be a dumb white trash piece of shit fuckin ingnorant cock sucking asshole shit. The people of Saskatchewan are the dumbest, rudest meanest fucking cunts I have ever met,next to Albertans...FUCK YOU!
Well, If ya dont like it here, you can leave.
I ya all dont like it here, then ya all can just leave.
In case you haven't noticed, this is a I HATE SASKATCHEWAN blog. You don't like this blog, then you leave.
I don't get why any of you are in Saskatchewan. If you are so amazing and "cultured" then get out! It's ironic most of you talk about how everybody here judges. I'm guessing it's because you come off as pompous and "better than everyone". Toronto people are rude to eachother. Winnipeg and edmonton have high crime rates. Calgary is full of douche bags with white Oakley shades and shallow girls. I don't live there for those reasons. Hint hint assholes
Someone needs to smoke a joint. Lol. You are a psycho. See ya! Lmao
Hahaha this comments are really funny, I have lived here for almost 3 years now. Previously i have lived in a country where there is 364 days of sunshine, where there is 19 million living in the capital city and a lot of stuff to do. Living in a warmer, active and big city allows you to enjoy life more. Theres a lot of people to meet, a lot of activities to join and a lot of opportunities to learn more things. What i have notice in SK is the lacking of these 3 important things, adequate population, adequate warmer weather and more acceptance of diversity. This leads to a Boring, Damp and Depressed people. Lets face it, SK is a young growing province and has a lot to learn, I moved here to follow my wife and now after 3 years im seriously thinking about moving out to somewhere else. I dont want to spend the rest of my life shovelling snow 7 to 8 months a year lol
Is it that bad? Was thinking of coming to Saskatchewan. This blog has very important information. I ll think up some more!
No Daylight savings is the only thing I like about saskatchewan, other than that it's 10 months of winter and 2 months of bad hockey.
I moved here in August 2013 for a job. The winter was terrible-but this is Canada, so I expected that. I was bullied at my job and stood up for myself and then was let go for no reason. This was in January. So My boss fucked me over and had a smirk grin. I went threw 3 jobs while living there. See I'm a creative person with a personality. That scares the shit out of people here. I'm educated and would debate with people at these jobs. The people here are ass backwards uneducated racist fucks. Told one person that I had dated a black girl and the guy freaked drooping the 'n' bomb while regarding my ex.
People here want the same, not different. I have been here under a year and have found no one that I would call a friend. Yes, the roads are terrible, people are not friendly to outsiders, people are rude, bad drivers, back stabbers, ugly and fat.
I'm from Ontario and I'm moving back once my lease is up in the fall. I can't wait. I will never come to this terrible province again. What Sask needs is a shit load of napalm. If you enjoy the green, good luck finding it! But if you drink then this province is for you!
All that being said, I did have some great adventures here... Being an hr or so outside Saskatoon and seeing the northern lights... Never seen them so bright! Smoking a spliff in the middle of a field in the prairies at dusk in autumn... Surreal... Seeing bison up close... Grasslands National Park...
But besides that... It was horrible. It's like being in prison right now-counting down the days till I'm free.
Fucking imbreds everywhere...
Only when "insulting" Saskatchewan would you get some many people taking offence. Why they love that piece of shit province so much, I'll never understand....
Saskathewan seems friendly at first then it dawns on you a lot of people are all negative and there are lots of drunks. The people are very cheap and are not shy at trying to buy something and not paying much for it. People are trapped as they are all related through marriage with jobs and business awarded to family members, they cannot divorce. Do not start a business if you are not from here.
I live in rural sask due to my job. I find it very disturbing that many people have noticed what I have. Why does the provincial hobby in this place seem to be getting drunk? Why? Every year in this town there is an impaired causing death. Every year the kids are told that drinking and driving is dangerous. Every year we are expected to think that it's a tragedy that some kid died in a booze cruising failure. I submit that a kid in this day and age, drinking and driving that kills himself is not a tragedy... It is some much needed chlorine in the gene pool. Seriously if you can't take in the simple message that drink + drive = death then you weren't worth the air you were wasting anyway. Please kill yourself (and only yourself) in a booze fuelled vehicle roll over before passing your stupidity on to another generation. And it is generational here! A man in his 40's told his son in front of me that it was ok to drive drunk as long as he went slow and took the back roads. WTF! I have encountered some stupid things in small towns in other provinces but not this bit of "wisdom."
This is also the first place that I have ever lived that higher education is ridiculed. When my wife and I were new here we were making some acquaintances. When these acquaintances found out that not only did I have a degree, but my wife held several...people stopped talking to us. I thought maybe we had talked down to someone, until I heard a whole table of people at a local coffee shop making fun of the one and only girl in town going university from high school. I'm glad they were talking behind her back, because a true tragedy would have been that girl being too intimidated to go do something more challenging than be a hair dresser or a brood mare for some alcoholic farmer for the rest of her life.
Before you accuse me of negativity, I was optimistic about Sask before coming here. No place is perfect but this is neverland and the people here need to grow up.
I wish there was a way to post pictures on this site. I feel that words sometime cant express how ugly the shit hole is. Pictures on the other hand make it obvious.
Just so people know property values went up here just like in Newfoundland and other somewhat but not near as shitty places. It has nothing to do with wages and everything to do with interrest rates at record lows. So stop with Saskataarogance already. No one
actually wants to live here that has been
somewhere else. I get that the immigrants
flock here because compared to watching
your family be murdered or starving to death its great. Ignorance is very key and I cant stress this point enough, in living here.
I was recently in NYC, had the time of my life. Very safe there lots of culture amd individual business ownership and choice. They didnt have a faceless corporate big box stores like we have here that make every city look the
same. People were more friendly amd the weather was great. Were still freezing our asses of in this shit whole. I met some other people from Regina and P.A on the plane they said it was safer than there hometowns in sasky. There was one igonorant hick that didnt like his trip, he wouldnt be back he said, too busy. He wore a roughrider hat like anybody gave a shit about the roughriders. Lol.
We flew into a pathetic little airport and headed out to the hwy to drive accross this godforsaken place. After about an hr of driving I couldnt even see out my window the bugs literally covered my vehicle. We all know bugs are attracted to shit, so thats why there is so many is sasky. I was very depressed to be back.
You people that actually think you enjoy this place have to be either ignorant or dumb. There is a whole world out there for you to see, do yourself and future generations of your family a favor and get out of here. Years of freezing your ass off combined with your house doubling for no real reason has combined for a perfect cocktail of arrogance and ignorance. Like a fly in shit! Sask will never be Alberta or even Manitoba its geographically fucked unless you move the province. I hate Saskathewan!
They have to pay people more to live here, haha. No one cares about the roughriders. These morons are builing a $750,000,000 football stadium in a place with 1,000,000 people, meanwhile they close down hospitals and the infastructure is crippled everywhere, backwards fucks. The summers are so short, its fuckin almost July and we have only been over 25 twice maybe. House prices are crazy, property taxes compared to most of Canada are insane here. Having to drive hrs to get anywhere or flying hrs to get anywhere is exoensive too. Warming up your vehilce for 8 months of the year is costly, so is plugging it in. So tired of spending money washing the millions of bugs off my vehicle everytime i drive anywhere. Just so people know sask is far from unique, the states is filled with endless states that look like us topography wise. The only things that make us unique are terrible qualities. Like taxes, crime, weather, isolation, ignorance, negativity, bugs, no major cities, etc. Nothing to be proud of. You cant make something outta nothing.
Dont do it, where are you from? If your from a war torn region of the globe or somewhere that you are starving than by all means. Other than that forget it.
No one uses umbrellas there, lol. Not because it doesnt rain, but because no one walks there. They all drive around culturlessly to big box stores in cookie cutter chain developments. Fattest province in Canada!
Will see how the highest crime rate in Canada does for you in shit hole saskatchewan. Unless you have been in -35 for 8 months of the year with another 2 1/2 months shouldering that with mud from melting snow and a decent amount of rain, you cant say shit. Id rather live by cake eaters than savages wanting to rob you and beat you and take your cheques. You are fucking idiot, a giagantic one, i think your just a troll from saskatchewan trying to pretend you come from b.c.
Well bring some bug spray and a knife, lol. Its funny that you referred to your location as here, meaning in sask, but you hadnt left yet. I smell a troll from sask trying to bolster that shit hole province standing on this site.
Are you mental man? We have the worst carbon foot print per capita. Sure we got a bunch of emptyness to send it all into so we dont realize it. They have public transport in toronto called a subway. Alot of them live in energy efficient dwelling called skyscrapers. They walk to places, which creates culture. We drive cultureless around one person to a car from one faceless big box development to another being fat. Fattest province in canada, only places like arkansas and virginia are fatter, lol. We pollute like crazy, just cuz there is very little of us shouldnt put us on a high horse. There is very little of us cuz its sucks here, otherwise there would be a lot of us. Ya its humid as fuck there cuz if you live beside the great lakes thats what happens. -5 there is no where near -30 here you moron. My skin flakes off for 8 months of the year cuz its so fuckin dry. We have more crime problems per capita and its getting worse here native gangs galore man. Welfare capital of canada. Fucksakes man or you retarded?
The weather here is disastrous. we go through a second brutal winter, and when summer finally comes, its not even summer, its more like spring, raining for days and extreme winds. some ppl say summer is great here. no. its not.we cant even enjoy summer with the loads of mosquito's and rain for days.
Even if the film tax credit came back, goodluck film makers. the weather would ruin it for you in Saskatchewan.
Just dropped $20 washing the bugs off my truck. Can we please have so more mosquitos!
Two season in Saskatchewan Winter and Mosquitos!
Thank God I'm not the only one. I did it to myself however. After living and working most of my life in Calgary I took early retirement and decided to buy a house in Shaunavon SK. Never, ever move to a place where housing is the lowest in the country. Ever. At 74 I can't face another move, so here I'll die. That will please most of the good citizens here. Kind of looking forward to it myself.
These are the criteria for life in such a place; love hockey (I don't); love country music (I don't); love pick up trucks, the noisier the better (I don't); love cowboy culture and ball caps and poisoning the soil and highways designed to put one to sleep. And stock up on sleeping pills, lots of them, if you can find a Doctor that is. Bye bye.
Yup another 100mph wind today. Havent hit +30 yet or even swam in the lake(slough by b.c standards), water is too cold especially when the air is cool. An insane amount of mosquitos and horse flies, so I almost prefer the tornado like winds everyday. Rainfall is insane more than interior b.c so far. B.c on the other hand is hitting +30 almost daily with bluebird days all the time. Its unsettled rain and wind in shitty sask. I remember when we had hot dry summers years ago, it was the only thing decent about this province. Now the plqce is a swamp and filled with even mpre bugs than before. What a shit hole, funny website though!!
I came to Saskatchewan from the Maritimes thinking I was going to get some great work experience, instead I got some great insight as to why there is such high unemployment rates back home; Because people there work when they are at work. It takes 10 Saskatchewan people to do the job of 1 Maritimer.
1. At 12:00 I eat LUNCH, not dinner.
2. if I'm cold I'll wear a hoodie, not a bunny hug.
3. "You betcha" isn't an appropriate response to "you're welcome." Actually, it's not a real response to anything, yet people in Saskatchewan can use it a hundred times a minute.
4. The laziest RCMP officers in the universe work in Saskatchewan (officer: do you know who damaged your vehicle? me: well I have a good idea but that's why I came to you. It's one of two people. Officer: well if you don't know, we can't help you).
5. I drink coffee when I drive, not road beer.
6. And speaking of beer, there's a massive selection out there, beyond Bud Light and Pilsner.
7. What's up with ranch dressing on everything?
8. It's 2014 and there are still no recycling programs in rural areas.
9. Every year rotates on a farmer schedule and ever year is the. exact. same. People are just waiting instead of living.
10. The fields go on forever but believe it or not, there is actual life beyond them.
I just moved to SK and mostly like it. The one bone I have to pick is that when I tell people where I'm from (Ontario) their eyes just shut down a little. I can be in the middle of a great conversation and then where-you-come-from will come up, and as soon as I tell them, the light flicks out behind their eyes and suddenly I'm not worth knowing. I almost want to lie about where I'm from so I don't have to deal with seeing this happen again and again.
It doesn't happen all the time, but I would say that it DOES happen at least a third of the time. Kind of sad really. I want to see and expect the best from Saskatchewaners, why can't they return the favour?
I guess there will be prejudice everywhere and there is an idea that Ontarians are assholes (whether that's true or not). That said, I have met some amazing people here. It is the people which make this province great. You need to approach them with a positive attitude. For the most part they are so amazingly inclusive and welcoming.
I just wish that where I came from wasn't such a conversational hindrance.
I shall now enrich your life by sharing with you about Saskatchewan and BC alberta. I really, really like Saskatchewan and BC alberta. While it is becoming a hot topic for debate, it is important to remember that ‘what goes up must come down.’ It still has the power to shock the upper echelons of progressive service sector organizations, which form the last great hope for our civilzation. Keeping all of this in mind, in this essay I will examine the major issues.
In this essay I will consider the social, economic and political factors of Saskatchewan and BC alberta. In depth analysis of Saskatchewan and BC alberta can be an enriching experience. Until recently considered taboo amongst polite society, Saskatchewan and BC alberta is featuring more and more in the ideals of the young and upwardly mobile. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to socialists, whom I can say no more about due to legal restrictions. Here begins my indepth analysis of the glourious subject of Saskatchewan and BC alberta.
I couldn't agree more. The flat out (no pun intended) ignorance of the majority of the people here is appalling. They see someone who doesn't have a partial mullet, even remotely physically fit or show any interest in health or PILSNER beer in their hand and they're immediately written off as a pompous big city snob. The amount I noticed that people gossip about one another here is quite an annoyance. They don't even wait until you have fully turned around before they're clucking back and forth. I really only said clucking because I picture them as birds. Goosenecking in everyone else's business because I guess they get bored of drinking, fighting each other and fads that were old 2 years ago. Skinny little legs big giant ass as hips and skinny little upper bodies. Speaking of skinny legs flat ass all gut Natives take pride in their ability to act like hoodrats or black gangsters down south. When did it become a status symbol to intentionally sound uneducated when you speak.*hang your tongue out like a dog when you say this* aaaaaahhhhhzzziiiifff Native pride my ass every damn one is metis and they know it!! Good for you, you know 5 words in Cree. Have some respect aaaahhhhhhh they beat on white kids for disrespecting their culture when the most they know was native studies in school. From what I've seen they actually practice every last one of their traditions backwards.
I have lived in BC, Alberta, Quebec, Ontario and in Europe for 5 years. All total in about 12 cities.
I was born in Regina, it at one time was affordable and not so bad. Lately the crime rate is the worst per capita in Canada, native gangs rape, rob and pillage at will. Police here are lazy useless sacks of shit who set up radar traps to catch you heading out on the highway in the 70 -100 zone. they should concentrate on real crime namely natives!
Housing what a joke it costs more here than Ontario for a shack made of toxic MDF that is 800 sq feet. There is land as far as the eye can see but this does not stop developers from making subdivisions with streets that are one lane, you either park in your driveway or on your lawn your choice. The winters suck and the wind blows 358 days a year. The roads are shit and the taxes are totally outrageous. The former mayor Pat Fiasco left the city bankrupt. But not before announcing the new rider stadium. total cost 200 mill no wait 245 mill Hmmm! I bet it will go to 300 million for retards to get hammered puke and most likely not remember the game. All this and the stadium has no more capacity than the old one, worse parking , no roof and it cannot be used for anything else. Now do you really need to ask why the roads are shit? Why the Taxes are a joke?
As for the people yes they are fat classes slobs! If it was not for family this would be the last place I would ever live. I would move to Haiti before Regina. There the crime would be the same but its warmer.
This is Canada's Toilet Bowl. The woman are all mostly whores that look like sausages in their LuLu lemons.
Your only hope is to find a way out of this god for saken shithole.
LOL!
Wow I thought I was in the minority, due to my job I was transferred here seven years ago. I have lived in 7 provinces and the only bigger shithole is Manitoba. People here are so backward and dumb its almost hard to believe. They take it up the ass from both civic and provincial governments and have nothing to say about it. There are two hospitals both are jammed packed with fat people and natives, have no parking and you better be prepared to spend the night waiting. Don't forget Old Tommy he was the Father of medicare. They close the Plains Health center and make it into Siast WTF? The people here are the fattest, dumbest most backstabbing lowlife living parasites you will ever meet.They know one thing getting drunk and wasted on drugs, this mostly to survive the 8 months of winter. They fix the roads with a shovel full of ashphalt and never clear the streets in winter so you need a wheel alignment twice a year. There is not one good restaurant in the city they are all greek or chinese owned how do you spell ecoli? People here are the cheapest bastards alive and they will gladly fuck you out of lunch or anything else they can take.
Anyone planning to move here my advise don't even think about it, you would be better off living in Afghanistan, there death would come quickly!
Too bAD all coments arent being published on this site .selectivey many are being left out. To hide the truth about this tax trap
total fucktards
Living in Alberta and having gone to Saskatchewan a few times, I can honestly say that people from this Province are the epitome of scumbag.
They are the trailer park trash, pieces of garbage, disrespectful, always ready for a fist fight, only care about themselves.
They are worst then pawn scum!!!!!
Oh please dont be shy from where you came from. People in sasky feal threatened by anyone that comes from pretty much anywhere that isnt here. Its like they get defensive and hold it against you just because you happen to hail from somewhere more cultured or morr beautiful. They seem to think that only their properties have doubled, which feeds the newest sasktachewan trait, arrogance. They dont travel to anywhere other than, Edmonton, Las Vegas and Mexico. That means knowledge is limited as to what is happening anywhere or how those people are actually going about their day to day lives. That insures you have a vast majority of ignorant people that think their the envy of the world. So dont feel bad just leave before you get someone pregnant or get prenant, then you will be stuck in saskatchewan.
Black listed? Fuck are you a retard, you better go take it up the ass some more ya dumb fag. Hoe could one be such a stunt cunt
I couldn't agree more with this article. Everyone here is a conservative hillbilly who thinks life is about pilsner and lifted Ford trucks. it's just a bunch of anti-progressive hicks who are to culturally stuck where they are right now and don't want to try and get with the rest of the world. The subject of gay marriage here reminds me of 1915 Alabama. God forbid you even mention the word gay around here or some 15 year old 'farm boy' won't hesitate to call you a queer in a public social setting. No one here knows how to act like a human being and I have lived here for four years and still wonder why I don't move.
Regina is a second rate backwater sh**hole of a place. It's built on a lake bottom swamp. Every road, sidewalk, curb is cracked, broken or full of big heaves and holes.
The weather is extreme..... extremely cold, extremely windy or extremely hot. In any case, its always dirty and uncomfortable.
They're building a new stadium for their beloved football team that is going to cost taxpayers 2.5 million per home game for the next 25 years. The new stadium has 400 fewer seats than the old one has. Did anyone do the math on at that one?
Houses here cost about double what they're worth. Every jackass with a hammer calls himself a tradesman and/or home builder.
There's a nouveau riche class here too. It's like Duck dynasty meets Housewives of New York.
If you don't have a high paying job here, there's almost no reason to live here. It is second rate in almost every regard... possibly even lower than that.
Found this post super late in the game, but my thoughts are the same in 2015. I came here for a few months of work. How is it possible to feel so uninspired here? Saskatchewan is BORING as heck, lacks any culture and there is literally nothing to do. Transit here is also HORRIBLE. by the way, I'm in Regina. I've been told Saskatoon is a bit better...but even I don't have the motivation in going.
5th year in hell. I use to say Saskatchewan isnt the a$$hole of Canada, but u can smell it from there. Fail. It is.
The highways are as smooth and peaceful as whitewater riverbeds, with Sgi-not-responsible red signs put up in liu of repairs. Dont catch cancer here, anything before stage 4 is not detectable in sk. And the red road hazard signs ... dont mean a thing. 30 percent of the time the road is fine. No signs? Keep your eyes peeled for front-end killer potholes. Stay away from sk - go through the states to avoid it.
Well I am born and raised in Sask. I have grown up in the SE which was a small town of 9-10,000. Over the oil boom is got rank and its not my small town anymore. But because of the boom I made myself someone and I found someone. She just so happens to be from Ontario and I'm heading back with her. The boom has turned bust and sorry to say but Sask is hitting my rear view. I love this province. The people who rant on this post sound hilarious tho I must say. Sask has an amazing landscape. As do every province in Canada. 90% of these people comments lived in Regina or Saskatoon. LMAO why would you ever live there! I'd live in Alaska before those two cities. Lots of cities with 10-20,000 that are great. Housing is still retarded but thats too blame on oil. The rivers and lakes are great I have camped at over 35 and loved them. I dont know what res lake these people went to lol. Fishing is great around here! And god damn I will always love my Riders! Next chapter whats Ontario got.
"god damn I will always love my riders."
Yikes! I know a priest who might be able to help you out with that. His name is Father Karras.
It's now a year later. And I'm thrilled to be leaving this ass backwards province. Here's why:
Racism: I'm white. And I have never seen a city (Saskatoon) so clearly divided by race (in Canada) literally this community has used a river as natural boundary between Europeans and Indians. Having always been a current events type person I was appalled by the "starlight tours" of a decade ago. As a student at the time with bright rose coloured glasses I was sure at the time the city would rally and come together.I was more appalled when I came here 10 years after the fact to find a blantantly racist and one of the most hostile police/community relations anywhere I've ever been. The economic gap in Saskatoon is so striking. But what I've come to learn is that Saskatoon is a microcosm of the entire province. The cities inhabitants do not venture far from their neighborhood. I would bet their are people on the university side of the bridge who have never been west of Midtown Plaza and vice versa. And why would they? The tension is palpable here.. Tied closely in with racism is the kind of nepotism in practice the rest of the progressive world did away with in 1980. I heard a radio ad once.. Said "Saskatchewan was built on merit" should have said "was built by the so and so family and whomever family. The rest of you don't matter."
I had over the course of a year to travel around the province. Though I did not have the occasion to stay long... I can rattle off a list of towns I spent time in. All much the same
Drivers roads etc: For a province with an alleged collective slant the public infrastructure here is in the poorest of conditions bar none except Quebec. The mob over ran the construction industry there... Whats your excuse SK?? It's been covered here in this blog numerous times.. Sk drivers are dangerous. Plain and simple. Can't call it aggressive, can't call it stupid. You have to drive to do anything here so its not inexperience... It's just plain dangerous. City, rural or highway. Doesn't matter. If you're not from here and will be doing a lot of driving bring your A game. And forget about public transit. It doesn't exist as far as the rest of Canada would recognize it. For a "major" urban centers like stoon or Regina... Transit is comparable to a city of 45,000 in Ontario. Which brings me to a final point in this category taxes and investment. Lots of tax. No investment. You know exactly what that means the second you cross the AB/SK or MB/SK border on a highway.
Culture/Arts: Saskatoon makes a great effort I thought. But in vain. It doesn't exist much here. Which is too bad. Noticeable though if you are used to regular outings to galleries, performances etc. A telling sign of this may be that AM radio is strong in Saskatchewan... Saturated with the dated, boorish and dull right wing yammerings of one man day in and day out Monday to Friday for hours on end. Fortunately for the one time constituents of this omnipotent radio voice, they wised to the hot air and booted his ass out of real political work and delegated him back to the domain of AM entertainment where less damage can be done.
On first blush its a quaint province. There is little rat race here (the race is fixed and they have accepted that) in fact there is little of much here. And don't buy into the agriculture hype, its insignificant with the exception of one or two cereals, and is totally non competitive without massive subsidies...
If you're thinking of SK for small business, don't. If you're thinking SK fot quality family life don't. Unless your generational or can claim some kind of ancestry to the province.
If your employer is begging you to come to the.province because they cannot retain any talent or skill in the region. Take a hefty incentive, define the time period and plan your exit strategy the moment you arrive
I live in Sask and I DID like it here for a little while, but then I started to realize the whole province has a serious problem of delusional importance. The resources available here allow the EXTREMELY under educated to keep half decent jobs and make an alright living. The hardest part about getting a good job in Sask is, YOU HAVE TO LIVE HERE! and trust me, it's 100% not worth it, unless you don't have a brain between your ears, then you'll probably love it here. I was born here and enjoy some parts of it (the scenery and the hunting)but it is the definition of hick, literally everywhere in the province and is really the saddest part of the country.
I would really like to know wtf she thinks she is talking about. I live in Saskatchewan I paix 72000 for my beautiful four bedroom home on three lots. I renew my license every five years. Laxy get your facts straight
I live in Assiniboia Saskatchewan safe place to live and a great place to raise kidz. I bought my house a four bedroom huge fenced in yard on four lotz for 72 grand. Also I renew my license every five years. Saskatchewan does not suck. Ontario sucks
LOL, first read all the anti-Saskatchewan comments. Then read all the pro-Saskatchewan comments. It won't take long to realize how true the anti comments are, with the pro comments outright proving every single one of them when it comes to the people.
I have been living near Saskatoon now for 4 years. I came from rural Ontario. Let's just say I hate this province but I also love aspects of it. I love the camping here and the warm, dry summers. I hate the fact that because I am an outsider, people look at me like I have three heads. I have not made any close friends. I also haven't made friends because I am a female that doesn't think that my man rules me. Everyone here is so old school and it drives me nuts. The drivers suck ass! They don't know what a merge lane is, they pull out in front of you and go under the speed limit and they run stop lights constantly. Oh and God forbid there is a turn in the road. And I have noticed that people here only care about their new car, boat and house. It's not just Alberta these days. I have also noticed a lot of people, not all, are two faced snobs and I can't believe how many closet drinkers there are. Yes the small towns can be nice but I also find are the most judgmental people. I miss when people just dropped into your house, which is what they do in Ontario. If you did that here they would freak because their house isn't spotless.
You mention the racism but couldn't help but notice in your opening statement is that all that seem to be here are "Aboriginal people and old people" as if that were a bad thing. Sounds a lot like racism and prejudice goes beyond the Saskatchewan border
I find it disgusting how people can sit here and rant about all the negatives in one province. I moved to rural Saskatchewan in 2013 from the east coast and I have been enjoying it immensely. Since moving here from Newfoundland it has been a huge learning experience and a positive one at that. Although I have not had any negative experience, I did attend a workshop for work and get accused of stealing all the jobs though. I could only think "too bad, so sad, it's not stealing when your own province is doing the hiring out of province because there's no one qualified in the province."
I had a great deal of experience with health care systems between Newfoundland and Sask. Honestly, it is much better here in Sk. than it is there. The doctors at Royal University Hospital have been awesome. My son, who has had intense seizures for the last 18 years was finally able to get a surgery done to treat them. Doctors in NL said nothing could be done.
There are a lot of things here that are cheaper than they are on the east coast. Admittedly, car insurance is not one of them. If insurance was privatized instead of being run by SGI, then it would come down dramatically. Cell phone plans are cheaper because Sasktel helps to drive down the costs of the other carriers.
Some people commented about the roads. I do a lot of driving around, and I have driven from coast to coast. The highways in Sask. are a lot better than they are on the east coast. if I had one complaint though, it's that the city of Saskatoon does not use snow plows in the winter. A friend of mine lives there and told me that it is the drivers' responsibility not to create ruts in the icy snow. For all the snow the city gets, you'd think they could clear it a few times a year. Not like they are gonna go broke plowing. Smaller towns do a better plowing job.
Maybe it is my field of work, but I have not run into too many people who were not friendly and always interested to hear what I have to say about my experiences in other parts of Canada.
I think many of the comments and opinions on this blog are overly exaggerated. You could come up with a similar list from anywhere in Canada with the same closed mindedness and discrimination. People from here are no more blacklisted than from anywhere else, and no worse than anywhere else. You will get jerks from all walks of life from all parts of our nation. Get over it and move on.
Honestly, I think the bigger jerks are the ones who dedicate all their precious time bitching about other people on the internet. Grow the hell up!
You are nothing but a negative, bitter, twisted, angry "person." Take a long, hard look in the mirror. Your reflection will be an ugly one.
In the last few years I have seen most of the cities on the east coast of the USA,
Over the years most of the provinces of Canada, Toronto, Ottawa and so on. I still like Saskatchewan best. However it is changing. The honesty is gone, the hard workers are loosing and the decision making by the politicians here are flawed. Just like every other province.
We have been raided by the federal government over the years as our tax money went to developing business in Ontario. We lost our children to those jobs. We have been overlooked for years and it isn't until recently that our crime has become like the USA. Thanks reality TV and the corruption of the drug culture.
We were the first to have Medicare, your welcome.
You can still drive and get to Regina's downtown within 20 minutes.
You can still breath the air. Most of the people were practical and had common sense. Granted now we have horrible drivers and many are our spoiled non responsible youth. Again the changes here are in the so called becoming like the bigger cities. The bigger cities in the USA have their city centers surrounded by slums and ghettos. I love that you can see for miles. I love the diversity of the landscape in Saskatchewan.
The native population here has had problems with adjusting to our society and rightly so. But that was the decision of the feds not Sask. At least the feds did not wipe them out as the states tried to do.
It was not until we had more prominence in the oil industry that television weather maps and forecasters from down east did not jump over Regina completely.
I could go on and on about the way the country has treated Saskatchewan over the years. Not important until the oil money started rolling into federal coffers.
I am beginning to think I would rather be ignored because I am not impressed with central Canada I like eastern Canada, they seem to be in the same conditions the feds left us for years. But they are good people. You can keep the 401 and the taxis that charge 75 to 100 dollars to get down town from their airports. You can keep the French only signs. BC is mostly Sask. people escaping the cold weather that by the way does kill the pesky bugs and makes the world white at Christmas time.
But this comment is possibly futile because you have to appreciate the hard work that those who built this province on their own in spite of the money and interest that Saskatchewan did not receive.
So when you are eating your bread and enjoying the quality of our beef, etc. etc.
remember where they came from.
Sorry for your despair of Saskatchewan You can always go some where else and help us keep our air clean.
This New world sucks. Just like the new generations Trudeau. A prime minister that smokes dope. What a example for the youth......
Ticked Off
I fucking hate this place. I mean just fucking hate it! Some people love it, good for them. I have had nothing but a fucking hassle from every aspect from this place. It's not the land, I can handle that. It's the god damn people! I'm not from here and it's VERY common that if you're not from Sask the friends you make in Sask will not be from Sask. You people like to think you're open and warm to new people you're not! I have NEVER lived anywhere where the people were so willing to stand in the way of someone else advancements! Sask has the mentality of a 5 year old that's been spoiled. You're all so fucking worried about making a god damn decision and accepting accountability that it bottle necks every other place dealing with Sask. It's not caution, it's fear!
Regina And Saskatoon are the dumbest fucking layouts I have EVER seen from any other city! For how much you pay in taxes especially land taxes! The roads should be god damn gold! (Except Preston crossing, the side with Canadian tire) The other side you people make look like cat puke! Who laid it out a 2 year old the was playing with leggo?
And what's with the cost of land? You're in a FUCKING dessert! THERE IS LAND EVERYWHERE! Why the fuck does it cost more then on Vancouver Island or ANYWHERE ELSE! there is literally nothing but dirt in every direction.
Saskatoon Has 1,No spot teams 2, no zoo. (don't try to call that a zoo! 3, no museum 4,No art gallery (a real one) 5, no strip bars .. There is just nothing! But it cost so god damn much! 1/2 the roads in the city are closed in the summer for repairs because there didn't build them right the 1st or 2nd time!
I have been from B.C to N.S and I can say by far Sask is the shittiest fucking place to live!
As fro all you people that say (Then just leave) WE FUCKING WANT TO. Use your brain obviously something in standing in the way, Sask does that read above!
So we come here to vent. Don't like it.. Then stop fucking reading!
Sorry for your despair of Saskatchewan You can always go some where else and help us keep our air clean.
This New world sucks. Just like the new generations Trudeau. A prime minister that smokes dope. What a example for the youth......
Ticked Off
~~ You tool, there is not 1 reported fatality from pot! But whats the death count from Alcohol? Do some research.
Saskatchewan sucks, been here my whole life, 19 years, can't wait to get out. It's so damn depressing being here, probably no more fun here than in any of the three territories.
I'm really sorry about your lack of intelligence
Yay! Finally someone with their head screwed on! People are whiny little pricks and clearly idiots to not understand that every province is different and we all have different lifestyles. I agree with your 100%! This post makes me so mad
Your nothing but a whiny little shit. How about you leave? Don't let our tractor door hit ya on the way out
Lol hypocrite
Ok you idiot. I feel like you should probably learn a thing or two about climate and infrastructure before you try and talk big about our roads. Here I'll make this as easy as possible for your simple mind. When the roads freeze, they expand under the ice. And bam, there's potholes. We fix them, but the concrete only expands again. It is simply Saskatchewans climate. Leave and whit complaining you whiny prick
If you think the Urban Provinces are any better you are delusional. There is a lot of great to be had in Saskatchewan. This is from someone who wants to move back. The conservatism is an issue everywhere and you a compounding the issue by complaining about taxes when they are largely there to deter environmental destruction.
It's as good an indication as any, as to why this shithole is a shithole. If you are from Saskatchewan just ignore the blog and go back to fucking your sister you toothless, drunk, assholes.
I'm SOOO glad this topic is open for discussion!!! God Bless you (creator of this blog)
I have NEVER had so much hate in my heart for a place as much as this city, the people and the mentality behind everything makes me damn sick to my stomach.
The only people that are remotely normal are those who live in the city but travel a lot or people who have just came into the city and are not yet affected by this shit place just yet. Other than that God Damn everybody here is just damn weird and fucking SUCKS!!
Uneducated, racist, close-minded, judgmental fucks (I know this whole post is basically judging everyone BUT I have the right to do so after living in this shit hole for 15 fucking agonizing years.. correction** being fucking forced to live here because of school and low income coming in,, so I have the damn right to trash talk all you damn depressed peanut brains) fat people everywhere, men are pussies, women are all snakes, DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA lurking in every single damn corner, as soon as you feel like you've got shit on lock someone fucking finds a way to creep into your damn business and screw you over! WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THAT ALL ABOUT!!?? Bullying behaviour is fucking installed in everybody's damn brain,, I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW RUDE AND RUTHLESS PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SHIT HOLE!! Give them the exact same treatment back and they fucking bitch or get so fucking angry with you. FOR REAL?? How in the hell does that remotely make any damn sense. I NEED AN ANSWER.. I'M SO DAMN ANNOYED WITH ALL YOU FAT BITCHES. I'M NOT KIDDING ANYONE. I WOULD VOMIT IN YOUR DAMN FACES IF IT WAS NOT ILLEGAL.
Getting a decent job in this city is a damn conquest, how the fuck is it that hard to be a contributing factor to society?? All you want is to work, make money, and start doing shit. IS IT THAT DAMN HARD??? This is after 2 damn years of trying to fucking work! 2 years! Schools SUCK HERE! Would I raise my children in Saskashit?? HELL NO!! Having fun consists of parking your car in a lot and drinking beer next to it or inside it at 1AM in the morning being a COMPLETE fucking nuisance to society just in general you PIG FUCKS.. TRUCK DRIVING.. MOTORBIKE WHORES. I CAN'T STAND YOU FUCK UPS!! GO TO HELL AND JUST SIT THERE WHERE YOU BELONG! The restaurants are a DAMN joke, leisure and entertainment are supposed to get you hyped right? NOPE! NOT IN SASKATOON! If you've got a brain you'll probably suffer so much.. curl up into a ball and want to basically die. NO JOKE!!
How did I end up here you ask? Well.. I'd have to thank my uneducated father and my naive mother for making a such a silly decision of actually fucking coming to this shit hole of a city. Thank-you! I hope I enlighten some of you idiots that your city actually sucks ass and you need to change your damn ways because nobody actually has anything genuine to say about you idiots. I would rather live on an island in the middle of nowhere with a pack of wolves on the loose than in this shit hole city for one more day. BORING BORING BORING AND ABSOLUTELY DRAINING! Everyone needs a fucking smack across the face and a reality check, and these fat bitches in the city looking like dehydrated bulldogs 99% Of the time starting shit with EVERYBODY! Get your shit together or just pack your bags and get your one way ticket to hell because nobody can fucking stand your fat asses and your drama filled lives YOU PATHETIC FAT SHITS!! MISERABLE ASS LOSER MENTALITY DEATH LURKING WHORES!
THE MEN ARE CREEPS AND PUSSIES, ANNOYING THE HELL OUT OF ME! DO NOT FUCKING HONK YOUR LOUD ASS TRUCK WITH BALLS AT ME YOU SICK PIECES OF SHIT! GO TO THE DAMN BAR HOOK UP WITH A WHORE AND THEN GO HOME! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I LITERALLY WANT TO BOMB THE PROVINCE OFF THE FACE OF THIS EARTH. DISGUSTING! PEOPLE ARE SO BORED ALL THEY DO IS EAT AND GOSSIP AND GET FAT AND MISERABLE! PATHETIC!!
And yes I will move soon and when I do THANK GOD!
Saskatchewan (especially Saskatoon) you're not liked so just go to hell. FUCK YOU AND I'M OUT!
Ok, first of all, you guys don't know what you are talking about. I have been living here for over 12 years and I don't think I will ever leave. Saskatchewan is a wonderful place to live and we are not racist, doltish or addicted to alcohol. The people here are incredibly friendly, and not stuck up and wimpy like they are in other provinces. so for all of you people trivializing Saskatchewan, don't go around denigrating other provinces until yours is completely perfect.
Saskatchewan is gay as fuck. I can't wait to pack my shit and get the fuck out of here. Can't find a job anywhere in this redneck province. Raising kids is hard here. Nothing fun to do. Too many immigrants. White people are becoming minority in some areas.
Crime is high. People are two faced ass holes. I've lived in 5 provinces and 4 countries. And personally I enjoy Saskatchewan the least
You are a jackass
The people in Regina are so rude I can't stand living here I hate it here every day is torture I just keep my head down and don't talk to have anybody even when I'm talking to a friend other rude people from Regina interrupted and ruin my day it sucks to live here too I can't stand it
Thanks for this awesome post. It is extremely helpful for me. Would you mind updating your blog with more information https://www.carsforsalesaskatchewan.com
I worked in Saskatchewan a few years ago, I was never in a place where the people were so godamn rude to an outsider to the point where I couldn't get served or receive service in the local town, even the people I worked with made it very clear that you're not welcome. I wouldn't mind the attitude so much but these shit kickers have nothing to be proud of except being racist, ill mannered, culturally bankrupt and profoundly stupid.
Your right. I left vancouver to move to Saskatchewan 6 years ago. I live in a little shit hole called assiniboia. I am leaving end of september. Hubby won't leave so I am going alone.
Left 10 years ago& every so often I just go to Google maps alone to get a reality check as to what I am not missing in the province I started in.Yes was born & raised there and see why all my aunts&uncles left to never come back. Its so sad, pathetic &says something about the lack of culture in this province when they base all their hopes and dreams in an awful N.F.L. farm league team called the Riders with even a recent history with that fuckhead Jones running the team where people that gave everything to that pathetic franchise are only thrown under the bus for their services. Pathetic to a point where people in this province have replaced hanging up a beautiful provincial flag with the tiger lily in their yards with that of the Green Big S flag standing for SUCKS for the football team....4-17 in the big game worst in league history dating back to 1910 in that of a 9 team league,that in 107 years of existence. OOOOhh will hear about this from their cultish fans where you can insult God, clergy, yer grandparents, parents, but not the Riders that's a cardinal mortal sin in the eyes of Sask. people...To fans of the team ...ITS ONLY FUCKING SPORTS MORONS!!!But CFL all consuming in Sask,unlike anywhere else in Canada.The heart of this assholishness is Regina and there is not enough room or time to dwell on how awful this gateway to hell is. Was stuck there for 13 years, a number unknown to fans of the Riders in the game.Just really really really lucky got off of the island Alcatraz(Sk.)

You liberals can go back back to city just going to give the country away, don’t want to work want government to look after you lazy
grow a set its not that bad unless you live in PA witch I do but I don't complain I flip off the naturel wild life we have walking around all day and night.
They were the good people who got out before they transformed into the remai ing population. It is a province full of the kind of people that would make Ghandi go commando.
Oh, and dont forget that SKers are also delusional and full of an egomaniacal and overinflated sense of importance. Its a result of their culture of denial and mentally ill sense of "reality" .
Saskatchewan has the highest rate of incest and child molestation in canada and the least resources allocated to addressing it. Enuf said
Anyone who says saskatchewan is a good move from the island especially vagina ,I mean regina, is drunk or stoned. I moved to island cause sask. Fucking sucks no two ways about it.
well I was looking over different provinces that I would like to relocate to and was considering Saskatchewan and work there as an RN, but after reading this blog and learning how racist and ignorant the people are there, I think I will look elsewhere. Too bad too because I am working for my RN and am currently LPN and my husband is a music teacher with a music degree. I love the country, but just hearing about people parking in front of your driveway and staring at you really creeped me out!
I hate that shithole too, I even call it Shitatchewan isn't that a good one? totally suits it, ugh you couldn't pay me to go there, bet it smells like horseshit or cowshit cause of all the fucking farms, ugh, hate farmers!
I saw on "You gotta eat here" there was a restaurant in fucking shitatoon (saskatoon) and a fucking cowboy who apparently never heard of a car or truck arrived on a fucking horse, got off it and went inside, totally stupid, yeah that's what people want to see when arriving there, a big pile of horseshit from the stupid animal, gross!
to hell with shitaskatchewan, fucking shithole, ugh, I hate shitholes, and I hate that dump!
there's nothing to do there but drink and die of cancer! hardly any stores, oh wow what a exciting place!
Thank God I don't live there, cause if I did, I would leave for Edmonton in a second!
at least theres stuff to do there!
fuck that shithole, ugh.
My stupid old man was raised there and think it's the greatest place on earth, apparently he needs a brain scan cause Shitatchewan is the worst place in Canada, period!
IT SUCKS!
First of all I'll admit some uncomfortable truths.
1. Winter deserves a number one spot, nobody has use for mars like frozen desolation.
2. Oakley wearing big truck driving douche bags.. although Alberta has twice more. These people are generally unpleasant to be forced to spend any amount of time with.
3. Rampant crime in cities but hey try not to flash your borrowed status in Canada's highest crime rates.
Life is what you make it, and if you're financially forced to stay here might as well make the best of it. Would rather be uneducated here than many other parts of Canada. If life was defined in financial security-its easy to find more than min wage jobs here.
That being said Saskatchewan can be a boring place, but with endless miles of copless horizons you'll be sure to enjoy the freedom of mobility. Any 5AM highway can be turned into a test track for your new car. Saskatchewan enjoys countless freshwater lakes, full of deserted, family, or party beaches if fishing is not your thing. Magnificent skies full of storms canvas otherwise rainy days. With such a brutal champ and chump seperation winter you really should feel guilty about staying indoors on a warm day. Summer can indeed feel limitless when you have little traffic standing in your way of a fear and loathing-esque rip across the prairies. These small hick towns may have the first kinds of folks to offer you a hand if you run into trouble near the outskirts of them.
I've found that if you're looking for adventure saskatchewan holds many gems without the crowds.
However if you're longing for a warm place to live between October and may, your best bet is outside of Canada. Your dollars will go alot farther than 20$ packs of smokes, overpriced unhealthy food, lack of sun elsewhere than your face. You could live many times in the Caribbean for what they charge for life here in the sub arctic.
Even with the price and weather difference, you would always find me crawling back to Saskatchewan each spring.
this place is shit
saskatchewan is LITERALLY being run by a bunch of inbred redneck pedophile PEASANTS for whom ignorance is both a genetic predisposition AND cherished cultural pastime.
true story bro, clifford sifton had a plan and the plan was to import cheap ignant euro-trash mud farmers and all ya'all are the spawn of that shite.
sask sucks and i blame clifford sifton for exploiting the peasants and making them believe they actually meant more than cheap gullible labor for the ruling class lol
now you have a province that is literally the most racist, child rapingest (majority of child abusing sex offenders in canada are prairies peasant-stock btw), self-important shit hole of canada that has no claim to fame or personality bc it already got bred out about 20 generations ago in the fields and sow fallows of rural europe.
"These small hick towns may have the first kinds of folks to offer you a hand if you run into trouble near the outskirts of them." UNLESS you're first nations then they'll just straight up murder you in cold blood steal your kids and rape them before strangling them and dumping their bodies under a bale of hay.
its 2019 and saskatchewan STILL SUCKS. its the ignorant inbred redneck racist ahole of the entire north american continent filled with modern-day peasants who are literally descended from europe's worst white trash lowlives who also literally believe "incest is best" lol....
saskatchewan has the HIGHEST RATE of child molestation and the highest rate of child porn users (majority of whom are white, btw)
saskathewaners think its a source of pride to be a moron. their culture is willful ignorance, combined with racist violence, combined with dysfunctional incest-ridden behind-closed-doors child molestation, combined with denial denial denial
predictably, law enforcement is filled with rapey racist douchebags. justice system is filled with rapey racist douchebags. so are the schools, stores, everything is tainted by the rapey racist douchebag "culture" that defines saskatchewan. people are miserable ass fucks and have no creativity, imagination, individuality, critical thinking skills, or clue. period.
i fucking hate this province and am counting down the days until i can raise my quality of life by 1000 points by leaving.
DONT MOVE TO SASKATCHEWAN unless you like immersing yourself in peasant-rage shittiness.
when youre not from saskatchewan, its like walking into a room that stinks like dead rotting meat but no one else notices because they are the source of the smell.
Amen!
That dump Saskatchewan is a sewer and most of the people there are stupid rednecks.
Only want to talk about themselves.
Most of them are big conversation narcasists.
What's to talk about? A barren wilderness void of culture?
Overweight people with cheap haircuts and domestic cars and large trucks. Real fucking class. I feel sorry for them.
I was born there unfortunatly and spent the first 15 years of my life there.
Even had a few friends there.
I've been back a half dozen times in the last 25 years and each time went away shaking my head.
The city has NOTHING to offer. If you can do it in Saskatoon, you can do it 10 times as good elsewhere, except for other redneck towns that is.
Moved to Vancouver then California where I live now...what an improvement.
Here life exists. Better weather, opportunities, and nice people.
Lived in Berlin for a bit and London too for 3 years...now there is some culture and class!
Sometimes wished I never left Europe.
There, in Europe people know how to act and behave.
In Saskatoon, we used to get in trouble for drinking in the park.
Or swearing or spending too long in a coffee shop?
Harassed by the cops for having a few beers. Unbelievable.
Anyways, I won't go on....for any intelligent person living in Saskatoon to say Saskatoon had lots going for it is mistaken and they would be deluding themselves.
Generally speaking, small minded narrow minded people live there. They don't fit in with the rest of the world.
25 years behind the times...what a joke.
Paris of the praries I once heard? What a joke...embarrassing for them.
I say, go to Vancouver, Toronto, New York, or try Europe for awhile.
Try that, and guarantee you will not go back to that cold, cultureless, redneck hole.
Enough said!
I agree with Nuffy. 40 years ago Regina was good city. Since then Regina has turned into a shit hole. The people who were once ordinary Canadian citizens have now turned into big fat ass slobs. They lack manners-especially road manners. They don't care if they run someone down on the road because they are on their way to fill their faces with beer and junk food. Racism which was not here 40 years ago is now alive and doing very well. This is not because of the ethnic groups but the big fat ass Anglo Saxons. They are ignorant of other cultures because they have very low IQs.
I was born in Sask, raised in BC and moved back to sk due to some unfortunate circumstances. I was at a low point already when I moved back here. After having to live in this ass backword province, I seriously thought of committing suicide. Saskatchewan is the biggest pit you could ever fall in, and if you don't get out in time the long cold winters and ignorant inhabitants will slowly widdle you down until you're one of them. The longest time anyone should ever live in sask is two or three years tops in order to avoid any long term damage to your psyche or faith in humanity. Saskatchewan is Canadas asshole, the entire province is full of shit.
Saskatchewan has a lot of hateful people here. Antisemitism and xenophobia are alive and doing well here. This is because Saskatchewan is full of stupid Ukrainians. When an area is settled by these cretins the general intelligence of that area goes down to the level of idiots. In this respect immigration may be a good thing because people are coming to Saskatchewan from all over the world. These people are definatly higher up in the gene pool than the moronic Ukrainian.
İ found this blog while searching for information about people from SK. İ am not from Canada but have visited both the westcoast and the eastcoast. The reason i was researching SK is due to a female i met in the U.S. who is originally from SK. İ wanted to know if her traits were individual, cultural or both. İ see now that her traits are mostly cultural. She seems more travelled than her SK counterparts, but she is hyper-sensitive to any words which may even hint towards criticism. You cant say anything negative in her presence yet she ironically chronically complains about the most petty things. Things most people wouldnt think about. She is spoiled and selfish and immature. She gossips and simply cannot control her mouth. She double talks and spins information. Her inferences and perceptions from information are puzzling. She is hypersensitive to the word "redneck" even if you are talking about other people who harass without provocation. She seriously thinks she knows everything yet she mostly proves she knows nothing. Never in my travels have i ever met anyone as stupid and uneducated from Canada. She doesnt seem to have the ability to learn. She is in denial about anything with which she disagrees. She is very racist but is in denial about that too. She racially profiles and is so stupid that she is the only white person whom i have ever met who cant decipher that i am not white. (İ guess stupid racists cant even be intelligent about who they should be racist towards.) She lies incessantly. She is very materialistic. She projects. She dishes it out but cannot take it. İ guess her stupidity is the most striking trait. Never have i observed such stupidity and such an insular mind regardless her exposures to life. But, she is a troublemaker....a serious troublemaker and has interfered in many of my jobs just for some psychotic sick fun, i guess. But, she is so stupid that she doesnt think i know. She has lurked and cyberstalked my platform account and so has her husband (U.S. American) and their friends. Still, they are so stupid that they think i dont know that they are behind it. İ see now why she is so psychotic. SK seems to be the same. The people are not normal. They are stupid. But because they are so crazy, you dont suspect them at first, because most normal people dont harass others over trivial and normal behaviours. İ certainly can see how serial killers can be born and raised in SK. İ think they are dangerously stupid and crazy.
Excellent blog, this is!!!
This comment is the epitome of Saskatchewan pride. Thank you for providing it.
You inbred chemical imbalanced hick, none of the reason makes this Province suck .. You suck cause you listed all the wrong reasons ... They suck cause their Women Took their cousins dick and made children leading to a Pool of Crazy good Individuals that there ignorance creates tourists to hate us .. You hate them cause you are a depressed hick that is broke and stuck with them.
Worse place on the planet
I have been in numerous countries
Can't say in the universe but for sure the planet. No work nothing to do, if you're rich you can stay that way if you are poor tough luck same old. No tax base to improve anything cause why work when u can get social assistance. A check on Manitoba pretty damn close. If I did not have to take care of my mother
I would rather be anyplace else
Even starving in Africa at least I would be warm. If you say different then you must be someone who has a job inside, a vehicle or just one of those rich aholes who cares less.
It's just about time to go crazy
Get this.....If you take on a room mate (shared accommodation ) and that room mate owes sask energy money from a previous place of residence -It becomes your debt. I kid you not, the power of these crown corporations gives them the divine right of kings.
I lived in Regina my whole life most people are two faced assholes unfriendly nothing to do crime is getting worse every year avoid this wasteland
So true
Honestly, i have a strong belief that EVERYONE FROM SASKATCHARETARD SHOULD BE STERILIZED AND BEATEN TO DEATH WITH A DIRTY GARDEN HOSE BEHIND A ROTTING SHED!!! EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY USELESS IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE, AND FORM!!! I HOPE THEY ALL ROT IN THE MOST SICK AND VICIOUS WAY POSSIBLE!!!
Reviving a foregone conclusion to say that I hate the people that transplant here because they couldn’t make it where they can from and, couldn’t make it here either haha.Lots of valid posts here tho. I personally have many grievances with the land to which I was born. Some of these begrudgements I do have control over and others I don’t. I can relate to some of these that have some validity. Such as: What Florida cause sinkholes we refer to as potholes. Hensenforth the jacked up pinch-ups…..Love or leave it.
It’s been over ten years since I last visited this site and nothing has changed. These people are still so dumb it hurts. Dumb and poor with the same backward perspective. I feel like Jack Nicholson in “ one flew over the cuckoo’s nest “. Better dumb yourself down lest they find out your not one of the narcissistic Sasky hillbillies.
The 6 years I've lived in this shit hole are the worst years of my life, I can't wait to leave this insular hick filled white trash province in my past, the people are beyond two faced and will twist anything you do or say into the worst possible scenario so their small minded pathetic asses will have something else to gossip about.
