      Here’s another article that doesn’t require a sign-in.

        re: “no one knows why” i’ve heard it was like department store catalogue regional marketing copy. i know that doesn’t fully explain “why” but it’s at least a bit of an explanation.

          I’ve heard so many explanations I’m pretty sure Saskatchewan is like the Joker, coming up with a different lie every time someone asks.

            Also like the Joker, Saskatchewan is fictional

        I’ve only been to Saskatoon in Canada, so assumed all Canadians did that…
