I moved from Alberta in 2009 and I love Saskatchewan. Do some roads need fixed? Of course. Is there some funny business with land around Regina? Sure. Could things be improved? Yes. But in my opinion we live in the best country in the world and Saskatchewan is the best province in this country. It's a free country we can all live wherever we want. I choose Saskatchewan.

I thought Alberta was God's Country.....or was the advertising slogan about the Alberta Advantage like John Deere's advertising campaign about them being best?

farmaholic reporting from the slum.....

Well forage, I've lived in Mb most of my long life, 5 years in Regina and i year in Lethbridge.
Mb is not as bad as Ontario and Quebec from what I can see, but our gov't is so rotten that they don't even try to hide it, and BiPole proves it. Add on that provincial helicopter deal costing 10 times what it should. Then government tenders kept secret, sometimes work not even tendered, just awarded. I drove OTR 7 years through the states and one winter Minny was putting in new overpasses on 694, "ring road" of Minny. They shut down the south side one weekend and put in 6 overpasses and opened on Monday. Then did the same on north 694 another weekend. Here a small bridge on hi way 3 took 2 years, and was covered in so they could "work" on it in the winter. Absolutely no government authority on collusion and unfair trade practices, 91.9 for reg gas with oil at $US36 per barrel. The legal system for sale, try going to court to protect your property and get shellacked. The education system in public schools is a joke, kids know its better to get a gov job like Dads than an education. There's more, the opposition doesn't bring any of this up in the upcoming election.
But, still better than some provinces.
I always say, the best people in the world live in Saskatchewan. Drop in to any small town restaurant and sit down and have a friendly conversation with anyone, only parts of Mb like that, lots of places your likely ignored after a "hello".

Good post Klause, you have identified a lot of truth about what we take for granted in Saskatchewan.
We have reduced the ratio of Saskawhiners to Saskawinners which is noticeable in the attitude in the province. 👍

Hopefully Manitoba can take the first step to being a great province again and rid themselves of their socialist regime and culture of defeatism that is holding them back.

I posted this thread on here because there's so many guys complaining about this that and the next thing... the message was supposed to be "be thankful for what you have".


Manitoba has plenty of good... and yes it is far better than other provinces...


Forage, my Dad still lives in Dauphin. I haul to Bunge Altona routinely....


grassfarmer is right... where you are is how you build your judgment... Dauphin is one of the roughest places to grow up and live... I'll take Lac La Biche over it any day.

There's some good areas like Rivers, Brandon, Altona/Winkler/Morden (If you're Mennonite)....



Big thing, as someone else pointed out, in Sask, anyone will strike up a conversation... There's way less racism and "this is my town get out" mentality than large areas of Manitoba...
