No need for rudeness.

I wasn’t laughing at you but at the previous post. I did want your opinion on whether you think minor league sports would work in that area.

Well they might be getting a team so…..
Does @prairie_girl have an opinion?

Well, she does usually have opinions, but @prairie_girl is from Manitoba so I can't fathom why she'd care any more about this than the rest of us.

Honestly Buzz, we appreciate you trying but really, it's the equivalent of asking you the same question about rural Idaho. How in heck would you have any idea?

I though it was equivalent to a near over state (ex. NY/CT). Each state kind of knows each other’s culture. I figured she may know where sports usually work. It was meant as a compliment not an insult. Sorry if it was taken as such.

Do you have a general opinion as a Canadian that may know something about that area?

Not a clue; but if you really want to pursue the topic, Saskatoon has no major-league sports teams. Perhaps there would be some sort of support for such things?

But why don't we speak of other things for a bit! Here's something interesting and a unique solution to a fairly unique Canadian situation. What do you think of this approach? What would you do about nuisance wildlife in your city parks?

We have this problem in America. We call them the annoying Canadian residents. I’ll look up what the EPA has done about it. I’ll post back soon.

No you don't! do you really?

And they are protected to a point under US law.

I have no idea, but I doubt it. As a Manitoban, we are born with an instant dislike of all things Saskatchewan. Our Blue Bombers (CFL team) have an intense rivalry with the Roughriders. The Banjo Bowl is epic and has huge, HUGE bragging rights attached.

Their population is only around 275,000 so I’m not sure they have the population to support many teams. There may be some minor league hockey teams, but I have no idea.

LOL I hadn’t heard of that. I’m glad I don’t live closer to downtown. First the convoy, and now the birds.

Kind of the way Midwesterners think about Northeasterners

Thanks for explaining that. I hope I didn’t hurt your feelings. I have no clue about Canadian rivals besides the Toronto Blue Jays vs Yankees and USMNT vs CanMNT.

I take offense to that. (Joking). It’s okay that your jealous of how awesome we are.
