Default SASK Lags Behind Other Provinces in Life Satisfaction

Has anyone been following Saskatchewan politics lately?


Opinion polls showed a late surge for the NDP, and could possibly topple the Sask party - which seemed far out of reach them.


Could be another squeaker as in BC. If Moe falls, that would leave only Doug Ford remaining from the infamous Maclean's 5.

They’d have the lowest minimum wage if not for one of their provincial neighbours whom shall remain nameless so that’s one area where they’re lagging behind 8 other provinces.

Oof, I was curious to see how Sask ranks vs Alberta, and turns out Alberta is dead last...

Lets be honest. Saskatchewan has done their job and done it well.

That is one of the best flat and smooth highways.

I mean...its not interesting, but it is well maintained and requires very little effort and concentration.

You just put your foot down and you'll be in 'Metropolitan' Manitoba in no time.

It would appear the cardinal poll had it correct.

Hopefully our province comes to the same realization before the next election. But our citizens are mostly too R word conservative for that to happen.

Do you think this is just an age calculator where older people are happier?

If you zoom in really close, you'll notice the border is quite jagged. Many many correction lines to adjust for the earth's curvature.

There's your useless fact for the day.

Saskatchewan provides definitive proof for a round Earth. Despite being know as universally flat.
