Has anyone else ever noticed how people from Saskatchewan manage to insert the Riders into pretty much everything?
Going to a NHL game? Wear a Riders jersey.
How about that weather? Great day for a Riders game.
US re-names produce? Riders.
When I woke up this morning, I rolled my eyes at the stupidity of Americans re-branding a berry. Now that the issue has been linked to the Rider Nation, I have reconsidered and now think it is important for Canadians to keep our best friend, largest trading partner and neighbour happy... Saskatoons are dead, long live the Juneberry!
And to reduce confusion, and the potential economic impact arising from that confusion, I think it is prudent that the name change be mandatory in all instances. Juneberry, the Paris of the Prairies!
