And I see here that you can't drop a privince from the # of seats they had in 1985...so maybe that's why Sask hasn't dropped?

Yeah, provinces can't lose seats anymore with the current legislation in place. More details can be found from the article talking about the 2012 redistribution:

Out of personal curiosity, I tried to guess what the seat counts might look like after 2022 based on current population numbers and the rules in place:
Ontario: 132
Quebec: 82
BC: 46
Alberta: 40
Manitoba: 14
Saskatchewan: 14
Nova Scotia: 11
New Brunswick: 10
Newfoundland: 7
PEI: 4
The three territories with 1 each.
