The pitch meeting for those would have been fun.

"We have basically no budget but need coast-to-coast coverage in every major news outlet. Any ideas?"

Somebody is getting a raise.

The Latin pronunciation is more like ReGEENA.

Saskatchewaners are just illiterate. Don’t even know how to pronounce the name of the capital city.

It means Queen.

The time has come to cancel this offensive name once and for all. It’s not the 1800’s anymore.

It’s not even a real rhyme, unless you pronounce either of those words wrong.

hard to know if this was a dumb idea that went pubic or some kind of reverse troll/flex thing to get even more attention

people in low income countries will be given merchandise that could easily be sold on a saskatchewan facebook group for thousands

Tourism Regina representatives must be careful not to speak alone in public. Otherwise it could be perceived as Regina monologues.

Experience Regina is clearly winning... I mean, 34 (now 35) posts about Regina on a Calgary-based hockey forum? Mission accomplished, folks.

There's a store in Butte, MT called Butte Stuff.
