  1. My mom was a Sasquatectwaner. She grew up on a homestead about a hundred miles southeast of Sasquatectoon.

  7. Is that like an Alberta “crippler”(shud be clipper)??? At least Montanans get it right.

  8. Free publicity for a music show in the U.S. Northwest. Nothing to do with Saskatchewan or real Sasquatch!

  9. Years ago, my mother and I had a U.S. radio station on and were surprised to hear Manitoba pronounced as Man-toe-bee-a. We were laughing too hard and missed how they said ‘Winnipeg’.

  10. Lucky they didn’t have to spell Regina too.
    According to the educrats spelling is not important, nor is mathematics. Instead, the system concentrates on raising social awareness and self-esteem.

  15. I seen a peanut stand and heard a rubber band. I’ve seen a needle that winked its eye. But I been done seen about everything when I see an elephant fly or a Sasquatch scream.
    with apologies to the crows on “Dumbo”

  17. That is awesome! I vote we change the name of the province to Sasquatectwan as soon as possible!

  20. m, that was good.
    Saskatchewan comes from the Cree “Kisiskatchewani Sipi” meaning swiftly flowing. Also comes from eating too much kolbasa and drinking too much Saskatchewan Lite beer.

  21. I thought the Saskatchewan screamer was Nettie Wiebe

  22. How many times do we have to repeat this before the message hits home?
    Don’t drink and Chiron!
    think of the childruns.

  23. saskabush?????
    great to fly over, just don’t land, cuz it would be hard to tell yer mama were you were stuck

  31. I’m recently moved to AZ, and a dad on my girls softball team pisses himself silly every time I say Regina.

  34. Sucksatcewan, that thar is whut my boy calls er and he dun got himself sum edecatsun in one of them thar skools an thay dun teeched em to call it Suckskatchewan. Like Jethro he be an eaten boy.

  35. Harks back to when our submarine the Chicoutimi caught fire. A friend who had been stationed at Bagotville (right by Chicoutimi, Quebec) didn’t recognize the name on CNN. They pronounced it Chick-a-two- mee.

  36. If you Prairie folks had been sensible,and changed the name of your Province to “Douglasville”, this embarrassing mistake wouldn’t have occurred.
    I mean, we British Columbians were willing to show the way by calling this place simply ,”B.C.”,to save on time and confusion.
    Damned stubborn farmers….

  37. I mean, we British Columbians were willing to show the way by calling this place simply ,”B.C.”,to save on time and confusion.
    Yeah, but now all the Americans think “B.C.” stands for “British California.”

  40. Sasquatectwan Screamer headed towards Nova Scotian
    (Halfaxer) and New Burnswick (Freddierickson)
    I learned all those names in georgaphy class,
    didnt even know what a College gradate was and now I are one.

  41. Not only our American cousins have trouble with some of our names. I was working in northern Ontario and heard the very proper English voice of a British Airways pilot give a position report over Kapuskasing, making it sound like two words: cap-us, casing.
    Hard not to laugh. I would have paid to hear him fly over Newfoundland.

  42. My cousin was camping with his friends back in the 1970’s, and says they saw the Saskatchewan Screamer walk right up to their tent when they were going to sleep. He says he was never so scared in his whole life, and it smelled like poo. And it screamed.

  45. I wouldn’t attempt to pronounce the cities in Saskatchewan.
    I do get a kick out of out-of-staters calling the Ouachita River ‘O-shea-ta’ instead of ‘Ahh-chi-taw’.

  47. Great Grampa tried to tell them that Fast Flowing Water is easier to spell as Speedy Creek than Saskatchewan but would they listen to him? They said they already had a Speedy Creek and didn’t want to confuse the locals.
