Saskatchewan

The opposite of Babylon, Saskatchewan is an enchanted wonderland and spawning-ground of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

I'm going to have to buy more rye

Saskatchewan quick facts:

• The official provincial fruit is the watermelon.
• The provincial anthem is Not a Lot Goin' On by Craig Northey and Jesse Valenzuela.
• The official mix of Saskatchewan is ginger ale, or coke, or water, or ice. Unless you'd rather just drink your rye straight.

Notable communities in Saskatchewan are:

• Mikado
  • Named after the Hall and Oates operetta, Mikado is the only incorporated municipality in Saskatchewan without a giant statue of an animal or common household item.
• Saskatoon
• Regina
• Wakaw
  • The distilling capital of Saskatchewan, Wakaw is notable for being the location of former Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's recycling bin.
• Chamberlain
  • Although Saskatchewan has been ruled from Regina since 1840, the ancient traditional capital of Chamberlain has proved to be an archaeologist's nightmare by providing copious evidence of football being played aeons before the evolution of homo sapiens!
