So a little while ago my Aunt Pollie was telling me that her law firm has just been swamped with land deals recently. It seems that a vast number of people are wanting to move out to Saskatchewan. Really, who cam blame them; the vast stretches of land that are utterly unobstructed by any sort of features like hills or trees (it’s a well known Canadian fact that all of Saskatchewan’s trees long ago migrated to British Columbia). That sort of thing is really appealing to anyone who has recently undergone elective brain surgery.
There are a number of Saskatchewanians who believe that their province is starting to become the new Alberta. The oil and gas industry is starting to take off, land is abundant and people are starting to want to go there and get a piece of the pie. However, if Saskatchewan does become the new Alberta they had best get ready for an influx of foreigners who can barely speak the English language. Yeah, pretty soon there won’t be anybody left in Newfoundland at all. Next they’ll have to designate some podunk little town as New Fort MacMurray. Maybe North Battleford can be their Newfie Reserve. Lard T’underin’!
Just to assist any of our southern neighbours who may not be familiar with the subtleties of Canadian culture, perhaps this will help. Alberta is in many ways similar to Texas, Newfoundland would be our New Jersey, the closest thing to Saskatchewan might be Nebraska which probably makes Nunavut the equivalent to Delaware.
