Born and raised on a farm south of Saskatoon. Have lived in Winnipeg, MB, Medicine Hat, AB, as well as just outside of Dallas/Ft Worth, TX... have travelled to Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, Zurich... you couldn’t pay me enough to live anywhere but small town Saskatchewan. Zero crime, comparable income to city living, people who care about each other and help each other.. TRY to convince me otherwise...

Hello Jack. Welcome to Saskatchewan. I was born and raised here. My Mother was an English war bride. When her relatives came here to visit they couldn’t get over how much space there is here. All of Saskatchewan has a little over 1 million people. When I went to England I couldn’t get over how many people there were there and not very much space. I got to see all the stuff I learned in history classes. England is a very old country and Canada is a very young country.
I enjoyed this video. There are always pros and cons.

The first complaint about how long it takes driving is stupid. Should we chop off land? Create new countries. Our country is huge. There are good things and bad things about it, but seriously? Of all the things to complain about you chose how long it takes to drive places. Thats not Saskatchewan, thats Canada as a whole.

Having lived in Europe and now living in SK, the space is what I like here and it’s not just SK but the whole Canada. I don’t think I would have been able to build a house on an acreage in Europe unlike here in SK/Canada. And I love going to the lake in a cabin in summertime. As long as you can drive you can do more things in SK and waste less time travelling.

Travelling by plane is easy though. Can be down to the US pretty quick. Quicker if you lived in Edmonton or Calgary but the people are friendlier in Sask. Winters you should get a 4x4 truck or an AWD suv.

my husband and I are considering Saskatchewan just to get out of Ontario. Been in touch with a realtor and researching everything about province . We are ready to retire and just want to relax and take it easy in some quiet little town out there.

The cold is for reals - if you don't like the the cold, SK, is not for you. And transit is absolute crap - you'll need a car. In Saskatoon, crime is more on the west side and has increased over the last two decades. For me, I LOVE the space and the quiet - it's healing for the soul.

10 years in sk first 3 were without vehicle . Moved to Toronto due to Job and Weather . Came back after one year as didn’t like to be there . Yes we have extreme winter -55 roads covered with snow for 6 month extra high UV levels but still I love sk don’t want to move anywhere .

Got intrigue with the title so I clicked it! Great information! You deserve more subs due to the quality of your vlogs! I have been here in Regina for 8 years now and have been vlogging it for almost 3 years now. It is nice to see insights of others too! See you around Saskatchewan! 🌾☁️

I love living on the Canadian prairies. It’s not for everyone, I get it. The things that you’re listing are pros for me. I love the cold and the outdoors.

The reason for #2 is #1. So many roads that it's hard to maintain them to high standards.
And the reason you feel safe in Saskatchewan despite the high crime rate is because statistics are done on a per Capita (per 100, 000 people) basis. So the small populations of the Cities reflect high crime rates even when less crimes are committed overall.

forgot to mention cross country skiing, ski-doing, downhill skiing, hockey games, rec hockey, street hockey, lacrosse, curling, snow boarding and wind surfing....not to mention snow just plain bundling up and going for a walk in the clean, fresh, freezing air. Balaclava time!

From saskatoon.

Saying our roads are bad doesnt offend us. We complain the most about it.

saskatchewan is entirely full of small towns or pretty big towns so technically speaking, jobs here aren’t hard to find. really depends on if your taking business or something big where you should move to other places like B.C or Alberta. 😊

I had been living in Saskatoon, SK from around 1997 to 2000. I kind of enjoyed studying there, meeting a lot of ppl Plus beer every Friday.

saskatchewans an alright place but if you wanna move here just leave during the winter. go take a 5 month vacation when november rolls around. it feels like spring is just around the corner but its still so cold, windy, awful, depressing, i hate these winters

[PeterFranks-lsqw]

winters are the most fun brings the man out in you

Hi, the space issue you mentioned is not a problem for Saskatchewan but the whole Canada.

[gaynorgloria]

CANADA as whole is big. Now saskatchewan i guess you are entilled of your opinion but i guess each province has pros and cons.
Try to explore entire canada. I used to live in the north. Been to alberta multiple times, been to manitoba .i guess all you have to do is learn appreciate small things.
