Reply #13: We are not like Alberta [View All]

And in one sense - we are very very conservative.

I like to remind people that when in Alberta, seems like everyone tries so hard to have the biggest house, the fanciest car, the most toys - even if they can't really afford it.....and in Saskatchewan - even though you can afford it - you don't show off because you don't want your neighbors to know! It isn't that we are stingy - we don't like to advertise how well financially we are doing. But, as a whole - we do go out of our way to help those who cannot help themselves.

Our taxes are high - and yet our cost of living is still less than just about every other province. Property values are undervalued here. You can get a decent house in a city for around $120 000.

All in all - it isn't the weather or the STUFF/resources that Saskatchewan has that appeals - it is her heart, her soul and her people.
