Saskatchewan tourism promotion
Welcome to Saskatchewan. Thank you for visiting our beautiful province. Here are a few things you ought to know to make your stay more pleasant:
1. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
2. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey.
3. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes unsweetened in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon.
4. So you have a sixty-thousand-dollar car. We're real impressed. We have quarter-million-dollar combines that we use two weeks a year.
5. Let's get this straight. We may have one stoplight in town, but we stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow.
6. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks - because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute.
7. Yeah, we eat trout, Northern, walleye, and pike, too. If you really want sushi and caviar, it's available at the bait shop.
8. The "Opener" refers to the first days of fishing and deer season. They are religious holidays. You can get breakfast at the church.
9. So what if every person in every pick-up waves? It's called being friendly. Understand the concept?
10. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit into the water hazards. It spooks the fish. And stay out of the woods, that spooks the deer.
Please enjoy your stay. "eh"
