Is Saskatchewan a province? Malloy just said so on-air and the caller

[LSU_Subversive]

corrected him. I thought it was? What's up with that?

[Bluebear]

1. 'course it is!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

2. No, the guy was from Alberta

and Mike thought it was part of Saskatchewan

[rooboy]

3. Saskatchewan is a province, Saskatoon is the main town, I thought...

Alberta is a province with Edmonton as its capital... or so I believe.

[GainesT1958]

6. Saskatchewan is indeed a province..

It's Canada's version of Kansas and Nebraska--Canada's "breadbasket". Its capital is Regina--named for Queen Victoria.

[rooboy]

8. I nearly went to Saskatchewan once..

to play football, but the arrangements fell through - I was supposed to go to Saskatoon, but I didn't realize Regina was in the same province. My brother lived in Edmonton for about 5 or 6 years and absolutely loved it.

13. You're right rooboy

Although the capital of Saskatchewan is Regina.

[rpannier]

4. It's a province

I work with a woman from Saskatchewan.

[Dookus]

5. no

the question was whether ALBERTA is a province. Malloy mistakenly thought it was a city in Saskatchewan.

[GainesT1958]

7. Uh-oh...Mike needs a bit of a geography lesson...

Alberta is Canada's version of Colorado; Edmonton (home of the Oilers of the NHL) is its capital, and Calgary (home of the 1988 Winter Olympics and the NHL's Flames) is its largest city.

[Dookus]

9. yes

the caller corrected him and Malloy apologized and admitted up front that he had made a mistake.

[yvr girl]

11. Colorado?

I always think of Alberta more as Texas North.

[enigmatic]

12. I live in Edmonton...

and it reminds me of Austin to Calgary's Dallas...

[freeforall]

14. Hello enigmatic!

Another Edmontonian here!

I've never visited Texas, so I'll take your word for it regarding the comparison of the cities.

[iverglas]

16. yup ;)

Edmonton/Austin has the culture, Calgary/Dallas has the money and the vulgarity, as I understand it.

Have to admit I've spent more time in Dallas than in Calgary, and about the same in Austin and Edmonton. But the drive from Edmonton to Calgary on a summer night beat the drive from Dallas to Austin all to hell.

[ironflange]

17. Yes, Calgary is Dallas, but. . .

. . .it has the geographical setting of Denver.

[LSU_Subversive]

10. Thanks everyone for the replies! n/t

[Swede]

15. I live in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan.

Yes it is a province.

[HEyHEY]

18. I just knew you were a riders fan

;-)

[HEyHEY]

19. phfff...barely

;-)

[Swede]

20. Ouch!

[MrPrax]

21. Looking out the Window...

Yeah it appears to be a province in Canada...one of ten

And it has a bunch of towns with funny names...like Buffalo Pound (that's the place you go if your bison goes missing!!)
