They said, "You are from Regina right?" OH PLEASE!

It's almost as disgusting to me as Tim Horton's marketing themselves as a "Canadian institution" or if you don't drink Tim Horton's then you aren't Canadian. When abroad, I despise when non Canadian's associate me with Tim Horton's, just because I'm Canadian. The RoughRiders do not make Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan. Even though they are a "big deal" here.

/end rant - Now back to the Thunderchild Bypass
Sorry, what does Thunderchild have to do with Regina?
