Why not either: seperate SK and MN sections or else just it call it prairies. We are two thirds of the prairies, after all. And seriously, why is Thunder Bay not in the Ontario section? It doesn't "feel" like Ontario? Well I certainly don't "feel" very Saskatchewan or "prairie" but the maps beg to differ.

Central time zone area, plus T-Bay.

What about the time of year Saskatchewan is in Mountain time zone?

How about "88 to 110 W"?

harls · #24 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 8:04 PM**

it's always central standard for them, which can be mountain (as it is currently).

Lousy farmers.

(ps - I can say that, I'm from a lousy farm, so don't jump all over me)

How about "no mans land"

How about "Sexy Manitoba plus 2.." ?

^ I guess a lot of men from this area have left to go work in the sausage party that is Alberta... so I can see your point...

Call it what it is. Canada's fly-over zone.

Just put Thunder Bay back where it belongs...IN ONTARIO...dammit!

I love sausages!

And Thunder Bay doesn't belong in Ontario. Not according to Dalton McGuinty.

As soon as gold runs out and Forestry disappears, we're nothing to Ontario. Which isn't a far cry from what we are now.

At least with Manitoba we'd be with people that understand us. It's kinda of embarrassing when you have to go to another province to find people that understand what's going on in your own region.

What about in between land?

macca · #32 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 9:23 PM**

I think Saskatoon should be in the Alberta section. Geographically we're close, they're are thousand upon thousands of Saskatoonians in Alberta, Saskatoon has a bit (just a bit!) of that go-commerce, go-private sector, economy go-boom thing that Alberta does so well... Saskatoon just doesn't belong in (the) Saskatchewan (section). Does that sound ridiculous enough? Perhaps if almost nobody else backed me up on this random bit of non-logic, then a moderator or admin could make it happen.

Sorry, I'm in a mood today.

Well you guys almost were your own province at one time.

Circa 1900

That's only Fort McMurray, Calgary has more Women than Men. Thanks for coming out.

I might have to officially kick out north west ontario from here, at least on paper.

But that wouldn't necessarily stop an interest in north western ontario posting here based on the threads and subjects created here.

vid · #36 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 10:41 PM**

Why?

M II A II R II K · #37 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 10:47 PM**

Well as you have stated you have more in common with the Manitoba, so this setup is practical even if it's unusual.

I was told from higher up that all of Ontario should remain in Ontario. But then again that's on paper anyway.

That doesn't mean you would lose interest in posting in the threads here, particularly if the threads are created in a way that is not city specific for NW Ontario.

I was looking for the Comerica leaving Detroit thread. Where is it?

samne · #39 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 11:12 PM**

MidWestern Canada?....nah, Prairies is much better.

CCF · #40 Posted **Mar 16, 2007, 11:34 PM**

I thought Saskatchewan and Manitoba worked just fine....
