Saskatchewan is a wonderful province. This has not, however, stopped the continuous outflow of its residents. One only has to go to a football game in any province in the country and you will see the results - Rider Green is displayed proudly throughout the nation.
Yesterday I was wearing a Saskatchewan Roughriders shirt at a choir practice when a woman came up to me and asked if I was really a Rider fan. I replied that indeed I was and went on to explain that I had come by it honestly - going to school in Saskatchewan, family connections, etc. Sure enough, she was from Weyburn and still kept up from time to time with the Riders news. I was just shocked that someone actually knew what the Riders were, let alone finding a supporter from Weyburn!
I guess the diaspora is alive and well even here. I knew people fled to Alberta or BC looking for work, but Zambia? I guess things must be really desperate!
