Perhaps less ideology and more pragmatism, eh?

Chamber of Commerce in SK ? That's kind of like the best hockey team in Bolivia......Eh?

P.S. As far as the happines scale stuff......you don't need to convince us here but you might want to try the 1/2 the population that lives in Quebec that's been trying to leave for the last 30 years.

You might want to check recent economic data before taking shots at Saskatchewan. We have a small population (~1.1 million) but here are some tidbits you may not know:
a) Saskatchewan is the world's leading supplier of potash and uranium. Other minerals include gold, coal, salt, silica sands, kaolin, sodium and potassium sulphate, as well as clays.
b) The discovery of the world's largest field of diamond-bearing kimberlite pipes has led to extensive exploration, drilling and discoveries for diamonds. The province also has endowments of copper, zinc, nickel, rare earth minerals and platinum group elements.
c) Lowest unemployment rate (5.2%) in Canada for 22 consecutive months.
d) #1 in Canada for oil and gas investment in the Fraser Institute’s 2014 Global Petroleum Survey.
e) Canada’s second-largest oil producer
f) third-largest natural gas producing province in Canada
g) world’s first and largest commercial-scale Carbon Capture and Storage installation (Boundary Dam Carbon Capture Project)
h) 100,000 (not a misprint) lakes for water sports and fishing
i) White-tailed deer: produce more huge bucks than any other jurisdiction, including the World Record White-Tail ("The Hanson Buck" - shot November 23, 1993, on a farm near Biggar, SK)
j) Big game: antelope, mule deer, elk, moose and black bear
k) Game birds: Abundant waterfowl, sharp-tailed grouse, pheasants, Hungarian partridge, and Ruffed grouse

Nasty winters but great summers. People are wonderful and very friendly, so it's a great place to live, work and raise a family, but also to visit - particularly for those who enjoy the great outdoors (in the summer!!).

Have a great day.

I hear ice hockey in Bolivia is sorta like soccer in America, coming on strong.

'La Pista', the location where the ice rink is installed, in the Bolivian city of La Paz.

LOL.

For a brief moment I thought you wrote 'Butt Bombers'. Yikes.
