    If you're thinking of moving to Regina, or even Saskatchewan, you've gotta be insane. Other things you didnt mention is that the water is so hard that water softeners are common here. The climate is brutal here as you either sweat to death in Summer or freeze to death in Winter. There is no happy medium. And the expression is "if you dont like the weather, wait 5 minutes" (not an hour) Are you even from Regina??😂

      We moved here many years ago from south of London, England. My sons were born here. We all have houses. We don’t have mortgages! How many othrr people can say that?
      Yes. We get a couple of really, really crappy weeks in winter.
      The moral of the story is - check your car battery in November. That’s what kills you in January when it’s 38 below. My older son has two cars. Neither woudl start. He borrowed his mil’s Porsche Cayenne. Even that dumped them at the grocery store. My car worked! We went and boosted him. All battery issues.
