I am living in sk now, really good place, nice people.
@@pengyuwang2969 true story, saskatoon people are nice
Born in Saskatchewan. Moved to Calgary when i was 23. Lived there for 17 years.
Moved back to Saskatchewan.
I love my home province and will never leave again
Awesome love it!
@@Welcometofacsistube I moved back to Calgary from the US, but if I were 20-30 years younger I'd prefer Saskatchewan. All Saskatchewan has the same population as Calgary, and Saskatoon seems to be the way I remember Calgary from my childhood. But unfortunately we hear too much negative stuff about Regina and Saskatoon on UA-cam.
Moved to Calgary when I was 18. Thinking of moving back for retirement. Keep hearing the lack of Doctors.
PS Alberta is not Left Wing …..
@raesmart3305 The entire city of Edmonton and half of Calgary elected the NDP in the last provincial election.
I’ve lived in both. I am a proud Saskatchewan girl…always! It’s the people, it’s home!
Awesome love it! Yes saskatchewan is home
I couldn't agree more.
@@Join.Conversation 🙌
Alberta is definitely NOT left wing. More left than Saskatchewan, sure, but all around it's the texas of canada, and it's pretty right wing. Especially by canadian standards
Agreed. Just the current government is left. Generally the western world is a little too left in my opinion but what do you do
God damn I didn't want to believe SK was more right wing, but I think you're right...
@@Direblade11 for now anyway. I think generally the western world is left leaning right now
Sk isn’t more right wing. Just saskParty blind. We were NDP for 30 years. Heck we started the NDP and healthcare
@@seanryan9904 yah so things switched am I right
I was raised in Lloydminster. Now that's a crazy town!
Beauty well is lloyd more alberta or saskatchewan?
@@saskatchewanrealtor I believe more in Alberta but has more municipal laws from Sask. The school system is under Sask and all babies are born on the Sask side. 18 is legal in Alberta to drink but you can’t go to the bar across the street in Sask. At one time there were seat belts in Sask but not Alberta. Learners license is 14 in Alberta and 16 in Sask. Our farm was 10 miles from the border Alberta side.
@@Theotherme11 precarious town it is
OMG ME TOO
@@taabybb275 Our family set up there in the 20’s. My dad and his sibs were born and raised there and had all of us kids there too. I am the youngest of 11. Only 4 of us moved away. All the rest stayed local.
Saskatchewan is the cultural center of western Canada. Saskatoon in my opinion is one of the most beautiful cities in North America.
@@Hyberlol I do agree and is largely underrated
Paris of Prairies.
@@CLIBits yeppers
Saskatchewan will be the place to live as Alberta becomes unaffordable.
Hahaha I agree with what you said but the crying face makes me laugh!
Definitely move to Saskatchewan.
Right?
Well put. Thanks for your video. Go Riders and Oilers!
Hey you bet- thanks for watching!
I moved from Vancouver Island to return to Sask in March of 2023. No comparison between the 2 places....much simpler way of life, and much lower cost of living.
Love it! BC sure is beautiful though I grew up there too
I moved from Sask to BC when I started my Service with the Royal Canadian Navy. I figured I'd go back to Sask in order to retire.
@@robk3005 hey no kidding I am originally from BC, I definitely miss it but saskatoon is home now
While the BC West Coast does have its nice points, the plusses in Sask outweigh the plusses on southern Vancouver Island. Besides, with Fort Qu'Appelle being in a valley between 2 lakes, it has some of the elements of the coast without the insane cost of living.
@@robk3005 beauty, yes there is some truth there for sure. I grew up in the kootenays
I love to visit Saskatchewan ❤this year
Yes yes welcome 👏 best to visit saskatoon in the summer time lol
Me too. Dog River. Oh! I mean Rouleau and Regina.
Saskatchewan feels closer to the heart and spirit. The fragrance in the air is of different level. Believe me, you start feeling at home right then and there.
True story
it’s true getting of a plane from toronto the air here smells so much cleaner than the big cities
Best chenel keep making videos
Hey thanks for saying that! Any video topics you’d like me to cover?
Sask has the lakes. Natural sand beaches clear warm water and not a lot of bugs most years in the forests make sask a great place for laking. Very underrated. 4 and a half months of the year there is nowhere on the planet better to be. The problem is the other 7 months or so. Sask gets a bad rap for its flat land but those people who laugh are ignorant of the utter beauty of Saskatchewans central northern lakes and beaches.
@@Hyberlol agreed the open skies have their beauty too. But with affordability here and job market it is possible to do snowbird thing and sunny winters aren’t too terrible if we can somehow avoid the deep freeze
The Roughriders break my heart every year.
@@j.k5888 hahahaha true story
Nice Video Chris!
Thanks! What did you like best?
I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan then eventually moved to Ottawa for work. I can say that there literally is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss life in Saskatchewan. The people, the weather, the Roughriders, the lakes and forests and outdoors. Land of Living Skies!!!
Hey that’s awesome! 👏 True story yes, why don’t you move back to Saskatchewan?
Truly Land of Living Skies.
@@CLIBits saskatchewan is beautiful
So funny the comments about the roughriders, so true. I remember coming across a roughrider flag hanging out of a window in Mexico lol.
True story right? Haha are you from saskatchewan?
@@saskatchewanrealtor yes sadly. :P
@@em5140 haha fair enough. Do you still live in saskatchewan?
@@saskatchewanrealtor yes sadly lol. 30+ years. I’ve been wanting to move away for most of my life, never liked it here.. but if all works out hopefully moving to BC later this year 🤞🏻
@@em5140 excellent well happy to help however I can. Are you in regina or saskatoon?
You seem to have concentrated on the larger centres of both provinces. Let me assure you small town Alberta and Saskatchewan have some wonderful towns to live in and raise a family. City life is not for me and it would have been great for you to also feature rural and small town living.
Would be happy to break it down further and thanks for commenting. Which towns do you think would be ideal to start with first?
Shhh! Saskatchewan is the best kept secret. Don't tell anyone, we don't want to spoil it.
I like the optimism
How about the great outdoors. Alberta has around 800 fishable lakes, Saskatchewan has 97,000.
That is great and true- I should do a video on that. Alberta has the mountains though in all fairness
India has merely 180 lakes with 1.5 billions mazards.
I’m in my late 50’s and about to retire, we currently live in the USA due to work but are Canadian, if you are going to live on say, a $60,000 retirement income, there are a lot of financial implications to consider, income tax, PST, GST, HST. You’re better off to live Ontario where the lower tax brackets are cheaper at ~5% instead of the 10% in AB and Saskatchewan. Also, housing in BC is ridiculously high, so Ontario (not GTA Toronto) is better imo, winters are also milder and the proximity to the U.S. is also there, if that’s important to someone.
Interesting perspective. Where in ontario could you find reasonable pricing?
@ we are considering Saskatoon, which is why I’m watching your videos, I played junior hockey in North Battleford in the mid 80’s and my dad still lives there. But to answer your question, there are nice homes from Amherstburg to Leamingtom in southern Ontario in the 600-750 range. I do have my eye on a nice place in Saskatoon though, I really like the city and so does my wife…except in the winter. 😂🇨🇦
I went from Vancouver, then moved to Calgary in 2014 for lower cost of living, now I’m moving to Regina next week. They gonna push me all the way to Winnipeg 😭😂
Hahahaha super funny. Well regina is cheaper than winnipeg so you’re stuck now just kidding. If you need any help navigating or getting set up for the move happy to help just send me an e-mail at 12molenaar@gmail.com
I live in Québec, pure french Lady 😅 ... but i want my kids to be bilingual and live in an English environnement.
Also, I want to be able to become a conference , workshops interpreter ( french - English and vice versa )
I am struggling to chose between, SK, Alberta, Ontario, BC... my husband is into the oilfield industries...
Thx to read me.. Cheers.
New follower on your charnel 😊
Paris of the Prairies refers to the amount of bridges
True story right
Well done
Thanks! What did you like best?
@@saskatchewanrealtor the fair comparison you provided throughout. I’m hoping to road trip across Canada in a few years and appreciate the succinct approach you used to speak to a variety of highlights in both provinces.
@@CamilleNorth yes definitely both provinces have their own beauty and advantages etc too. Enjoy the trip, so much beautiful countryside
If you stay out of Regina and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is a great place to live.
Interesting perspective, do you live in small town saskatchewan or on a farm?
@@saskatchewanrealtor Currently i live in Regina, unfortunately.
I used to live in Moose Jaw. My Mother lives in Humboldt and my brother lives in Lake Lenore. None of those places have the crime and open drug use that Regina and Saskatoon have.
Coming up
@@V.Anderson-r6g which?

Weather in canada is not warm all year round no matter where you live
Saskatchewan is also world's biggest exporter of mustard seed.
Hey this is true, saskatchewan has strong farming exports
And Potash as well.
I've lived in both, Calgary is nice because it is close to mountains but if you like small town feel Regina beats Calgary and Edmonton
True story
For the outdoor enthusiasts and hard core campers, Ontario is the best province to live in by far. Its too bad they have Toronto and Ottawa ruining it for the rest.
Ontario is a big province that’s for sure. BC is pretty epic for outdoor enthusiasts
Hi, post 6 month's application submission for SINP profile I have received an invite for interview in my country. What is it exactly for? It is 15 minutes interview.
Hey thanks for reaching out, happy to help however I can- send me an e-mail and we can chat
Do we have IT jobs in Saskatchewan?
Yep
Sorry, but Alberta is a conservative province, has been for almost 60 years. and remains that as of today, I would say this province is more centre right for sure is a great place to live.
Alberta is a great province. Generally right wing yes but votes spoke otherwise last time around
yea i think he was getting at is yes alberta is/has been staunchly conservative, but over the years the onturdians,kweebekers and people from little china (BC) started to move to alberta making it a bit more left leaning over the years compared to Sask which sucks cause most of them are probably gonna do what the equivalent of what californians do in the states which is ruin the current state, then move to the next state, live there a bit enjoy it, start changing policies that are heavily left leaning, new state turns to shit and rinse and repeat
@@eibbor171 well not sure interprovincial immigration caused the swing in vote cuz it turned left before the upswing in migration patterns
Hi, trying to migrate to Saskatchewan, please which area is more affordable with job opportunities?
This is urgent please
I have heard cook is one of the easiest positions for moving to saskatchewan. Send me an e-mail if you want to keep conversation going happy to help however I can
I live in Saskatoon and read on the subreddit for it about people applying to 50-100 jobs and only getting one or two calls back for places with over 70 applicants. Good luck.
@@shaynelowe9604 there is opportunity here for sure. More job opportunities per capita than most other areas. Will do a video on that too
Please what's your opinion about someone pursuing a Masters in music programme in Saskatchewan.. Is it in demand and lucrative?
@@martinsax music is the arts. Can be lucrative but depends if you’re playing the odds. If you want to make serious money in the music industry I also don’t think you need university degree but I am not an expert in the field of music
The united Conservative Party is the party in power under Danielle smith. Alberta is not left wing just not as right wing as they used to be. Saskatchewan has gone the other way now becoming the most conservative province. Although, the ndp seem to be gaining ground again in Regina and Saskatoon…
This is an unfortunate true story for saskatchewan
The Alberta United Party is a Far Right political party… The Saskatchewan Party is a Centre Right political party. Alberta is the most right leaning province in this country.
I don’t disagree- however Which party is currently in power and has recently been in power? Is my only mention
@@saskatchewanrealtor Since 1971 Saskatchewan has had 27 years of left leaning political control. As for Alberta they have had 4 years of left leaning political control in that same time frame. The reason why the NDP won in 2015 is because of a vote split between two other conservative parties in the province Progressive conservative and The wild rose party but they have since formed into the United Party. Even when we look at past or present politics Alberta has always been the more right wing province
@@Whatdoingdog44 are you in politics? I am not a political expert
I love Regina Not saskatoon which one do you like?
What do you like best about regina vs saskatoon?
How about as a retiree??? And how will Alberta and Saskatchewan survive under the ruinous behaviour of the Trudeau regime??
I am not a politician but can say that saskatchewan specifically has great options for retirees in terms of housing options
@@saskatchewanrealtor I'm curious about the lifestyle of older retired folks in Saskatoon
@@dovygoodguy1296 should be fine if you stay out of the politics in either provinces.
@@davidjym I don't know what you mean. The issue is the quality of life ruined by the policies of the Trudeau regime everywhere.
@@dovygoodguy1296 in that case the entire Canada will be affected
What a bunch of nonsense. Two of the worst provinces to live in. Cheap doesn't mean it's better.
Which province do you currently reside?
Your comment is nonsense
@ agreed
Well it ain't saskatchewan. This place sucks and is riddled with crime and gang violence and india. Moving to Alberta as soon as we can
Hey well personal preference for sure saskatchewan vs alberta. Happy to help however I can. Where in alberta would you move to?
@Livinginsaskatoonguide I mean I consider saskatchewan home, I just don't like what's happened to it. We're hoping for somewhere in the foothills smaller place, close to hiking. We lived on V Island for 10 years then moved back here a few years ago. It has changed dramatically.
@@mickeylickey123 no kidding right. Well happy to help however I can, send me an email
Go as soon as you can, please.
@@jacquelinebonneau5102 go where?
