Canada's Prairie Provinces are both about the same size and share a pretty similar overall geography (Alberta's western end aside). But despite these similarities, Alberta has a population that's about four times the size of Saskatchewan. So what's going on in Alberta that's attracted so many more people than Saskatchewan?

Technically Manitoba is also considered a prairie province.
Only the bottom third of the province, though.
@@Sacto1654 I mean that’s true but by that logic neither Sask nor Alberta are prairie provinces either lol since they are also only ~1/3 prairie
Came here to say this lol
Actually, not just technically.
You beat me to this fact.
Just completely cut Manitoba out of a prairie video, crazy.
Hahaha they have nothing to offer
Manitoba? Who..?
As a Saskatchewanian, Manitoba being the one forgotten makes me feel a little vindicated lol.
We really do appreciate Manitoba over here though: it means we don't border Ontario.
Manitoba is a dump. If it wasn't for money from the government they wouldn't be able to pay the bills or keep their lights on.
They are now woke as f***.
Moved from Winnipeg 10 years ago and will never go back.
All my friends are now shaved head communists. Manitoba is a socialist s*** hole
@@Direblade11I’m in Ontario and it blows
as a saskatchwan farmer ...its wheat canola and pulse crops
we dont mind having a low population we like open spaces
Alberta has open spaces while still being a better place to live on average
I agree, I live in Saskatchewan and the space is beautiful.
I'm working in Ontario now on shutdown, I hate it here.
Way too close and congested.
As an Albertan, it's oil... And the politics? The spice must flow...
Saskatchewan used to be a socialist paradise in the Tommy Douglas days, but now it’s probably even more conservative than Alberta is.
Just imagine if the Oilers win a Cup with McDavid.
@@bjdon99they foolishly let the buses die off fools.
@@maxpowr90 nothing will change. Edmontonians will get more arrogant and drunk, Flames fans will drink even more, life will go on.
@@th3oryO That 50/50 raffle though. Just think of it! No surprise why the Oilers arena is attached to a Casino.
0:00 AND Manitoba too
Yeah I was wondering there.
this is Manitoba erasure
Came here to say this
Lol, just typical, I live in a prairie province that doesn’t exist. I should be sooooo used to this, sigh.
To Liberalize to part of the west
Born and raised in Saskatchewan. Back in the socialist days of the NDP rule in Saskatchewan, the joke was ' last one to leave Saskatchewan, turn off the lights '. Many, many Saskatchewanians left for the work and money of the oilpatch in Alberta. At my 10 year highschool reunion in 1994, 170 graduates out of a class of 268 were in Alberta.
That’s because the Métis population has the province booming so well or is it m metis? Lmfao
That was the and this is now. For my money, bring back democratic socialism in Saskatchewan.
Alberta needs to leave Kommunist Kanada. Saskatchewan should leave as well.
@@createone100 so that the next educated generation can leave. Thats what you get with socialism. I graduated B Comm at U of S in 1985. Most of my class left for Alberta, Vancouver, or Toronto.. Staying was not an option if you wanted a decent job and it was 100% the result of socialism.
@@michealwagner5806 Well,I have 3 degrees, one of which is a Masters. I stayed and made a good career and life here. I am retired now, with a comfortable pension, although I would love to not have to put up with Moe and the Sask. Party. Saskatchewan is a well-kept secret, and I love that people stay away. However, a great many immigrants seem to be coming here and starting businesses.
As an American, the most disappointing thing I ever learned about Canada is that Saskatchewan's name had nothing to do with Sasquatch.
Sasquatchewan
Bruh 💀💀
Well there are no Sasquatch sightings there
@@TheCanadianBoeing787-10 maybe up north of province
@@draganbuhanovich6411 nope
Ur wrong bc I am an actual western canadian
I love these Canada episodes. We were not taught much about Canada in school
For a good reason. Nothing matters in saskatchewan.
I
@@niubi42069 except the grain and other things you likely eat from Saskatchewan. And if not that, guaranteed the pot ash that they use in the States for fertilizer.
And we noticed! 😉👍🇨🇦
There's nothing worth learning. Useless country with insecure miserable Socialist, whom think people should give e AF about Mexico north
As someone from Saskatchewan, it’s pretty obvious and can be summed up in one word: oil (lol)
Edit: to be fair he does mention this in his video. Good video might I add, all pretty accurate
Yup - Alberta’s population would be like Montana otherwise.
No, it’s because alberta has actual land features besides one big piece of flat land. Have you ever heard of banff? That’s why nobody goes to sask. it’s deadly boring
@@niubi42069I live in Calgary - love Bannf. But Montana has amazing mountains too - how many people live there? Heck - Edmonton has almost same population as Calgary but it’s a long drive from mountains. It’s all about oil.
And Saskatchewan I heard found its own Oil sands as well.
@@niubi42069 that’s the secondary reason. I love the Banff/Canmore area, if I had enough money I’d probably move there lol. But it’s definitely not the only reason, or as mkyou mentioned Montana and Wyoming would be more populous than Saskatchewan and they aren’t really. Heck, even Edmonton is not near the mountains. Most of Alberta is exactly like Saskatchewan, except for more oil
Edit: also PS not all of Sask is flat. Only about the bottom 1/4 of it is. The northern part of the province has a lot of trees.
I think the Canadian Shield consuming more of Saskatchewan has an impact as well.
It's mostly that I'd say. Less arable land for homesteading in the early days of settlement
Good point, (and not mentioned), the Canadian Shield restricts SK farm lands and population to the lower 35/40% of SK.. Even more so in Manitoba. AB not so much.
The shield takes even more of Manitoba, yet we have always had more people than SK. And we are less spread out, too. Pretty concentrated in the south.
The shield doesn't start until the halfway mark up the province.
Much of the farmland below the north sask river was cleared by settlers and once you get North of the river the forests become much more dense. 50 km north of the river and the farmland is almost all gone. Farmland does go farther north along the western border of the province but the forests there are more poplar and willow. I think it has more to do with the effort required to clear the land than where the shield starts.
@@DannyyerushalayimManitoba also has way more water than sask.
We Metis arent generally considered First Nations. We're Indigenous but distinct from First Nations. We also have a sizeable population in Saskatchewan with the core of our homeland being the Red River in Manitoba. We also have folks in British Columbia, Northwest Territories, northwestern Ontario, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana.
This has always seemed like a grey area that differs, not just from place to place but person to person as well. I'm half English/Scottish and half gwich'in. I've never been told I'm Metis outside of social studies class and all my family just considers me gwich'in. Same goes for anyone else I know who's part indigenous or First Nations. They never say they're Metis, they say what group they're connected to. It doesn't matter if they're 25% Cree or half Ojibwe. If they're connected, that's what they are.
@canucklhead6230 Lower-case m metis is just somebody who is mixed-race and a lot of Canadian social studies books get this wrong. Capital M Metis (Michif/Red River Metis and the group the video is referring to) is more than just half First Nations and half European, though. You're probably not Metis. It requires connection to the Métis Nation in the Prairies, self ID as Metis, and acceptance as Metis by the Métis Nation. There's a lot of misinformation about who is and isn't Metis, either definitions tend to be far too broad (any mixed First Nations and European) or exclude the Anglo-Metis (First Nations and French ancestry).
I'm Metis and have Cree, Saulteaux Ojibwe, and Scottish ancestry.
I asked two guys that I met in Alberta if they were indigenous. Their response was we're Métis.
@canucklhead6230 It's not a grey area. For example, my friends daughter is a recognized member of a Fist Nation Band, but also has Métis ancestry. If she wanted to be a recognized member of the Métis Nation though, she would have to renounce her First Nation Status and choose to Identify as Métis. Even if you can claim membership in either, you only get to pick one.
@@zepher664it's just all to get paid . She can identify how ever she wants off of paper .
My grandpa was from Saskatchewan but my dad grew up in Red Deer, I was born and raised in Calgary AB. Economic reasons drive people to Alberta, but it’s also considerably warmer. Saskatchewan gets insanely cold. Alberta can, too, but southern Alberta has a more reasonable climate overall.
Now I live in southern Vancouver Island so the climate is extremely moderate. The humidity is super refreshing and I feel like I can breathe better at sea level, but I’ll always love the prairies where I was raised.
You live in sooke?
i wouldn’t call calgary the prairies. i’m neighboring 4 farms, and those farms neighbor farms. that’s the prairies
Shouldn’t Manitoba feel slighted for not also being included as a Prairie Province?
Manitoba doesn’t even exist.
@@JesusFriedChrist What are you talking about, i'm literally stuck here LOL
@@JesusFriedChristwhy would you feel the need to say this? So weird
@@JesusFriedChrist good the less people that come here the better.
They're comparing Alberta and Saskatchewan.
When I was living in Washington one of the family friends who was a long haul truck driver would take my brother and then myself on some of his trips. I remember going on one of these long haul trips to North Battleford Saskatchewan. It was during this time that for the first time I saw the Northern Lights the Aurora Borealis. It was an incredible experience. It looked liked ribbons of multi-colored light and it could be heard as the crackling and buzzing you hear next to a power station.
I'd also add the political philosophies dictated development. With oil development Alberta has been very conservative & economically oriented while saskatchewan has been unique as a very socialist province up until the mid 2000s. It's also the home of Tommy Douglas who implemented the first single payer universal health care system in North America. Till this day Saskatchewan still has a very large union presence as well as government owned utilities such as saskpower, sask energy, saskwater & other government owned utilities.
Given its very small population to province size, government-own utilities are actually kind of a must.
Apparently, a referendum was held on whether the main electrical utilities should be nationalized in Alberta back in the 1940's. It was narrowly defeated. This allowed for deregulation 50 years later, which is considered by many to have been a mistake.
@@Sacto1654indeed, one of the reasons we voted in socialist governments in those days was because neither Ottawa nor private investors were interested in serving the province’s needs
You don't have to vote socialist to think public utilities are effective.
@@aidanwotherspoon905 During the Great Depression there were doctors that had to go on welfare. Everybody in their community was too poor to afford a doctor so the doctor could not make money. Today it is hard to believe but some doctors made more money under socialism than capitalism. Try telling that to an American.
Saskatchewan had a bigger population than Alberta until the Second World War
Excellent analysis! I did have to chuckle when the "before Europeans came" section was accompanied by a picture of a native riding a horse to hunt a bison though.
Europides were those first humans, brought horses to the American Continent!
I take it you have never read about our lord and savior Joseph Smith
@@maikotter9945Horses were not in the Americas before colonization or the Spanish. All wild horses in the Americas are escaped domestic horses
hahaha ya and he wrote a new version of the bible out of a hat. anyone that belives that, i have some magic beans to sell them
Hey Geoff, you should do a video on Manitoba as well.
As a Canadian and an Albertan I need to add that Manitoba is considered a prairie province by all the people I've known here.
Yep, this is taught in school.
Thanks Aristotle, but this video is comparing Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Manitoba is a prairie province too.
They should try acting like part of the Western Canada then
@@peterbutz642we are pretencious enough, thanks.
Thanks, Einstein, but this video is comparing Alberta to Saskatchewan.
Originally Saskatchewan and Alberta was going to be one province called Buffalo. The federal government changed its mind at the last minute because they felt the province would be to big and as a result to powerful and created Saskatchewan and Alberta. Recently there has been talk of the provinces joining forces as both feel they get treated poorly compared to their eastern provinces. Both provinces have their positives and negatives. I’m born and raised Calgarian but my wife was born in Regina so I have a pretty good sense of what makes each province different. Great video!
Oil & The Rockies
also, Alberta is one of the only places in the world that doesn’t have any rats
@@AwesometownUSA trust me, that’s a lie, I’ve seen rats inside homes
Yep. First line of the video is incomplete. Manitoba too.
Manitoba is a Prarie province as well
Could of fooled me they act more like the Eastern Canada
Haha true !
Leave it to the east to take claim of it😢there are useless! (Hand out) looking for a free hand out😂
Noone cares apparently
Nobody ever said it wasn't. The video, if you could use your eyes, ears, or brain, is comparing Alberta to Saskatchewan.
Watching this video and the montage of Edmonton starts to roll including the office tower that I'm currently sitting in watching this video.
I grew up Saskatoon, moved to Calgary in 2000 and been here ever since. Saskatoons downtown (and Regina’s) feels unsafe. Alberta government paid for me to go back to school to upgrade my high school with living expenses. I then graduated SAIT as an electrical technologist and now run my own company. Saskatchewan just does not have those opportunities. At least they didn’t 25 years ago.
Manitoba is pouting now. Métis = mayTEE. Potash = POTash. Saskatchewan is also the only province that rejects Daylight Savings. Saskatoon is whitespeak from the Cree word 'Mis-sask-quah-too-mina' berry tree, that are similar to blueberries. Hoodies are called bunnyhugs. Alberta has oil but Sask has the One Red Paperclip.
Actually, Saskatchewan set their clocks one hour ahead in April of 1975 and left them there. We have had Permanent Daylight time for the last 49 years. Well, not quite true, the eastern third of SK is in the Central Time zone, so they are on Permanent Central Time. The western 2/3 is in the Mountain Time zone so has been on Permanent Mountain Daylight time since 1975.
RED PAPERCLIP MENTIONED
@@Rancid-Jane this is false, the entirety of Saskatchewan is on central standard time year round. Which means for half the year they are central and half the year they are mountain time. The entire province (with exceptions to Lloydminister since it’s a border town) is always the same time zone.
@@Rancid-Jane ah really, I didn't know that! I would like perma-DL in Alberta.
@@lynb1022 It works very well. Unfortunately many people in Sask no longer remember that this happened.
I am disappointed there is NO MENTION of Palliser's Triangle. This semi-arid area of both the southern parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta makes for a challenge that most of us from the U.S. don't understand. I am aware of this because I had a great aunt and her husband settle in the middle of it, Golden Prairie, SK. This is 2 hours north of the Montana border and my contact there says they have been in a multi-year drought, not uncommon for that area. Initially it was felt this are should NOT be farmed because it was so dry.
You are correct.
@@Rancid-Jane yesterday and today we have gotten almost 4 “ of rain. This is. Rare happening in this semi desert. Medicine Hat, Alberta
@@dweisner9749 Record breaking rainfall for one day I heard.
I agree about the triangle. I live there and it is hard to believe we are still trying to act as though it is lush Farm land. The Great Sand hills are here because itt t is so dry and arid. South Saskatchewan has a history of settlement, and then abandonment, as the towns burned down from grass fires, farms were lost to drought, and equipment loans from the bank lost the farm. My family farmed here since 1891, and we’re not able to keep any of the land on all four branches of our family (great grandparents). There is very little wildlife left as well, no longer a natural resource. But the sunsets are very beautiful!
Gonna get worse as the South Sask River dries up over the next 100 years
Sask has near the same population as its Manitoba neighbor,and more than it''s southern neighbors of Montana,Wyoming and the Dakota States and much more than it's northern NWT neighbor and for the first half of the 20th century higher population than Alberta
Also The Chinook Belt (Generally Extending To The Red Deer River Valley & The Cypress Hills) Made Winters More Bearable (Albeit More Unpredictable) In Alberta.
i was never clear as to why winters are considered unbearable, with heated interiors, and you only go outside to go from point A to B anyway.
I'm actually driving to Manitoba and Saskatchewan as part of a road trip next month. Trying to get to all 13 Canadian provinces, and they will be #9 and 10.
Don’t do it, it’s a waste of time, just go straight to the cool parts. BC and AB. The rest are literally useless
@niubi42069 already been to those two. Yellowknife was awesome as well, along with Quebec and NS.
I know it will be boring as hell. One night in each and then back down.
You'll love it!
10 provinces, 3 territories
@jtmachete yeah, thanks, I know. Been to one already (NWT).
I’m from Manitoba, moved to Alberta. My mother’s family is from Saskatchewan. Alberta and Saskatchewan both have 2 ‘large’ cities with very similar populations to each other. This would be Calgary and Edmonton, & Saskatoon and Regina. Winnipeg is larger than Saskatoon and Regina combined. Very good video, according to a Canadian who lives in Calgary.
These provinces have similar population ratios to Texas and Ohio but at obviously lower population rates.
nah i live in saskatoon, this city is tiny compared to calgary or edmonton.
Good ol' Saskatchewan. As a kid in Canada we had a joke about the province: it's so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. Kidding aside, I am surprised more was not discussed about the large influx of Ukrainians into the province. A lot of surnames with the suffix of 'chuck' come from there.
Yes, there are a lot of Ukrainians in Saskatchewan that’s for sure lol. I live there and I feel like I’m one of the only people without Ukrainian heritage sometimes lol
Have 10 million "international students" (international makes it sound like they come from many countries but really it's just one) not made their way that far west yet? Believe me, they're coming. Sincerely, someone who lives 1.5hrs east of the MB/SK border.
Lived in Saskatchewan for 3 years doing graduate work. First winter there temperatures didn’t get above -30 degrees C for 3 weeks. Having grown up in Colorado, Alberta seemed much more like home.
Manitoba is also a prairie province.
And 2+2=4.
Alberta also has farmland almost to the North West a Territory border and north west into BC around Grand Prairie. North of Prince Albert Saskatchewan begins to turn to dense wetlands and main roads stop shortly.
The prairie provinces include Manitoba. If you have ever been to Manitoba you would know why.
Maybe try being part of western Canada then
@@ryans413 I swear I forget Manitoba even exists until somebody mentions it. Then I think it's a city somewhere in Sask. 🤣
Explain? Western provinces have ndp and conservative leadership like manitoba. Never liberal. @@ryans413
I lived in Alberta back in 98, we’d visit family in Manitoba.. the drive through Saskatchewan was long and forever.
Fascinating as always. Thanks!
Oil. The answer is oil.
I always thought Manitoba was a prairie province. I guess there's too much water there.
It is a prairie province, the video guy either misspoke/forgot or doesn’t know Canada very well
Don't worry your not crazy the guy who made the video is lol
@@iem123ya I think he doesn’t know Canada well, you can tell by the way he says Saskatchewan. And anyone who went to school learns the 3 prairie provinces are MB SK and AB
Alberta produces nearly 4M barrels of oil per day. Texas produces 5.6M with 6x the population.
The oil companies saw the landscape of Calgary and put headquarters there so they could look at that when they went home.
They saw Edmonton and decided this would be an ok place to make smell bad with the oil processing.
Water is extraordinarily limiting for both province's rural development. Especially with climate change on the horizon, water rights are being renegotiated because of long-term droughts.
Saskatchewan just might be the most fun word ever to say in English. I am from California.
We don't typically use the term "tribes" in Canada. The technical equivalent today is "bands", but in the context it was used in the video, you can just say "nations".
you can call them savages
Not much more savage than the Europeans @@AverageCanadianStinky
Suggestion: There are Canadian Provinces where at least half their population live in just one metro area:
Metro Vancouver, BC
Gtr Winnipeg, Manitoba
Gtr Montreal, Quebec
Gtr Charlottetown, PEI
Halifax Regional District, NS
Manitoba is a Prairie Province, the Great Canadian Shield opens up to the prairies. Which starts at Manitoba. Geoff should know his geography.
SK has discovered oil now too, the south east is part of the shale oil deposit with ND, there is oil on the border with AB in Lloydminster, both being active and then there is the huge deposit of oil sands in the north west that are almost entirely untapped
And SK has discovered large amounts of natural gas
I'm from Manitoba and that is the prairie's too so...
manitoba is MUCH older (1870) than the other two prairies provinces and although it has the largest cut of the aspen parkland region (some of the ritchest soil in the entire world
being the same type of soil as ukraine which has for centuries been the bread basket of europe)
it is more well known for it's history and for it's bustling transportation center
having railroads from almost every major us and canadian city basically making it the transportation hivemind of north america
and being directly inbetween the atlantic and pacific oceans giving it a strategic location to connect your railway to
as the canadian pacific ran through canada all the way to the west making american railways want to connect
coming from an albertan
great vid G!!
A good part of the southern part of Alberta is much heavier populated than Saskatchewan, because of access to irrigation water, where it its badly needed. This has spurred feedlots and high value crops and secondary processing. In Sask the irrigation water is further north where it isn't needed as much.
Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba make up Canada's prairie provinces.
We know.
sounds like the difference between Arizona and New Mexico
Oklahoma and Texas come to mind as well. Saskatchewan has a small rivalry with Manitoba but Alberta is just on a different level and is more concerned with comparing itself to B.C. and being a national presence for 'the West'.
The soil in the plains is not fertile and often requires significant irrigation to grow more than grass. Look up 'Palliser's Triangle' and that this area was determined to be not suitable for habitation. Geographically to me at least the Cypress Hills which straddles the southern border of AB and SK is the most interesting part of Saskatchewan. The Cypress Hills has the highest elevation east of the Rockies and a unique biome
Your channel and videos are stunning. You're a grography master... kudos!
No he is not, the first line in this video was incorrect he said Alberta and Saskatchewan make up canada prairies, this is untrue .. Manitoba also is including on that list .. so he got basic information that is easy to find wrong on this video so he is far from a geography master, sounds like your not one either 😂😂
Great video! I feel badly for Saskatchewan! I would suggest that you do a video on Manitoba and British Columbia!
The eastern border of Saskatchewan is a "correction meridian" so that you can have all rectangular shaped lots. The effect would be particularly large here because Canada is somewhat close to the North Pole. However, it does beg the question: why didn't they use the same technique on the opposite side of Saskatchewan? Maybe you should do a video of where there are other correction meridians like this - could be an interesting topic for geography nerds.
Very neat. Love your vids.
Half a century head start on Oil & Gas development. Saskatchewan DOES have a significant O&G Sector now, but certainly smaller and newer. Until the Great Depression, Saskatchewan was the third most populated province in the country.
great video. Something I felt missing was a graphic showing the population growth of each province over time.
He also forgot to mention Manitoba who is part of the prairies
@@puffysnow8504Why mention Manitoba when you're comparing Alberta and Saskatchewan?
Went ahead and subscribed buddy!!
You completely omitted the most beautiful (in my estimation) province, Manitoba. Canada’s best kept secret is Manitoba’s north.
I am an immigrant coming from Brazil currently living in Canada. Over almost 6 years, I've lived in 5 different cities, including Edmonton, Calgary, and Saskatoon. I recommend any of these cities to live. They are good cities to live and to find options. I really enjoyed my time in each of them, but my favorite city is Calgary.
As a Person who was born, Raised in Saskatchewan, and lived in Alberta, the host on this video is right and wrong. Economic factors is the biggest reason why there is a great difference between provinces in population. but there are other reasons that need to be taken into account. Political Ideology is another reason. Although Saskatchewan in recent years is considered to be a Conservative/Right-Wing province now. In the past, it was considered to be an extremely Socialist/Left-Wing in it's foundation. To some degree, it's still has some Socialist implementation to this day.
The O&G matters of Alberta is kind of a myth. Alberta is still a O&G Mecca, it's fully relies on Tar Sands oil projects. Saskatchewan has more accessible O&G industry, many companies do not want to establish roots in Saskatchewan for Prejudicial reasons.
"Saskatchwanic Socialist Peoples Republic"
there had to be more than just prejudice, though. there had to be another, much more important reason. maybe its too costly.
@@matthewbarabas3052 My personal belief is that much of this Anti-Corporation resentment originated from Tommy Douglas being premier of Saskatchewan. Tommy Douglas was very much an Anti-Corporation in his ideology. His belief is that if the province required a corporation, it should be a Crown Corporstion only. The reasonfor this is that he didn't want the Saskatchewan Government to be subordinate to any Major Multinational Corporation.
Regina could have been what Calgary is today because many Corporations, including Muilti-National Corporations (MNC) wanted to plant roots in Regina. Douglas wouldn't allow it.
@@crazystewart34i bet he could look at calgary today, see how well off and safe and livable is, and the look at his own shithole small city of regina, and consider his anti corperation policies worth it.
As a Saskatchewan person born and raised here I'd say the brutal winters and extremely high taxes in Saskatchewan. And it's only getting worse with government wasteful spending so taxes keep going up.
SK Premier sucks !
@@mark72141 I totally agree. I heard a former Sask party member actually say a quote from Scott Moe. She said behind closed doors that Saskatchewan conservative voters have zero choices... It's him (Moe) or nobody. He has conservatives forced to choose between him or a liberal or NDP and that is voters only choices.
So yes I agree our provincial premier sucks in a big way... Personally I think he is far more libtard than conservative.
Edit: I forgot to mention that another UA-cam video about Saskatchewan politics had a politician in our province mention Scott Moe was running a deficit for Saskatchewan that was larger per capita than Justin Trudeau's insane national debt. Which proves just how bad our Sask Party truely is.
Geoff thank you for giving my hometown Prince Albert a shoutout!!!
The Toronto region has 10 times the population of sask and double of both provinces together. That’s crazy to think about
Oil
Saskatchewan the land of potash oil and wheat
Treaties insured the land could be parcelled out to European settles while controlling the tribes on “ reserves”
Alberta has the mountains which everybody loves a lot more oil.
We both have a “ forest industry “ in the northern areas.
U forgot about the peace river valley
I'm just happy that you pronounced Regina correctly. My American friends all laugh when I say it right. (I was born in Saskatoon)
Just a note on pronunciation for the tribes since they're kind of odd, Saulteux sounds like so-toe/so-doe said quickly with a lazy dt sound and metis comes from french and sounds like may-tee, but good attempts and good video!
I'll save you all the time. Oil and jobs.
Where’s the O in Saskatchewan? You’re switching the A for O at the end of the name. The way a Regina or Saskatoon resident would pronounce their province is to truncate the end and say “Saskatchewn”
Here is one reason, mega farms have destroyed the family farms, and small towns lose population and services, which creates a death spiral. in 1990 I drove across the country, there were hundreds of thriving small towns with grain elevators, in 2018 i saw maybe 20 huge grain elevators and almost no small towns left.
No mention of the Canadian Shield? The Canadian Shield makes large parts of Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and northern Ontario for that matter difficult to do anything with, aside from mining. The further west you go the more fertile the land, until you hit the Rockies.
Yeah, I don't live there either. My Father in Law grew up there, it was a tough life on a farm during the droughts and depression.
They don't call it "Oilberta" for nothing.
"Texas North" ... "Howdy?"
1:39 “Métis” is pronounced “May Tee”.
It’s French, you usually don’t pronounce the last letter.
In the case of métis, we do pronounce the "s" in French.
Ohhhhhhh hurray thanks for that absolute useless tidbit of info hahaha 🙄
But Metis don't speak French. In fact, they hate frogs.
@@mark72141 hahaha can’t hate them to much haha that’s how the Métis were made hahaha
@@Kingfisher276 Blame the European invaders for raping the Natives.
People from outside western Canada call it SaskatcheWAAAN. We pronounce it Saskatchewin, with very little emphasis on the win.
I love living in beautiful Saskatoon. I have an nice cabin at an amazing Saskatchewan lake also. I’ve travelled all over, and I always look forward to returning home.
I have some German relatives from Saskatchewan and when I was young, they talked about living in Regina all the time. I was perpetually confused.
Why were you confused? I don't quite understand.

Weshalb hatte Kanada noch immer Englands Oberhaupt, zugleich als Kanadas Oberhaupt?
Man weiß nie, ob man jemanden Brutalen, wie zum Beispiel Heinrich VIII., König von England, bekommt!

In Kanada ist doch genug Platz für diese.
Years ago I saw a map of oil wells in Alberta and Saskatchewan. They mysteriously stopped at the border. Alberta has been much friendlier to resource investors than Saskatchewan.
There is a major oil and gas industry in Saskatchewan now but, yes, Alberta was much more active in exploration and almost all the corporate head offices and refineries are in Alberta as a result. The oil sands, in particular, extend into western Sasaktchewan extensively but will probably never get heavily developed.
the only way Saskatchewan will catch up to Alberta, is if more of the world adopts nuclear power, either thorium, or uranium. Alberta grew so much more rapidly due to its oil reserves. If the world adopts nuclear, then that dynamic shifts to Saskatchewan, considering Saskatchewan alone has the 5th largest supply of thorium in the world, and puts Canada at #4 when including the rest of Canada, and over 60% of Canada's Uranium is in Saskatchewan, with an unusually high supply of naturally occurring enriched uranium or U-238.
Sask used to actually have a higher population than AB in the early decades of the 20th century. For the last half of the 20th century and even today the amount of Sask expats in Alberta is significant. So many leave for Alberta’s “greener” pastures. Everyone always makes fun of Sask’s geography but I’d say Alberta’s is generally more boring (have you ever driven from the Sask border to Calgary?) their saving grace is a sliver of mountains before the BC border.
Different payment amounts also because 1 gets paid more in Alta for doing the same jobs in sask who recently just moved minimum wage to 14$-Hr. I got paid more in Alta, and Sask is dirty with lots of homeless litter whereas Calgary as an example is always clean! Sk cities are only clean looking in winter when snow is covering the litter.
Liked and previously subscribed. Did you exclude Manitoba as a prairie province on purpose to boost comments to help with the algorithms? I've never before heard that Manitoba is not a prairie province.
My guess, is that because this video was on Saskatchewan and Alberta, he excluded Manitoba for simplicity. I could be wrong.
Its also becaue of the soil in Alberta. The aspen parkland region has black chernozem soil that brought Ukrainian farmers over and eventually oil was found and even more population was broight in
There is a great video by real life lore called why the us interior is vastly emptier Alberta that explains this in depth.
...isn't Manitoba also a prairie province?
Manitoba is also a prairie province, right?
Do you ask a local to ck your info? Even in the picture of great plains it clearly cuts into manitoba.
i do not even have to watch the video to answer the question. SK has the northern half of the province covered with the Churchill River System. Hard to live on wetlands
Why are you omitting Manitoba, it's a prairie province
Manitoba is omitted because the province is now occupied by Asians and Filipinos.
Manitoba is also a prairie province
Looks like Colorado and Nebraska, with a caveat being colorado has less food and less oil than Mannitoba.
A larger population does not automatically make it a better state or province. It add up to the criteria each person makes when choosing, prrovided they have a choice.
The use of the modern HBC logo instead of the coat of arms 😂
As someone that lives on the saskatchewan. Alberta boarders we do have it all❤❤
I love how you named a bunch of the cities with WHL teams (Go Winterhawks!)
Yes Saskatchewan might not have an NHL team but we have a very high number of WHL teams compared to our overall population.
@@iem123 I've always wanted to drive to each of the cities in the WHL (well, the Canadian teams). Then I realize the cost of gas, and change my mind.
@@This.Here.Channel lol, yah not really all in a line and you’d be going all over the place
Another reason why Saskatchewan is so low in Population is the lack Major businesses. I live in Moose Jaw and there is little in way of Job opportunities. Real Estate is also a big key factor too; a house that was selling for 30,000 dollars 20 years ago is now going for 10 to 20 times that value. There are so many other under lying things as to why Saskatchewan is so under populated.
Saskatchewan is a great province to hunt and fish. Great province for farming and ranching. But the weather is the worst. Long cold winters, always windy all year. We’re a fly over province. But there’s lots of open spaces and no traffic.
If you're in a plane and look down on Saskatchewan during winter, all you see in flat white.
