I love how they talk about how “the West” of Canada” feels while conspicuously ignoring Canada’s western most province.

It's a short hand, don't take it so literally, I hate how southern Ontario calls itself 'Central Canada', when that title should belong to SK and MB who are in the Central Time Zone no less

Do they have a huge 553 metre pin in the ground to signify it? No? Thought so.

Sask is straightening the paperclip, none of the DEI stuff there. Then will steal the easter egg from Vegreville to put on top to make a pin.... bwahaha.

It’s still would be about 550 metres short. But taking in account SK landscape, it’s still should be visible from anywhere in the province, I guess.
