  • I'm probably not the best person to ask. I've never lived in Regina, but from visiting it's similar to Saskatoon, except it has a man-made lake instead of a nice river valley. It's a nice enough city, but it's also clearly a government town. As for London, I've never been. I have family there, and part of my family moved to Saskatchewan from London over 100 years ago.

  • I would have, but my first minimum wage-type job was after high school. I didn't make enough to pay into CPP, but I don't know if that's a universal truth for younger workers or just because I didn't work more than 10 hours a week.

    Also fun fact, going back go my original comment about wage: Saskatchewan's October increase to its general minimum wage won't catch up to Ontario's current student wage. Things are cheaper here, yes, but things aren't (much if any) cheaper in Saskatoon or Regina than in London.

  • Since this post is about Saskatchewan, I'll add that Saskatchewan doesn't have a student wage, just one minimum wage.

    It also happens to be about $1.20 less than Ontario's student wage. I like my province, but man does it have its issues.

  • No, Saskatchewan also doesn't exist. We get very little from the feds, for two reasons:

    1. We never vote Liberal, so they do little to earn our vote.
    2. We always seem to vote Conservative, so they do little to earn our vote.

    When good things happen it's because of a unicorn like Ralph Goodale. The NDP could have a fighting chance for a few seats here, but they need to actually campaign and realise that they're #2 in nearly every riding in the province.

  • There's a fairly inactive community for Saskatoon: !saskatoon@lemmy.ca

    Hopefully putting it here gets it more visibility.

    Edit: Since we don't really hate each other, even if we pretend to, I'll also point out Regina's community: !regina@lemmy.ca

  • Yep, all four of my kids said stuff like that. It's totally believeable. And GP's comment just makes me believe even more that the only people who know more about parenting than people one child are people with no children.

  • Not really. Modern games will claim to be free to play, with many parts of the game hidden behind microtransactions, or they'll be paid with the option to buy more.

    Doom never claimed to be free to play. It was always 100% up front that the shareware version wasn't much more than a playable demo. The paid version of Doom was the complete game.
