Well I really think the politics should be left for a seperate thread just b/c it will become overbearing in this one. Living in Calgary for a while all I can say is that city has ZERO personality, it's big and boring. I lived d/t, which is "the place to be" and it was about as exciting as a wet dish rag...not to mention dangerous. Calgary is a commercial, industry based city, not entertainment and tourism. I really think if we want Saskatoon to be a progressive world class metropolis, yes I used world class, we really need to focus on developing the city as a place to be desired. When it comes down to it, nobody cares if you have husky oil head offices in your city b/c, well its just boring. People like to be enticed like they are in Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto. Saskatoon has plenty of potential to be in this ranking, we just need big thinkers and well I guess some dollars to go along with it, but i feel that will be coming to the city soon. Within our life times we will witness a major transformation of this city from a sleepy prairie city into a desired metropolis.
