Corner Gas is Going Live Across Canada!

Ok, you may have heard about the Corner Gas Live across Canada tour, and that is great. I am sure people are going to love going out and enjoying a night of comedy with Brent Butt and have a chance to ask questions of some of the Corner Gas cast. That sounds like a great time, but I think that they should change the title from "Corner Gas Live Across Canada" to "Corner Gas Live Across Canada EXCEPT Saskatchewan". Can you believe it, they are doing this tour across Canada and the dates include stops in Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Ottawa, and Toronto....hmmmm what province did they skip over between Alberta and Manitoba....oh right Saskatchewan, the province where Corner Gas is set and where the show is shot. I can only hope that the organizers of this tour have realized that they kind of missed a prairie province and will at least put one date in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan Encyclopedia

According to the CBC news there has been a new Saskatchewan encyclopedia published by the University of Regina. It contains 2100 entries about the province along with 21 essays. Apparently it took 800 writers nine years to write and edit to have it ready for the Saskatchewan Centennial. Look for the Saskatchewan Encyclopedia in your local bookstore!
