Saskatchewan
To quote from Corner Gas
Brent LeRoy: Want me to fill it up?
Man: Sure. You know I've never driven across Saskatchewan before.
Brent LeRoy: Well, you still haven't really. About halfway to go yet.
Man: Sure is flat.
Brent LeRoy: How do you mean?
Man: You know, flat. Nothing to see.
Brent LeRoy: What do you mean, like topographically? Hey Hank, this guy says Saskatchewan is flat.
Hank Yarbo: How do you mean?
Brent LeRoy: Topographically I guess. He says there's nothin' to see.
Hank Yarbo: There's lots to see. There's nothin' to block your view.
Brent LeRoy: There's lots to see. Nothin' to block your view. Like the mountains back there. They're uh... Well, what the hell? I could've sworn there was a big mountain range back there. Juttin' up into the sky all purple and majestic. I must be thinkin' of a postcard I saw or somethin'. Hey, it is kinda flat, thanks for pointin' that out.
Man: You guys always this sarcastic?
Brent LeRoy: There's nothin' else to do.

Heh. Great quote.
On topic though, where I grew up, south south east of Regina about 40 km (about 20 km from "Corner Gas") it _is_ flat. Table-top flat.
Now I live in Delisle. It isn't flat. Sure, it's "almost" flat, if you stay on the high-way. They follow the railway right of way. The rails always choose the most flat route.
Half a click off the pavement though and its ravines and coulees.
And that's just here, forgetting the entire north of S'toon.
Beautiful province.
Cheers,
lance
