re: #193 Anymouse 🌹

Saskatchewan is pretty conservative as well (at least the rural areas where I’ve mostly been).

When I was last in Regina however, I did get shouted at by a large crowd near a restaurant … I was called a “baby killer” (no kidding), presumably over the Gold Star Family plate on my car (I can’t think of another reason other than maybe being an American - couldn’t have been the trilby hat, or the long hair, or the Smart car …)

My wife was pretty rattled by that. We jumped back in the car and went elsewhere to eat.

It’s a constant fight to retain the social/economic gains made in the name of socialism even in SK. The province has leaned right for the past 30 yrs in the rural areas, & Regina has been invaded by AB conservatives since oil has become our big economic driver.

We also have a small but vocal group of pro-life assholes who hold gatherings so they can yell at people. I’m sorry you had to go through that shit.
