Comparing Saskatoon & Regina: 6 Reasons Why Regina is Better Than Saskatoon - Regina vs. Saskatoon

[@StarlieMarly-um9tn]

Dude your videos have gotten noticeably better from your first few to your most recent bunch! Just seem more relaxed on camera. Love your Saskatchewan content, honestly some of the most interesting material on Saskatchewan Ive seen. Keep it up! :)

[@strangenorth]

Hey thank you, I appreciate it! I'm definitely gradually feeling incrementally better on camera and trying to slowly improve the overall quality. Honestly I think I love Saskatchewan more than anyone that was not born or raised there lol. I appreciate your support, cheers! :)

[@countroshculla]

Good job in doing the comparison. Very interesting. Subbed. Cheers, eh!

[@strangenorth]

I appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching - I was hoping it might be useful for someone, cheers!

I remember so many Greek pizza places in Edmonton in the 80,s. That pic brought back memories. Columbus pizza and Marios on whyte around 91 st. They were open till 3 and 5 a.m . Miss them both

[@strangenorth]

I love those old classic pizza places, Coliseum pizza on 118 in Edmonton still has that vibe. Regina pizza parlors are some of my favorite though!

[@bu-video]

Thank you for the videos. I was hoping to hear more about the weather comparison, or public transportation systems, or rental prices/affordability and related things. But still something to keep in mind. Thanks again.

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback - I can actually give you a very brief rundown on those points: In terms of weather, Saskatoon is more moderate - Regina gets a bit colder in the winter and a bit warmer in the summer. But they have similar weather patterns and both are relatively sunny. The transit system is way better in Saskatoon - Saskatoon is considerably bigger than Regina and their transit system has about twice as many bus routes and more city coverage. Rental prices are similar between cities, but actually lately the rentals have been slightly less expensive in Saskatoon. More living option in the central core of that city too. Hope that helps, cheers!

Was born in Saskatoon in the late 1960s so I don't remember much about it. But I lived in Regina for about 9 years before I moved to Alberta in the late 1970s so I remember Regina well from wascana park to seeing the Saskatchewan Roughriders but to compare the two I guess I would have to one day make a visit to Saskatoon.

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! Yeah honestly I enjoy both cities but I much prefer Saskatoon - in my opinion it has developed into the better city overall. Definitely worth a road trip if you haven't been there in awhile! Cheers mate

[@jswaich]

Can't thank you enough for this video. I will be moving to Regina soon and the food suggestions you included will definitely be on my list.

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback! Definitely check out Houston Pizza :) All the best with your move!

[@vivisector9999]

Good job on both comparison videos. Just wanted to say that you missed Saskatoon's biggest sports team. The Rush.

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - fair point actually! Cheers mate

[@kelbale]

Regina is better than Saskatoon because it exists on the TransCanada highway, because it's 2 hours from cross-border shopping opportunities in the US, because it is not so isolated from other major Canadian cities, because Regina has much better golf courses and public recreation facilities, because Regina has a city-wide recreation path that takes you through all the major parks, because Regina has fewer people and less traffic, because Regina has an arena and exhibition grounds that are centrally located, because Regina has a world-class soundstage for movie/TV production, because Regina has the First Nation's University, because Regina features immediately adjacent bedroom communities that don't feel like cities, because Regina has the largest agricultural show in the world every fall called Agribition, because Regina gets Royal visits, because Regina has Canada's oldest continuously operating symphony Orchestra (RSO) and the Globe Theatre, because Regina gets more sunshine, and much more!

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for watching, great points!

Saskatoon pizza hall of fame all from the 80s and maybe early 90s - Ninos Broadway location only. Salonika Inn 8th Street. Geno's on 8th also. Venice House sometimes. Tried to order from Santa's Pizza once on Christmas eve and they were closed.

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for the history! Saskatoon is one of my favorite cities in North America

[@pathmasasikumar]

You missed one of the biggest issue. Regina real estate is cheaper than Saskatoon

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for watching - fair point!

[@yarrowcentral]

lol really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find any ways Regina could be better

[@strangenorth]

I definitely prefer Saskatoon but I genuinely enjoy certain aspects of Regina ! Cheers mate

My dad's family is from here (Regina) we moved here in 1999 . My dad would tell me all the time you don't know a pizza until you've had a pizza pie from Regina! We have amazing pizza!! If you have the chance I suggest Jimmy's Pizzeria!!! Jimmy's is a greek family owned establishment, amazing food all around so many options and hearty portions so left overs for next day!

[@strangenorth]

Hey I appreciate the recommendation, I've only had Regina style pizza at Houston and Western! I really like the pizza in that city and I usually stop off at Houston's original Hill Ave location for lunch when I'm in town. Cheers mate, have a great week!

[@kumogate]

When we're in Regina, we love visiting the Natural History Museum

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - it's a beautiful spot! Cheers mate

[@jasonflt]

Saskatoon has one location that makes trifons pizza. Also you are missing Trifons pizza. Houston pizza changed there sauce and isn't as flavorful as it once was, eat it at the restaurant, it becomes Soggy when you get it delivered. Western pizza is very good but I have found Trifons sause the best. Best trifons is 9th ave north and board st. Location.

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time to comment - I actually haven't been to that place yet and I'll definitely check it out. Cheers mate!

[@rjforbes4804]

Nice video. Have a word about the "Regina" style pizza. "Greek" might be a better descriptor. Afaik, the Greek brothers that you refer to opened 3 restaurants in Moose Jaw and one in Regina. One of their sons has opened another since then. These days the only original location left is Rodo's in Moose Jaw on 9th Ave SW, the son owns The Mad Greek on Main. You haven't lived until you've had medium or large Rodo's pizza. It's the original, accept no substitutes lol. Their other food is also very good. That being said. You're bang on about Houston's on Hill Ave. Best pie in the city. Nice bit about Robin's Donuts too. It is much better than Timmy's these days. Regina's biggest downfalls are twofold. A huge crime problem saddled with a lack of political will at the provincial level to address the root causes of criminality which exasperates the problem. I just found your channel on a couple of days ago and I really like your content irt the Prairie cities. Subbed.

[@strangenorth]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate the feedback - thanks for the Rodo's recommendation, I'll actually be in Moose Jaw this summer I'll definitely stop by. I'll be traveling through Regina too and I plan on grabbing some more Houston pizza and Robin's donuts and iced coffee. I appreciate the support, yeah I definitely focus on the prairie region of Canada - my favorite area - but I'd like to gradually expand my scope over time. Cheers!

Regina is the Shelbyville to Saskatoon’s Springfield.

[@strangenorth]

Interesting comparison!

[@keewatin427]

@@strangenorth as a person who grew up in Saskatoon and lived in Regina, it’s a statement that indicts both places.

[@evanlinford6256]

You're right, Regina pizza is great!

[@strangenorth]

Some of the best I've had, I love how Regina has it's own regional style - one of the many surprises of the prairies!

[@user-gc5qs8we8t]

Grew up in Saskatoon there was that type of pizza with the sauce underneath in the 70’s nothing new

Thanks for watching!

What does Sandra Masters have on you that you made you make this video...lol

[@strangenorth]

lol she took care of a few speeding tickets I got in SK. Thanks for watching!

[@fropen3401]

Spent alot of time in both cities and prefer Saskatoon- however Regina has a better youth amateur sports infrastructure so if you want the quiet family life where the kids are into sports Regina would be a better fit. Also a little cheaper housing and living expenses in Regina

[@strangenorth]

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate when people take the time leave feedback - interesting point, each city definitely has advantages over the other. I prefer Saskatoon too and I visit at least once a year for fun. I was actually in both Saskatoon and Regina last summer - I love that Regina style pizza! Cheers mate, have a great week!

[@davidedwards3838]

I miss robins doughnuts

[@strangenorth]

Me too, used to love going there when I was a kid in Edmonton

[@davidedwards3838]

@@strangenorth i live in Ottawa now. have lived all over Canada. grew up in Thunder Bay. after watching your video. i looked up robins locations. believe it or not one just opened in Ottawa. 20 minute drive from my house. i went there this evening. got there too late. they were out of donuts. got a coffee. 4 minute round trip for a coffee. lol. there is literally a Timmies across the street from me

[@strangenorth]

Oh no way, surprised they're opening new spots, especially in this economy! I think their donuts are better than timmies, iced coffee too, I'd definitely take the time to drive to one if they had any in the Edmonton area!@@davidedwards3838

I agree, but there are things I appreciate about each city. Cheers

Also Regina is much easier to drive around compared to Saskatoon.

there is still a robin's doughnuts in saskatoon

Hey thanks for watching - I thought the last one closed fairly recently, where is that? Cheers mate

you know what not so bad, some legitimate advantages in Regina - I worked in the city for 6 months awhile back and I grew to appreciate it.

[@carlb3715]

@@strangenorth Fair! I lived in Saskatoon for many years and use to hate it when I had to travel to Regina for a gig. Perhaps because I only really got to see the Victoria Ave/Dewdney area.

[@bighugejake]

I can’t disagree with you more about the pizza thing. Thick greasy disgusting doughy mush. Always cut into squares even though it’s a circle for some god forsaken reason. It’s the one thing I really hate about Regina.
