I’m not mad about this, so I’m not putting this is the BBQ, I just want to point this out.

Last night, Regina Hall was on Conan. She mentioned that she had been to Canada, and that there they call her /Ree-GIGH-na/. Everyone laughed at how it rhymes with vagina. Then she mentions that in Canada, they have a province called Regina.

Wrong, Regina. Regina is the capitol of a province. Regina is the capitol city of Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is the province.

But hey, WE WERE MENTIONED ON TV!

I’m only here to roll my eyes in agreement. I live in a city called **Fort** Saskatchewan. Which, is in Alberta.

I get so many, “Ohhhhh I know where Saskatchewan is!” responses… I now just say I’m from Edmonton. 😛
