Direct flights from Saskatchewan - good luck with that. When we flew to MoBay in Dec 2013 it cost over $1500 each return, plus the cost of a hotel in Toronto overnight. It's funny how it seems people from Ontario have an attitude they are the only place in Canada.
As for Canadians being friendly, well on a previous trip we had an overnighter in Minneapolis. We ended up spending a few hours at the mall of America. Without question, in every store we entered, the sales staff were so pleasant and friendly I wanted to puke LOL. Seriously, we have met countless people from Minnesota while in Negril, and they remind me of us prairie Canadians. No attitude and fun to hang with.
