Saskatchewan Town Reconsiders "Land of Rape and Honey" Slogan
LatestIf there’s one thing I love about Canada, it’s its forthrightness—that fresh, earnest ability to put it all on the table without shame, take it or leave it. Like Tisdale, in the Saskatchewan province: a landlocked little town of 3,000 or so people, proudly home to rape and honey.
That’s “rapeseed” and honey, rather—rapeseed being the grain that canola oil is derived from—but it doesn’t hide the fact that for the past 60 years, the town has relied on the above-pictured slogan as a way to promote its finest exports (and attract what I presume would be a very small number of tourists). That might change, according to CBC News, which says that the town has released a survey asking residents whether the “brand” is still relevant.
