Believe it or not, RPL offers ~5000 programs a year. This was one of the best (and most successful) I’ve been to, popping down during my lunch hour last week:
A guy I went to elementary school with posted this time lapse video of the drive from Yorkton, SK to Regina, SK. Normally about a two hour drive, this video condenses the trip to five minutes (and every time he passes a car will make you feel like you’re on a highway in Mexico for […]
