Just when I thought I'd heard the worst of our local CTV news outlet, I
hear this.

"Saskatchewan has the most domestic violence incidents in Saskatchewan."

It is what it is.

Maybe the first of those was meant to read 'Saskatoon'?

A brief search in Wiki revealed that I did not know any of the names of
the major cities of Saskatchewan e.g. Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Yorkton,
Swift Current, North Battleford, Estevan, Weyburn, Melfort, and the
border city Lloydminster. (Who was Estevan (the Spanish for Steven) and
what was he doing there. Was he lost?)

Wikipedia: "The name origin is attributed to George Stephen's
registered telegraphic address, Estevan.[3] George Stephen was the
first President of the Canadian Pacific Railway from 1881 to 1888."

Incidentally, the usual spelling of the Spanish name is Esteban.

I imagine you'd heard of Regina and Saskatoon. For myself, I'd add
Prince Albert and Moose Jaw, though I wouldn't be confident that knew
what province they were in. I've been to Moose Jaw, but I don't
remember anything about it.

Just a slip of the tongue, I should think. The last word should no doubt
be 'Canada'.

'Saskatchewan has the worst intimate partner violence rate of any
province' -

I assume "intimate" relates to the type of "partnership" rather than
nature of the violence?

That's what I figured, but it is, I think, indicative of the amount of
care they take in speaking or reading, or pronouncing words.
