A fairly rudimentary Google Search yields zero results for a search on "Hey, at least we're not Saskatchewan!" -- so I really question how widespread it really is. On that note - I'm not sure why Manitoba has started up with the jokes. I can't really see anything that would be having me set foot in Winnipeg (or is it Winterpeg?) anytime soon.
Furthermore, I've never really cared whether or not Saskatchewan is desireable to cronies who live in Alberta or Manitoba. I've had many discussions on the psychology between the rabid Saskatchewan bashing that goes on (particularly in Alberta), as it's quite odd. If you're in Alberta, why do you care so much about Saskatchewan? There are a lot of places I wouldn't like to live for a whole variety of reasons. That doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with them. I'm sure there are many places a lot "worse" than Saskatchewan, yet I'm not sure I would ever bring myself to bash them -- especially a fellow Canadian province. Talk about poor taste.
I'm still waiting for an intelligent, non-facetious answer to my question on what's so bad about Saskatchewan that couldn't be fixed with a government changeup. Really.
What's wrong with living in Saskatchewan that couldn't be alleviated with a change in the government? I like living here, and will continue to live here unless the government isn't swapped out during the next provincial election.
