For all you Canadians who like to chuckle about how Dan Quayle couldn't spell "potato"...

REGINA (CP) - When it comes to provincial names, Saskatchewan is one of the toughest to spell - keeping four syllables and twelve letters straight can be tricky.
For the man who considers himself the province's premier-in-waiting, however, you'd think spelling the moniker would be second nature. Especially when you consider Opposition leader Brad Wall's party is the Saskatchewan Party.
That's why Wall was a little red-faced Wednesday when he was forced to explain why Saskatchewan was spelled Saskatchwan in one of his party's new TV ads.
