Here's another article that doesn't require a sign-in.

Long story short: People in Saskatchewan call hoodies "bunny hugs" and no one knows why.

re: "no one knows why" i've heard it was like department store catalogue regional marketing copy. i know that doesn't fully explain "why" but it's at least a bit of an explanation.

I've heard so many explanations I'm pretty sure Saskatchewan is like the Joker, coming up with a different lie every time someone asks.

Also like the Joker, Saskatchewan is fictional
