Saskatchewan RIDE Program
A term originating in Ontario used to describe something useless.
A RIDE program is what DUI checkpoints are called in Ontario, since they oringinated in Etobicoke RIDE stands for Recuced Impaired Driving in Etobicoke which was later changed to Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere once they became more widespread.
The joke among Ontario residents is that these RIDE programs (or whatever they happen to be called in Saskatchewan) would be absolutely useless in Saskatchewan as the province is so flat you would see the police lights from these roadblocks for miles away and easily be able to dodge them thus coining the phrase “as useful as a Saskatchewan RIDE program” to describe a useless person or object.
