Why Saskatchewan?
1) It's big, and flat, and a large percentage of the area is monoculture crops in giant fields, that get driven over by giant machines twice a year. The first spacecraft pieces were found at seeding time, the second at harvest.
2) Due to the orbits that have been chosen and simple geometry, we're under the densest band of satellites. (This is true everywhere ~50-54 latitude N and S)
It's not necessarily that we're getting hit by more, just finding them 😬
