It's a good article from Canadian Living but the nomenclature is misattributed.As I understand it, the song is about David Milgaard, referencing Saskatoon as the "Paris of the Prairies", as that is where the nurse Gail Miller was from and the murder took place.
A kick ass tune regardless IMO.

Saskatoon was called "Paris of the Prairies" by none other than Bob Dylan long before Gord Downie put pen to paper.
