Take em off. Roads are dry already.
I know it's tempting to take alternate routes instead of the TCH west of Winnipeg but with the freeze-thaw and the Sask govt's decree to let heavy trucks use highways this spring because of a rail backlog, secondary highways will be an adventure. (as in they'll be really bad)
If you really like Corner Gas, it's 1/2 hour south of Regina so a bit out of your way. But the town is very small and it is a quick drive around the village to see all the houses/buildings used in the tv show.
You may wish to spend a couple hours in Regina's Wascana Park (Legislature, massive urban park) or you may wish to spend that time in Moose Jaw touring the tunnels. Those are underground museum's based on Al Capone's visits to Moose Jaw and the treatment of Chinese railroad workers. They're decent.
The trip from Moose Jaw to Swift Current and then on to Medicine Hat is surprisingly hilly.
