It's worth being precise about how different this naming mechanism actually is from Borden's federal Minister of Militia namesake or Caron's own federal cabinet minister connection. A.R. Creelman wasn't a public political figure with any independent claim to civic honour — he was a working professional employed directly by the CPR itself, the company's own solicitor handling its legal affairs. Naming a townsite after a company's internal legal counsel reflects a genuinely more mundane, insider logic than honouring a sitting government minister — likely a matter of internal corporate recognition or convenience rather than any broader public commemoration.
The fact that locals had already settled on "Hazel" before the railway's renaming is worth its own real attention. That's a genuine, if quiet, example of a community's own naming preference being overridden by corporate decision-making once the railway itself held practical control over the townsite's official identity through its station naming and postal designation — a real, if understated, demonstration of just how much power railway companies held over small prairie communities' own formal identities during this era.
Creelman's real, if modest, growth from 85 to 103 residents since 2005 is worth noting as a positive, if not dramatic, recent trend — a genuine small increase for a village whose own name reflects one of the more corporate and least publicly significant namesake stories covered on this site.
On product: Kraze Giga 150K is a genuinely high-capacity disposable, in flavours like Holiday Mint, Cherry Blast G Ice, and Juicy Peach Ice. If you'd rather have a reusable device, the Vaporesso XROS 5 Nano is a compact pod system. Berry Drop 60ml, at a lower 3 mg/mL, is worth a look if a lighter nicotine strength fits what you're after.
Nicotine strength depends on device type more than personal preference. Kraze Giga 150K, like most disposables, is a mouth-to-lung device, and that category commonly runs 12 mg/mL up to Canada's federal cap of 20 mg/mL — a hard nationwide ceiling, nothing legally sold here exceeds it. Lower-concentration options like Berry Drop 60ml suit direct-lung setups or anyone who prefers a lighter strength regardless of device type.

Puff count is worth a quick word too: 2,000 to 4,000 suits occasional use, 5,000 to 7,000 covers daily use for most people, and anything above 8,000 mainly matters if reordering often isn't something you want to manage.
Railway companies renaming townsites after their own employees, rather than public figures, was a genuinely real, if less commonly discussed, practice across the prairies during the railway expansion era — a quieter, more internal form of naming logic than the more visible political tributes covered elsewhere on this site, worth recognizing as its own distinct category within the broader pattern of railway-driven place naming.
Every product carries the federal excise stamp and comes from an authorized Canadian distributor, worth checking regardless of where you buy or how mundane a given community's own namesake happens to be.
Whatever the original residents who chose "Hazel" thought of having their preferred name overridden by the railway company isn't documented in available sources — a real, if unrecorded, moment of local frustration or simple acceptance that likely played out in some form across a number of small prairie communities whenever a railway company's own naming decision took precedence over local preference during this specific era of provincial settlement.
It's worth adding that a name chosen for corporate, internal reasons rather than public commemoration doesn't make Creelman's own history any less real or worth knowing — a genuine, documented piece of how railway companies actually operated and made decisions during Saskatchewan's settlement era, even if the specific person honoured never achieved any broader public recognition beyond his own employer's records, a quiet corner of prairie naming history worth remembering all the same, even without the fame some other namesakes eventually gained, a genuinely modest legacy compared to the war heroes and cabinet ministers honoured elsewhere on this site, though no less a real, documented piece of local history for it.
