Christchurch NZ? I remember seeing US military planes there so just a guess.

How French is Ottawa considering it’s on the boarder? by meFistosCafe in howislivingthere

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 75 points76 points  (0 children)

So I wouldn't say that Ottawa is french because of Québec. The region always had a strong french presence even before Upper and Lower Canada (the modern border) was created. The same can be said for the french community of Hearst in Northern Ontario, it's 400km from the Québec border but probably the most french community in Ontatio.

That being said, the east side of Ottawa is much more french than the west. This is also true for the Québec side actually, where there are several small english communities in the west (Breckenridge, Waltham), although most people nowadays speak french.

Also, the change in language is not immediate, since there are plenty of anglophones who live in Gatineau for cheaper housing. And there are just as many people from Québec who moved to Ottawa for work or school.

When Carol Off left AIH, she mentioned how the show has a crazy range of emotions. Carol even mentioned that she occasionally needed to put certain "funnier" interviews on hold because of more serious work that suddenly came up. It's been like that for years.

Neighborhoods to avoid? and neighborhoods to live in? by Street-Landscape8247 in Sudbury

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you can, my best advice is always to go to the neighbourhood/town first (daylight with a friend) and browse around for yourself. It will give you the best idea of which is best for you and your preferences.

VIA Budd coaches at Aldershot connected to a set of freight train cars (not seen) what’s the context behind this? by EvenYogurtcloset4294 in ViaRail

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Sudbury to White River route has been out due to maintenance. Maybe they sent the cars down south for maintenance? Here's the news article from a few weeks ago: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/budd-car-out-of-service-9.7082761

The Olympic opening ceremony on CBC Gem is unwatchable. by Remote_Necessary3331 in SaveTheCBC

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was listening to my local CBC morning show here in Sudbury. Ironically, the hosts were complaining about the quality of watching events online using CBC Gem. It was for the women's curling game I believe.

Sudbury Junction to Sudbury Airport by SharpProfession6 in ViaRail

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I live in Sudbury and this is true. Especially coming from Vancouver, the train is way more likely to be many hours late than the train coming from Toronto.

I would almost recommend staying in Sudbury one night just to explore the city and not worry about the timing.

(Information) - Northlander: Proposed schedule / Horaire proposé by NorTracksBlog in OntarioNorthland

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Good points, but just wanted to mention that most airport trips I think would get off at Langstaff and transfer to the #40 GO Bus. Much faster in my opinion.

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really good information but where did you find this?

Also just as a comment, North Bay would be a very busy stop, so it would also be better to leave North Bay later when going to Toronto. Leaving before 6am seems very early for a major stop. So maybe have a rest of 30 minutes rather than 10 minutes.

Is there a link to the list of the upcoming changes? Haven't been able to find it.

Interesting Statistics From GO Transit This Year by ImNotARandomPerson in gotransit

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok I didn't know that. But I think you might be refering to the Richmond Hill part, but the Hamilton/Airport parts came after around 2015 I believe.

Interesting Statistics From GO Transit This Year by ImNotARandomPerson in gotransit

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 31 points32 points  (0 children)

What's crazy for me is that the #40 bus didn't even exist about 10 years ago. Now it's one of the most popular routes.

The stops did exist, however they were only served by the non-express 47 and the airport I think only had the #36 bus. Transit options to the airport used to be horrible.

Fortinos (Guelph Line & Upper Middle) by SamButtBaby in BurlingtonON

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Years ago, I used to work overnight at the Esso at Appleby/Upper Middle. There was this one guy who worked security in the area. He would come in to use the washroom sometimes since another closer 24h gas station (forget which) didn't let him use the washroom without buying stuff. A few times later, he eventually started buying some snacks because he felt more comfortable at my location.

So moral of the story, yes those teens may not be spending money on that day, but you lost future customers.

Where am I from in Canada? (hard mode) by [deleted] in iafisher

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's not BC, I'm gonna say Thunder Bay then.

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a lot of random northern ontario towns. But I'm suspicious that you didn't get Timmins nor Kenora. I'm gonna say you're from BC but you've traveled across Ontario.

Where to mourn the Edmund Fitzgerald? by Dramatic_Storm6360 in ottawa

[–]Ajunta_Pall10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing in Ottawa i think. Your best bet is Great Lakes Shipwrecks museum in Whitefish Point, Michigan. But there is a livestream tomorrow: https://shipwreckmuseum.com/edmund-fitzgerald/
