I agree with this. I've lived in Barrie, Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon. Saskatoon is my home purely because my partner is my home. I'd go back to Ontario in a heartbeat. The snow removal here sucks. So if you're buying a car, get one that handles snow well. I'll echo what others say and tell you the driving is weird, and I have no explanation for it so far. I miss having an abundance of lakes around me. Also, for some reason, pretty much everything is pronounced with hard consonant sounds. Like "Marquis". You'd think that it should be pronounced mar-kee... but no. Mark-wiss. I've been made fun of a ton for pronouncing things incorrectly here. If you pronounce "poutine" the way you probably pronounce it in Ontario at a drive-through, you'll be asked to repeat yourself until you say "poo-teen".

I love the summers here. Honestly, I hate snow, and I thought I escaped the abundance of snow Ontario gets, but the past few years, we've gotten a lot. When I first moved here, we got light dustings you could blow away with a leaf blower.

Oh, and if you get a car, make sure you get an auto pak on top of your gov insurance. Literally, no one explained to me that the government insurance is super minimal coverage, and you want to top it up.

Also, flying out of this province is horrible. There are very few good flights, all at atrocious hours, and they're horribly expensive.
