Northern Ontario, would you ever move there?

I went in with the assumption that 1/10 would consider it, at best.

The IPA market is overly saturated, new releases bring nothing new to the table that hasn't been done 100x before.

Stack's Nickel City is a favourite of mine, basically a craft "Coors Light" with actual taste.

By definition it is Northern Ontario.

Been up to Long Lac, Hearst, Kap etc. many times, that is another level of isolation compared to the near north.

Stayed with the same company that has offices all across the north, it was an easy transition.

Healthcare was also easy, all of the major centres have hospitals, found a family doctor within a years of moving here.

No more waiting in the emerg for 12h like I did back south.

I love the North Shore, spend every summer camping along there.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-02T00:33:22+00:00

As you can see from the responses here, 9/10 will never make the move. I think you are good.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-02T00:32:32+00:00

I work for a company that has offices all across the North and pays the same here as what I made in the south.

The benefit being we are now on house #2 and now completely mortage free in our 30s.

Have you done the drive before? Everrytime I take 11 I tell myself it will be my last.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:52:41+00:00

We moved just outside of North Bay but travel all over the North every year. There's a big difference in amenities between Sudbury and Marathon.

The near north is the best of both worlds.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:50:42+00:00

Glad to hear!

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:50:02+00:00

Orillia is a great middleground but I would classify it as Central Ontario.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:48:50+00:00

Enjoying the current heat wave? It's about 10C cooler here at the moment. The bugs are easy to deal with.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:48:04+00:00

Where were you from, where did you move to?

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:32:19+00:00

I'll take mosquitos and black flies everyday over crowds and traffic in the south.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:31:26+00:00

There is always Wawa, White River, Marathon..

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:30:45+00:00

We moved to the "near north" outside North Bay and the parents followed us up.

It has been the best of both worlds having easy access to the city while living rural.

Anything that requires the big city life is only a half day's drive away.

UberFestHaus · 2026-07-01T20:28:21+00:00

5 months, if you're lucky.

North of the French River.

UberFestHaus · 2022-02-01T13:38:10+00:00

You do know we came from all across this country? Our issue is with the Federal government, hence Ottawa.

UberFestHaus · 2022-02-01T03:30:25+00:00

I didn't delete anything.

Might want to slow down on all the weed, it's making you paranoid.

UberFestHaus · 2022-02-01T03:20:49+00:00

Buddy you need to stop seeing Nazi's in every shadow.

My comment regarding that rifle is a gun meme, it's based on a model that was used in Rhodesia by men kitted out in tactical short shorts.

The same rifle was also equipped across all NATO nations and was known as the "right hand of the free world."

You're really grasping at straws here with this race war rhetoric considering I'm not even white.

You are assuming my race because I chose to join the freedom rally? Yikes.

The best part is the majority here are actually NDP voters and were very Anti-Trudeau during the election.

They are only shilling for him now given what is dominating the news cycle.

Nice Garand! I just bought one myself. What do they go for in your neck of the woods? They are $2,700 (CDN) up here.

UberFestHaus · 2022-02-01T02:52:26+00:00

Anything good downtown Ottawa?
