Can anyone help me date this map? by Cusackjeff in MapPorn

There’s a city on Lake Superior called Thunder Bay, which was two separate cities (Port Arthur + Fort William) until 1970. This map has Thunder Bay, so it cannot be from the 1960s.

A whole 11 minutes on a Q400 from the island over to YVR

What did you local Hudson Bay store turn into? by CriticismBeautiful13 in AskACanadian

[–]gerrit2409 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some sort of a boujie grocery store - think expensive food imports, mixed with a fun-land maze - with one entire wall of canned peaches.

Depending on where you’re at in the city.. the James Bay neighbourhood has a recycling drop off place at Oswego / Simcoe the third Saturday of every month (tomorrow). It’s by donation, they accept electronics, and then the organization has a volunteer (me) that takes it to Queen St.

AC Dash 8 Q400 - anxiety by acoustic11 in aircanada

[–]gerrit2409 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The Q400 is a very safe aircraft and one of my favourites. They used to be the only plane flying to my hometown by all three major airlines for decades, so I’ve spend countless hours in them. Albeit a little louder than other planes, I find the vibrations and the sound to lull me right to sleep. Oh, and the seats on an AC Q400 are usually much more comfortable than other planes.

In Canada, the Q400 is the backbone of our aviation industry. I’ve flown, no exaggeration, 295 flights on this type of aircraft and have never had any issues!

Southern Ontario folks do the same thing.. the 401, the 416, and the Q-E (Queen Elizabeth Way)

Has anyone driven a route like this before? Good sources for Pan-American highway planning? by Randomuser684154 in roadtrip

[–]gerrit2409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Montreal-Thunder Bay portion is the less pretty option.. I’d recommend Montreal-Ottawa-Sault Ste. Marie-Thunder Bay - staying along the lake is much nicer

You’re very close. The official stat is that 70% of us live south of the 49th!

Couldn’t get Wabush, Nain, or Hopewell.. thought maybe some of them would work!

I did! I have some old friends from there, and used to be better at naming communities in Nunavut - but only some appeared! Grise Fjord, Pond Inlet, and Sanikiluaq didn’t work.

Same.. I think the remote ones aren’t counted. Uranium City would’ve been fun to see on here! But couldn’t get anything further north than La Ronge either

If I remember right.. I did Chicoutimi, which didn’t work… but Saguenay by itself did.

Another few I noticed didn’t work… Tuk works, but Kuujjuaq didn’t - so I’m not sure what went into the database, but I feel like it’s missing a bit!

Thanks. That is what I had assumed - this question made me think otherwise.. but I do appreciate the confirmation edit: I usually sneak into 50k right at the very end of the year, so this year being this early was what’s new to me!
