where to live in ontario?

[JLM]

what we bought here for 200,000 would cost well over a mill in vancouver, it's crazy. I wish I knew what everyone did that can afford those places!

Most of the well heeled ones probably import dope or own huge plantations in the Orient. The rest are probably old retired Canuck players. No doubt there are a few lawyers who defend drug importers. There's work that will support that lifestyle.............if it suits you.......................................:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I htought you told me you were from Montreal, or was it when you weren't alive? BTW if you were, are you familiar with Pierre Fonds? My brother has lived there for about 35 years.

When I crossed the Rockies in 72 I entered a whole new world and a whole new life. It was like I died and was reborn. Montreal was many lifetimes ago. Hell, Quesnel was many lifetimes ago. With all I have been through, my doctor said yesterday that I was in pretty good shape but that I don't have too many more lives left to live in this body. 8O;-):lol:

You got that right, but hey don't confuse Vancouver with British Columbia. I never noticed that Toronto was the "centre of the universe", but maybe that's because I was never there. I have passed through Ottawa though. If I HAD to live in Ontario I'd probably pick a spot like Kenora or Timmins or maybe even Thunder Bay.

only torontians think toronto is the centre of the universe. And I can say, cuz I used to live there.

I hope you stick around for awhile yet Cliff. Your vast knowledge brings some balance to the forum to offset a few of the idiots who babble continuously (Oooooops I hope I'm not including me :lol::lol::lol

Indeed. Lake Huron (Sarnia, Goderich, Grand Bend etc.) or Lake Superior (Thunder Bay) are much more pristine, much purer than Lake Ontario or Lake Erie (Windsor).

even georgian bay, beautiful area and water, but the biggest city round here is Sudbury, Which is GREEN i dont care what any of you people think. The birch trees are beginning to give way to the pines, spruce, oaks, maples etc

Did you know that some of the oldest trees in the world are found on the cliffs of Georgian Bay? There are puny, withered cedar trees growing on the cliff side near Georgian Bay.

They really look no bigger than bushes. But some of them are 1500 years old, as they found out by examining at the rings. The reason is that on the cliff side, they have no enemies. There are no humans to uproot them, no animals to eat them. So they practically stay alive forever.

The flip side is that the cliff sides have very few nutrients, to the trees don’t grow more than a couple of meters high. But looking at them it is difficult to believe that the trees are so old. The oldest they found was 1800 years old tree, which died 1500 years ago.

But forget about California, Amazon etc. Some of the oldest trees in the world are to be found near Tobermory, near Georgian Bay.

I decided to look up on the internet. It was 1890 years old, to be exact.

Ontario's oldest trees

On the Innacomipleu River that dumps into the Arrow Lakes, north of where I live, a friend found a hollow cedar stump with 25 hundred rings and figures the tree was over 3000 years old. It was cut in the seventies and burned because they couldn't get it on a truck. That river system contains some of the oldest old growth forest and is the only inland rainforest in Canada, possibly the Northern Hemisphere.

It is pretty cool that there are trees out here that get that old, you should check out some of the cedars in Killarney where the soil is actually better then some other areas and i know from seeing them there are huge cedar trees there and god knows how old hey are lol...

Although they arent as old but some of the White Pines where i go fishing and camping are 200+ yrs old and where little sapplings at the time of the Chicago Fire when the whole area was cut down to rebuild chicago. When they clear cut the area

That is the thing about these cedars. They are not huge, they are not even big. These are small, puny things, looking at them you would think they are just bushes. But they are hundreds of years old.
