1. Oliver Road

2. Revisiting the Mantario idea?

Original title:Revisit the Mantario Idea?

Post summary:A few years ago, because it wasn't official. There was informal discussion about Mantario. It's the idea of northwestern Ontario splitting off and joining Manitoba. Since there's nothing to discuss on this front, separation could be complicated. What are your thoughts on northwestern Ontario joining Manitoba, since most directives from the provincial government are focused on the GTA and other parts of southern Ontario. Most of the rest of Ontario is ignored. Or just seen as very remote. Now Manitoba also has

• It would at least be good for us, because Thunder Bay would become the second largest city in the province, and Kenora the fifth largest. However, for the same reason, I can see today's Manitobans objecting to the merger, because we would suddenly have a lot of political power in a province we just joined. There's something interesting about the regional change from northwestern Ontario to southeastern Manitoba.

• Northern Ontario as its own entity. Joining Manitoba would just put us under the control of a big city center, in terms of what we can or cannot do here.

4. Where to go and what to see

Original title:Where to Go & What to See

Post summary:Hi everyone, as the title says, I'm looking for suggestions on sights and activities around Thunder Bay. I'm interested in almost everything: scenic drives, viewpoints, waterfalls, hiking spots, beaches, hidden gems, interesting small towns/communities nearby, good places to eat, and even places that are a bit of a drive out of town. I have a car, so I don't mind driving a few hours if a place is worth it. Thanks

• Drive to the border and visit Middle Falls. It's an area I grew up in, and people kind of forget it exists. It's on the Pigeon River, so if you want to shout insults across the river, the US is on the other side. https://preview.redd.it/uut7o0jdernh1.jpeg?width=1733&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30737ae62b3308d8
