Feels weird having lived in 2 of these towns not thinking they were that secluded

I have traveled all over BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. There are an incredible number of Isolated towns in these provinces. If you do another video please include as many photos and videos of the actual towns and surrounding locations as possible. To tell you the truth, it just makes me close my eyes look back and smile! Canada is so blessed to have these little speckles of culture and strange beauty, from coast to coast!

Briggs walks into a Newfoundland bar.

He's never heard from again. 🤣

[WorldAccordingToBriggs]

So, it's pronounced "NewFin-land" I knew this years ago not sure why I kept saying New Foundland. I did have a hockey buddy from there who explained that to me years ago. I guess I forgot while I was speaking.

[justchillinout]

Being from Alberta, I pronounce Newfoundland like this - Fort McMurray! If you don't know, you don't know. HA

Canadians here. It concerns me that some communities won’t be able to sustain themselves. At the same time, I am happy that we still have space for nature to live and thrive with us.

Travelling across the Canadian prairies, I noticed something strange; every 25 - 30 miles or so there's a small town, seemingly for no particular reason. The predominant common features of these small towns seem to be a church, a water tower, a grain elevator, a combination general store/gas pump/post office, a beer parlor, and a coffee shop where farmers sit and bull shit for hours. Also, perhaps they would have a one-room school. Then I learned why these small towns existed so close together; they had to be that close together so that every farmer would be able to take their crop to the nearest grain elevator by horse and wagon and get back home before dark. That made prefect sense. That's also why there's so damned many railway crossing on all these gravel roads. Each grain elevator needs to be accessible to a railway hopper car.

I like what your doing, especially bringing Canada into the topic.

Newfin' LAND! No screech for you!

I have a cabin in Northern Saskatchewan. There are tonnes of remote communities in the north. Many are fly in only. Which makes life really expensive. Most are indigenous. A few I have visited. Basically it is just about cheaper to fly into the closest city, buy your stuff and turn around rather than spend the crazy amount on local goods. There are about 3 roads north that are paved, until a certain point then goes down to gravel, then sometimes ice roads or dirt tracks that you are not sure are roads. People forget how remote these places are. Not American remote. I mean 2 hrs drive from your nearest grocery store or at least something most people would consider a grocery store. It is super beautiful and the northern lights make me catch my breath every time I see them.

Canada is breathtaking from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast is beautiful!
I’ve travelled to about 30 different countries and I always come back and stare at the Rocky Mountains! 🇨🇦

I drove with my parents from the NYC
area to Vancouver for Expo 86 in Sep.
Oct. 1986, and back through the US
from Seattle to home in a 3 week trip
of about 7000 miles, through the vast
open spaces and Canadian Rockies,
which was very interesting. Weather
was pretty cool in 🇨🇦 🍁, and the North-
Western US by mid to late Sep. and in
early Oct. Very scenic to see up close,
such as Yellowstone, Custer's Battlefield,
Devils Tower and Mt Rushmore.

Looking forward to watching this now. I’m looking at moving from London. Canada is suppose to be stunning! Thanks Briggs

[chrisvickers]

I think the most isolated town in Canada I lived in was Pine Point NWT, on the south shore of Great Slave Lake. It existed because of a lead-zinc mine and I was there in the summer of 1978 doing mining exploration. It had a population then of 2000 people with 4 churches, and ice rink, and a swimming pool. It also had a hotel and bar and a legion. We found no new ore reserves during our summer and the mine closed 8 years later with the town not only abandoned but all of the buildings removed and transported out of there. My main memories are of swamps, spectacular quantities of black flies, and playing soccer or frisbee at 1 AM after the bar closed.

Somehow I find myself strangely attracted to isolation

[michelleready]

Nice video! Love from Gruenthal Saskatchewan (around 100 people). -55 C today with the wind. (BTW it's pronounced Newfinlan. :)

[peleeprepper]

Pretty neat! We live on Pelee Island, the southern most inhabited spot in 🇨🇦 🍁. We have roughly 165 folks here year round and are situated in the middle of Lake Erie. You might want to visit when the border reopens! 👍

"It has a beach."
That is beyond funny for no reason other than the simplicity and I am beyond dead 🤣

Port Hardy is over 200Km from the nearest traffic light. We do have two new solar powered pedestrian crossings now. All other street crossings are stop signs without cameras. Woohoo, progress. One A&W, a Save-On Foods and a swimming pool plus a ferry terminal to other more remote towns.

Briggs, your #1 brought back great memories. In my 20s, I was part of a 5-piece band out of Cali that went on a tour up through BC (6-8 weeks in each place as "house band") and Watson Lake was our northernmost gig. The people there were wonderful - they made up for the cold outside. I still have a pic of myself with a "big dog" beside me who'd been tugging on my mitten when I was out on a walk. The hotel desk clerk told me later it was a timber wolf (clearly not a hungry one). btw Ft Nelson was also on our trip headed north from Vancouver, and the people who ran a "hotel" that was a large house trailer sent us on our way with bagged lunches when we left. Amazing people, amazing natural scenery.
