But but... the webs said it exists when i entered the postal code People often don't understand how azimuth and other factors affect satellite signals at high latitudes. Not to mention the fact that you don't always have a satellite overhead, you can go a few minutes before the signal comes...

I wasn't disputing that it exists. Look at the bandwidth caps. Some places near there have permanent boil water advisories. Until recently the number of people below the poverty line has been quite high. Right now there is a lot of money in the area because if government reinvestment over the...

Canadian police have used a tactic before where they make the suspect believe that they are far away searching some backwater town for them, but really they are hot on the trail. I can't remember what case it was, having a massive brain fart here. But everybody was shocked when they caught the...

Let's be honest, these 2 have already proven they don't care about laws or lives, if you're willing to murder someone, you're probably okay driving a stolen getaway vehicle illegally with only a G1

I should have shared this long ago for you guys. You might have to change your app store to canada though. If you want to see what its like around Gillam or any other place the manhunt goes, download this app, it provides a canada wide map, but you can also click to download topo maps. It will...

I know a canadian 23 year old who got on the wrong bus, and then killed her phone by trying to use apps and gps maps to figure out how to get home. Instead of, you know, just downloading the pdf map of all the routes and then getting the relevant time schedules. And then they are lost and...

I doubt they intended to drive to gillam at all, probably just thought they were on the road less travelled and assumed a provincial highway wouldn't just dead end in the middle of the province. Without gps navigation anybody could make the same mistake if they don't know how to read a proper map

Radio reception is usually good, there are some repeaters and such set up, lots of people with vehicle CBs in case of emergency or monitoring the emergency channel, or else just chatting. You even get the odd HAM radio guru. Its pretty good reception, in general though, especially along the...

There is a local internet provider there, ComStream or something, I know you couldn't get bell internet there, and when we travelled in the bush we used satphones. A lot of native reservations end up with local native run companies that build a local solution. Its not uncommon and provides...

Their social media before this incident was mostly devoid of followers or friends. They each had about a dozen FB friends and even less on IG. Their steam accounts were pretty bare. They seem pretty anhedonic so I'm not sure this is the case at all, but its possible I guess

Anybody not from rural canada would be shocked to see the price of just 2mbps down of internet in places like gillam, these people definitely aren't streaming the news online. Cable tv is more common, but usually people just resort to a digital tv antenna.

Potentially in places, but not everywhere out there. By wifi i assume you mean cellular data, wifi in the wild would require them to stumble on cottage that has a router with wifi and likely to know the password. I've been up there, both for work and for pleasure (long canoe tripping), and you...

Pretty much... No confirmed sighting since monday, they could be a lot further than toronto.

I drove a dirtbike long before could drive a car, its not uncommon in small towns for kids to have their own dirt bike or atv at a young age. Just because his dad didn't teach him to ride a bike doesn't mean the dude never learned. Seems like he learned lots of new tricks his dad never taught...

Same, though I was thinking more of ATV(s), lots of hunters up there. An ATV is much easier to steal than a car and something someone might not realize is missing right away. Bicycle, ATV, dirtbike, etc

Lake of the woods has hundred of hiking trails, atv trails, private roads, etc. They could hike in off of the trans canada or like 2 other highways that border it. The hard part would be making sure nobody finds the car they abandon there. You definitely need to take a few supplies. A tarp...

Finally someone said it lol. I agree, lots of focus on who is the leader and such, when there doesn't necessarily need to be one at all

I grew up in Hamilton, moved to elliot lake in my 20s, and now any time I have to go south of Barrie I get massive anxiety just from the highways, not to mention the throngs of people, and trying to navigate places in construction season. If they're like me and know the small town life and the...

22lr is also one of the most popular in Canada, including the ruger 10/22

Yep I know it, there are lots of places like it too. There are lots of old ranger cabins, hunting cabins (not much is in season in ontario right now, these would likely be vacant for the most part), there are also small cottages. People stash boats in the woods up there, I have done it on...
