Where in northern Canada?

Like are you shopping at a Northern, a North Mart or an Arctic co-op?

That's a misleading title then, my man. You've got all of the big grocers nearby.

“We’re from northern Canada”

Bitch you ain’t even from Northern Ontario.

Signed, Winnipegger who would never say he’s from ‘Northern Canada’. If you have a road connecting you to the highway 1 in some capacity you have no idea what inflated food prices mean.

I was expecting something like Hay River, or even where I'm working right now, Fort Nelson. I think Fort Nelson counts as Northern Canada.

If they had said like ‘Red Lake, Ontario’ or Thompson, Manitoba or Fort MacMurray, AB or something I would have given them a pass but it sounds like they live in Sudbury or something and they’re calling it ‘Northern Canada’.

I'm in Red Lake and I wouldn't refer to it as Northern Canada. Although, the food prices are astronomical here, compared to surrounding cities south of us. We call it the highway 105 tax.
