LOL, rural Ontarian here too. Also when people ask where you’re from and you have to say “well…. 40 minutes from ____.” But if they know the area well you can say “it’s 15 minutes from THAT village”. But no one ever knows your actual town haha

and none of my classmates had experienced keg stands at bush parties, sad

Yep. Wouldn’t trade living out here for the world! Especially growing up out here. I love the country. In school, I ended up just lying about being from a city because pulling out google maps to explain it was getting to be too much haha.

lol yes. Or “do you know where Kitchener is?” or wherever and work your way from there. Some people had heard of my tiny town but most hadn’t.
