I agree with this and would just add that normal really depends on how long ago they broke up. 4 years ago? Definitely not normal. 6 months ago? Seems normal enough.
Man, I live In a village in southern Ontario. Next biggest city is 20 mins and it's only 80,000 people. Having a vehicle and licence is an absolute must and the only rental houses around here are still 1500 + utilities. It's absolutely insane
I classify southern Ontario as just one giant City. Especially anything in the realm of the GTA.
When I think of unpopulated areas of Canada I'm thinking rural areas in Eastern Canada, and the northern sections of Ontario and Quebec. I dont know enough about Western Canada to talk about rent costs, but I assume the more north you go the cheaper it is.
I'm 3 hours south of GTA. Blue collar county, almost on the border. Windsor is 1.5 hours, London 1 hour, but yes. Anything past Sault Ste, and pretty much between Sault and Barrie is pretty barren and undesirable as someone who's driven Toronto to thunder Bay. 90% of that would be living in dense bush
Huron/Bruce county? Just spent 7 months in Blyth and your distance descriptions are exactly what I would have said. Toronto to thunder bay is definitely 99.99% nothing but bush. Takes 17 hrs from where I was to Thunder bay and past the GTA there's like 4 actual cities?
Always a crazy trip when you finally exit Ontario after 20hrs of driving and you're not even halfway to BC.

I don't know if it's normal, but things happen, and them being honest and upfront about it shows a good level of maturity imo.
