But do they have the jobs to go with like this place supposedly does?

Well, this place has only a pretty select range of jobs by the looks of it, local industry is quite limited. By the same token you can be a logger in large parts of Canada.

I think the best way to interpret the article is to realize that there are many places where people no longer wish to live after several generations and the cities lure with their - presumably - higher incomes and easier access to 'life'. So you get this kind of cycle, where people move out of some rural spot and then need to be replaced by others that have grown tired of life in the fast lane.

I've made this switch myself several times and it is always interesting to see which parts you miss the most of what you left behind.

They did. Until the oil patch imploded, you could easily get a job with an annual salary that paid more than the average cost of a house. $70k salary, $60k house, for example in rural Saskatchewan.

Where exactly? Unlikely withing Quebec City–Windsor Corridor.

Northern Ontario, large chunks of Quebec.
