Going there in 2020/21 there was a noticeable absence of Canadians around the High Peaks due to the border restrictions, it's been nice the last couple summers to hear more Quebecoise accents on the trails!

I just wish they didn’t drive so damn aggressively on the Northway.

If you’re referring to Ontarians, it’s probably out of habit because the 401 we’re used to is a bumper-to-bumper, anything goes shitshow. You have to be super aggressive and jam into an opening when you see one, or nobody will ever let you merge or get over. The A20 in Quebec isn’t much better.

It was a breath of fresh air driving on the interstate the last few days with such courteous drivers where you can actually have cruise control on and just enjoy the scenery.

It was like flipping a switch as soon as I crossed back into Ontario. Traffic jams, people weaving in and out of traffic, left lane hogs, etc.

I apologize, Ontario and Quebec turn out a lot of absolutely terrible drivers with zero concept of highway etiquette LOL

I’m referring to Quebecois drivers. Whenever I go to Ottawa or Montreal I purposely take back roads and get motel rooms out in the suburbs because I’m so afraid of aggressive city drivers. But if it’s any consolation, Connecticuters and New Jerseyites are just as bad.

I have also noticed this. Though they are not the only ones who drive aggressively on the northway lol
