Longlac used to have several hotels and a casino. They had a 208 store mall and convention centre running - until the earthquake that is. Part of the Canadian Shield shifted, and part of it slid into a giant hole left when the earth moved. Several thousand acres of forest were swallowed up by the giant sinkhole that was exposed after the quake. Damn gold mines!

The Grand Cold Opry completely disappeared into that hole along with several thousand moose, bears and the entire Ontario bison herd. It was the worst natural disaster in the region since people south of Hwy 7 (mostly from Toronto) discovered there was more land in Ontario north of the highway to ruin. They started coming north to hunt and fish and things haven't been the same since!

I blame Bill Davis for that. And drugs.


Safe Shooting!
