In a survey of 2017 different communities across Ontario, Canada, Blind River came in last as a place where anyone would want to live or bring up their children. Competition was fierce for the final spot with places in the running such as...

Timmins - "A little piece of hell."
Elliot Lake - "Been there? Don't bother."
Sudbury - "A pretty big piece of hell."
North Bay - "A great place to get drunk in, cos there's really nothing else to do."
Windsor - "It's always been terrible here, but it got way worse after Clinton Hammond arrived, and he won't leave."
Toronto - "A simply gigantic piece of hell! But the restaurants are great."
Spanish - "Almost as bad as Blind River."
Massey - "Almost as bad as Spanish."
Sault Sainte Marie - "Worse than Massey. Worse than Sudbury. Worse than North Bay. But...not quite as bad as Blind River."
Wawa - "It sounds godawful, and it is!"
Capuscasing - "Even the mosquitos want to leave!"


Yup. There are a lot of places in Ontario that are less than perfect. There are some that are so damn awful that it's hard to describe. But there are NONE that can match Blind River for sheer, gut-wrenching mediocrity, ugliness, pointlessness, vacuity, and stupidity that will freeze your blood in your veins, knock your socks off, and leave you for dead.

Blind River. The worst.
