My grandson....."do you like that house Grandpa? Why don't you buy it and move here?"
My only grandkids live right there buddy; once the youngest one moves out it'll be pretty quiet around here?
I can see making a real estate investment there anyway; with the refinery plans and all. Our kids were selling us on the place the entire time we were there..... too funny. I moved my wifes entire family from Montreal to BC; now I'm gonna get paid back by my son-in-law who grew up there.

There is still some real nice waterfront available. I scoped out a 5 acre riverfront property a couple months ago for 340k. Absolutely amaxing piece of land... 300ft of sandy beach water front, facing the sunset. I'm sure I'll be telling my grandkids about it in 50 years, and they'll hit me with my own hat.
My wife's family cottage is right on the water, you want to talk about nice property winter or summer. 2 acres, private beach on either side, built in 1906 with 5 bedrooms. Bought for a song back in the 60's.
Some nice winter pics:

That little outbuilding to the right is the original ice house. 12" walls filled with sawdust. They'd have locals fill it with ice in the winter, and it would last until August. Still intact, with sawdust, racks & pulleys to haul the ice. Neat stuff
As much as northerners like to complain about the cold, it's kind of a nice change. I think I'd go batty without REAL seasons. It's nice to watch the landscape change, and there's nothing like being outside in the cold. Going for a walk in 12" snow is a pretty serious workout!
