i would add that alienation vs the south of the province is less intense in Abitibi due to almost everyone having roots there if you go back about a century.

In Timmins and northern Ontario it is much more common for people to have no prior family relationship with Toronto or southern Ontario.

Many early Timmins residents came directly from Quebec the Maritimes the UK or continental Europe.

The population is not descended from that of the south of the province like it is in Abitibi.
