It is quite isolated from the rest of the province - the only link between the north and south is Quebec Route 117 and it's a pretty remote drive. I'd imagine that Montreal and Quebec City would feel very far away, like how someone in Timmins might feel Toronto is very far away, both in distance and politically speaking.
Or is it just not a thing?

Val d'Or has many direct flights so the "mental distance" is not there. Sept-Îles on the other hand has the isolation factor that would most ressemble Northern Ontario.
