As cool as it is to live on a 'border city' for lack of a better descriptions it certainly has a pile of drawbacks.
This will only continue to show itself as the population grows.

We are a federation so yes there are lots of barriers to services but Gatineau still benefits from having Ottawa there. CHEO is a great resource for example that somewhere like Rivere-Du-Loup doesn't have. From my place in Ottawa I can be in Gatineau park in 20 minutes. Sure part of this is because of this barrier making population unbalanced but it's still a great benefit for access to wilderness or cottage country that wouldn't exist elsewhere.
