Obedjiwan.   Probably 30 plus years ago. My dad made that trip through there and ended up in chibougamau.  Obedjiwan people are different. Bars on windows of every building. Coolers full of beer in gas station. Car pulled in with windshield gone out of it.  Then I guess they get going in the bar and then the bar closes down  Everyone ends up in middle of town.  Then a hour later the bar is back open lol.

I wonder if your dad was remembering things differently than I and both times I have been there it was the same.

no bars on any windows, no beer sold in supermarket or depanneur, cars/trucks as you would see anywhere with their windshields intact, and I’m QUITE CERTAIN there is NOT any bar in town.

the natives drive down to Magasin General in Parent in a minivan. Load it floor to ceiling with 60 packs of Budweiser at 100 bucks a pop. Then they go back to Obedjiwan and sell it for 200 a pack. Minus the 16-20 they threw out the window and drank on the way back

seen it with my own eyes. MORE than once

Same thing on road south of Rapide-Sept north of reserve @ Winnaway. Six packs on side of road every few miles!

It's not a local village unless there is at least one dog running around pissing on everything!
