Northbound / Longue Pointe

Northbound / Longue Pointe

Restless Viking Radio – Season 1, Episode 5

Cape Jones Series - Part 2

The morning after the fire at Chisasibi, we packed up camp and drove farther north — toward Longue Pointe, one of the last places pavement reaches in eastern North America.

What we found there wasn’t quiet hospitality or solemn history.

It was humor. Testing. Politics. Data. Canoes. Kayaks.

And a man named George — sharp, funny, stubborn, and deeply invested in the land he calls home.

This episode is about learning, the hard way, that the North doesn’t present itself in a single voice.

It jokes.

It challenges your assumptions.

And sometimes it decides whether you’re worth talking to at all.

A story about permission, curiosity, and the strange moment when strangers stop being strangers — at the edge of the road.
