Entre une scène culturelle bien vivante, une offre gourmande qui met le terroir à l’honneur et un réseau de transport qui facilite les déplacements, tu passes moins de temps sur la route et plus de temps à profiter de ce qui compte vraiment.
Et quand l’envie de décrocher se fait sentir, la nature n’est jamais loin. Les parcs urbains, les réserves fauniques, les parcs nationaux et le fjord du Saguenay te permettent de t’évader en quelques minutes, en été comme en hiver.

Puisque le coût de la vie y est plus abordable que dans plusieurs grands centres du Québec, tu en as plus pour ton argent et peux profiter d'un équilibre de vie plus riche. Le prix médian d’une maison y est près de la moitié de celui de Montréal, tandis que les loyers demeurent généralement plus accessibles qu’à Québec, Gatineau ou Montréal.
À Saguenay, la journée ne s’arrête pas forcément après le travail ou les cours. La proximité entre la ville, les activités et la nature permet plus facilement de voir des amis, sortir, bouger dehors ou simplement profiter de sa soirée sans avoir à tout planifier autour de longs déplacements.
Pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent y étudier, la ville propose aussi un parcours d’études complet, grâce au Cégep de Jonquière, au Cégep de Chicoutimi, à l’Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, ainsi qu’à plusieurs centres de formation professionnelle et de formation générale des adultes.
Au fond, choisir Saguenay, c’est peut-être moins changer de vie que changer de rythme. Un endroit où tu peux continuer à voir grand tout en profitant d’un quotidien où le temps, la nature et les possibilités prennent toute leur place.
Trudeau & Poilievre Are Already Coming For Each Other & They're Not Holding Back
"Careless attacks don't add up to a plan."
Now that Pierre Poilievre has been named the new leader of the Conservative party on September 10, the barbed comments have already started flying between him and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
During the Liberal Caucus retreat in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Trudeau remarked on Poilievre's victory, but also had a few pointed words on some of his views.
"I want to congratulate Mr. Poilievre on becoming the leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition," said the prime minister.
Trudeau went on to say that he plans on working with all parliamentarians, but pointedly added that "this doesn't mean that we won't be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas."
"What Canadians need is responsible leadership...Buzz words, dog whistles and careless attacks don't add up to a plan for Canadians," said Trudeau.
"Attacking the institutions that make our society fair, safe and free is not responsible leadership."
Trudeau went through a number of things that constitute not "responsible leadership," such as recommending folks "opt-out of inflation" by investing in cryptocurrency and "fighting against vaccines."
All pointed remarks towards Poilievre's views. Over the years, Poilievre has called for more cryptocurrency in Canada and has even come out in support of the trucker protests that took place in January 2022.
Trudeau then directly addressed Poilievre's criticisms of government spending, saying that "being there for workers, for families, for seniors, for businesses and for all Canadians was the right thing to do."
Of course, Poilievre also took aim at Trudeau during his first speech as leader.
"I am issuing a challenge to Justin Trudeau today," said the new Tory leader.
"If you really care, commit today that there will be no new tax increases on workers and on seniors," said Poilievre.
"None."
He also called out the "radical, woke coalition" between the Liberals and the NDP — which is not technically a coalition but is a confidence and supply agreement.
"Conservatives will not support any new tax increases, and we will fight tooth and nail to stop the coalition from introducing any," added.
