separated at ... birth?: Lanaudière

Shane's parents' cottage in Heated Rivalry in located in Lanaudière, Québec. We are informed of this by a caption while Shane is on the phone with Rose, outside the cottage. 

Fictionally, we know that that cottage is ten minutes from Shane's cottage. From videos about the series, we learn that the filming location for Shane's cottage is actually in Muskoka, a popular vacation and second home region in central Ontario, a couple hours north of Toronto.

Heated Rivalry is one of my current obsessions. Another obsession, quite the opposite, is the increasing acceptance and legalization of assisted dying. I was looking at the Times to see if the war in Iran was over or not and noted an article entitled "How Quebec, in a decade, came to lead the world in assisted dying," by Norimitsu Onishi. (article link) A few months ago I had never heard of Lanaudière, now I learn that it is the home of a new palliative care center and has the highest incidence in Quebec for this important care.
