So I’ve lived in many different major Canadian cities, and while Winnipeg could never have a sense-of-life to it like a Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver, it’s BY FAR the #1 city you’d have the best chance to afford your own home. And it allows one to save more money to spend on travelling, or other pricier interests you may have. So for that alone, I’d say consider a life here!

@emjeispyder 8 ай бұрын

Definitely agreed. Also I find the river, trails, green spaces and private spots you can find completely make up for the "Sense-of-life". I find cities like Toronto and Vancouver too busy, like living in a swamp of people and concrete lol

The way things keep going, it won't be for long. Winnipeg needs immigration that matches skills with jobs and needs, not as a measure to cheapen our already cheap labour force when we have an employment rate problem. There's a reason Winnipeg has lower house prices. The incomes are lower!

Great video! Great job 👏 The only notes are about the temperatures. We have a hyper-continental climate. It means, as you mentioned, cold winters, but also hot summers. The temperature varies between -40°C in winter to +40°C in summer. The hottest month is usually July when it's burning hot ☀️ Winnipeg is one of the most sunny cities in Canada, plus relatively dry climate. The sun is very strong, and as a result, our winter temperatures don't feel as extreme. On windy days, it will be cold no matter what temperature is there, but -10°C can be pretty comfortable, even hot when wind is not in the picture. Snow melts with -10°C 🤯🫠

The fresh falling snow is always amazing. Then the cold sets in and it just stays for months and months.

It's like The Simpson's episode when they are in Winnipeg there is a sign saying "we were born here, what's your excuse? I was indeed born and raised in The Peg but I always knew I would leave eventually for greener and milder pastures elsewhere. I did leave in 89 and have only been back very briefly in the mid 90"s. Great place to grow up and great era to grow up during the 60's-80's but by the late 80's downtown had become depressed and deserted . I hope that they can turn it around but destroying history like tearing down The Eaton's building is not off to a good start. They say Winnipeg was going to be the Paris of the prairies but when Panama canal was built shipping overtook rail as a method of shipment and poor Winnipeg's dreams went down the toilet.

I visited Winnipeg with my family in the summer of 2016 and was very pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the Museum for Human Rights (insane!), the Forks, the Manitoba Museum (wow!), and the Exchange District. As someone interested in languages and multiculturalism, I really appreciated the Franco-Manitoban community. I felt like Winnipeg was the Ottawa of Western Canada: Crossing the river by bike into Saint Boniface reminded me of crossing the Ottawa River to Gatineau, Quebec. And the indoor market at the Forks and the variety of museums (including the only national museum outside of the Capital Region) also reminded me of Ottawa.

To extend the idea of temps, summer here is unreal. So many variables to that as well. For instance, this year the winter has been very mild, lots of days above zero. But, back to summertime. Many days through July and August it gets to be around 30-40 degrees and can stay that way well into late night. So, it’s a bit like this: fall starts around October, it gets cold around November and lasts till around end of February, 4 months of 0 to -30. The rest of the climate is warm to very hot.

My grandmother, was named Winnipeg, after the city (also later changed to Winnie). That's weird. Seeing how they lived in NC. They traveled to Winnipeg, at least twice in their travels, before her father died, and he traveled more often. He was a blacksmith, mostly out of NC, and also a traveling blacksmith. Weird. The eastern seaboard gave an easy travel into western USA, by way of the great lakes, before roads, were decent. And it's also how she found her husband in Groton, before they went back to NC, after the death of her father. But...of all the places he went, he loved Winnipeg. about 1910?

An American here, who went to Winnipeg for the first time a month ago. It's long been on my list to visit where my mom was born. Actually, she was born in St. Boniface, once its own city. I enjoyed various points of interest in St. Boniface but the little I saw of the rest of the city I liked as well, and would have been happy with more time to look around. The crime/substance abuse issues you cite are the same in US cities, both large and not so large. Oh, and we had wonderful weather for our visit; sunny and in the 80's. But I know it's a very different story in the winter! My mom did tell stories about how bundled up the people were then. Thanks for the video. I find myself missing the area; guess it's in my blood you could say.

Did you see any hornets in Winnipeg? Or hear them? I guess you only see them really when the take off. You have to remember Winnipeg is flat. When the snow melts. The water has no where to go. That’s why the streets are slanted. They actually build them up to a point where it is very visible. In the centre of the road. So that water runs off into sewer. If they did not. It would sit there and go know where. Did I mention that it’s flat? Very flat.

You should make this video during winter when the snow does not melt for 6 months and temperature is below -20 c for two months. Winnipeg is the worst city I have ever stayed - horrible downtown core, lack of natural beauty, small airport, higher income tax than most Canadian provinces. Glad I will move to California this year. Coming to work in Winnipeg is absolutely the worst decision I have made in my life.

Just wanna mention that the streets only have sand on them in the spring, when the snow has melted but the street cleaners haven't come out yet 😜

you're incorrect.. city centre (as in downtown) apartments cost lower... when you start to move out of downtown centre the apartments go up in price ... other than that great videos

I live in Winnipeg, have my whole life, and it is clear you just gathered a bunch of stats of government websites and spewed them all over the screen. Talk to some long time locals and you will get a very different picture of Winnipeg.

One day, we can come back for a longer stay, and perhaps even get a chance to chat with you.

Yeah, general rule of thumb. If people are leaving a place, and no Canadian would activity move there, then it is a good idea not to move there either. The motto is: "Welcome to Winnipeg, we were born here, what's your excuse?" The main alternatives are Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Sask and Manitoba have been growing from high cost of living in BC and in Ontario. People are moving to Winnipeg, and are pushing Manitobains out of the market.

Nice work! You touched on many good points but may I recommend adding next time the unforgettable: Assiniboine Park, Assiniboine Zoo, Birds Hill Provincial Park, Chaeban (best ice cream in Canada in 2022), Festival du Voyageur, Esplanade Riel, Saint Boniface Cathedral, Osborne Village, Red River Ex Festival, Pineridge Hollow Farmer's Market, St Norbert Farmers Market, Fringe Festival, Folklorama, Chinatown Night Market, Nuit Blanche Festival, Prairie Dog Central Railway. These are things that make Winnipeg unique from my point of view. Actually, I use to say that Manitoba is a hidden gem, without a question mark. Would you disagree?: Riding Mountain Park, Northern Lights, Churchill (polar bears, beluga wales), Narcisse (the largest concentration of snakes in the world.), Corn & Apple Festival, Dauphin's Country Fest, Icelandic Festival, A Maze in Corn, Morris Stampede, Whiteshell Provincial Park, etc, etc

With all due respect it’s really not the center of North America. That’s located in North Dakota. It seems as though perhaps you’ve forgotten Mexico in your equation.

Winnipeg is a shit hole. The violent criminals are catered to and the citizens suffer. I know after a concert while returning to their car my son daughter, pregnant, daughter-in-law ex-wife, and her stepdaughter were viciously attacked for no reason repeat zero reason. My son and daughter and daughter in law fought off the attackers and my son ended up murdered. The police were tirelessly night and day for all of there efforts to be shit on laws. The perpetrators caught 100% guilty no court no world wouldn’t convict and they’re chilling on bail. That’s a great city. All of the regular citizens are fantastic, but live in fear because criminals have more rights than they do.
