Hi @MakeThatChange,
can you make a video on Calgary, please? Especially in regards to living costs and the IT job market. I was looking forward to a video about Calgary in your Cities of Canada playlist but couldn't find any.
Thanks in advance.
Amazing video. Go Jets! Watching in the UK.❤
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!
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
Having grown up in the gta, no other cities compare. Yeah the other cities are much cheaper bit toronto is very special.
How about Saskatoon?
Well toronto lost it so maybe Winnipeg will get it
So glad you made a video about Winnipeg. I was one of the ones lamenting it not being in your list of nice destinations in Canada.
hahah glad we heard you 💕
Thanks for a balanced and informative video! I live in Winnipeg, and have lived in Vancouver and Seoul as well. This city definitely has a gritty side, but the cultural gems, good people, and affordability make it a great place to live. I love this place.
Thanks for sharing! We found that the city definitely has a lot of potential and is largely underestimated.
Thanks for this video. You really tried to show us the best of Winnipeg. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video ladies. A delight to watch and very imformative. Nailed it!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been watching your videos about Canad all time since I'm still outside Canada waiting for my resettlement to be done but yesterday I received from IRCC that I'm going to this city as last destination and now I'm feeling this video is made especially for me and my new city!
Thank you❤
It was made especially for you 🥰 congrats and wishing you all the best! keep us posted on how your resettlement goes.
Ohh, how much I miss Winnipeg on my early 20s. I missed outdoor ice skating at the forks, cross country skiing at birds hill, sipping afternoon coffee at Osbourne st, enjoying gelato treats at Corydon or Ice creams at BDI, summer barbecue at Assiniboine park, camping at hecla island, Sunday night ride at portage, watching ppl playing Frisbee at memorial Park, having all you can eat Sushi somewhere at Pembina, eating a warm Vietnamese pho nearby UofW, and last but not least enjoying annual Winnipeg jazz fest at downtown.
Is there any chance for a 44yo man from Indonesia with family of four going back for good to Winnipeg via Manitoba provincial nominee program?
Thank you for coming to Winnipeg with open loving hearts. Your video is spot on to everything us Winnipeggers enjoy and deal with about our city. Thank you again, please come back and know you are welcome here!
Thank you so much! Feedback from the locals means a lot!
Thanks! its a very good Work!
Glad you like it!
I don’t live in Winnipeg anymore however I miss it so much, home will always be Winnipeg. These are the things I miss about Winnipeg; fall season and hanging out at the forks, hanging out in corydon and Osborne area, friendly people, first day of snow, and more.
I will come visit soon. I miss you winnipeg! ❤
❤ we're sure it misses you too!
Depending on when you left you might not recognize it. I grew up in Winnipeg and am trying to leave as soon as possible because I do not recognize it anymore. My uncle from the states thought he was in East India when he got here.
Great overview of Winnipeg! Keep it up! Come to Calgary!
Soon!
Thanks for making this. I moved from Winnipeg to Montreal in October 2022 and Winnipeg will always be home to me. It is a beautiful city with much to do and many things to see. Even the cons you mentioned, they are found anywhere, and hardly disqualify it as a great place to live.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the video! The city exceeded all the expectations we had!
How bad is the winter?
Thank you for the winnipeg coverage. I came to GTA from Winnipeg, kind of regret. Compared to the crazy commute and rent in GTA, cold is not a very problem.
Thanks for stopping by and you'll have to revisit when it's warmer.
No doubt!
good video ..thanks for share the beauty of your country. My greetings from Paraguay
Thanks for watching!
superb analysis & presentation 👌
Thanks a ton!
7:12 - yes a lot of sand is used on roads during the winter. Early spring right after the snow melts can be the ugliest time of year but it gets cleaned up and all the other seasons are beautiful.
That’s great to know!
I will come to Winnipeg in September, and this video is one of the most informative content I ever found. Thanks for this and keep up the good work
Glad it was helpful! All the best with your journey to Winnipeg - and share with us your impressions later 🙏
Welcome to my home city!
Thank you for another informative video :)
Our pleasure!
Coming this December 😅
I'm so excited.
all the best with you landing and settling down!
I'm hoping to be there one day great video
Thank you! All the best in your journey!
Very good video. One addition are our incredible restaurants. We have some amazing eclectic places to eat.
What are some restaurants you’d highly recommend?
Winnipeg is a really nice city, especially in the summer. There is a real lake culture to the city, as many residents head out to enjoy one of many lakeside towns during the warm summer months. Grand Beach is considered one of the nicer fresh water beaches in the world. Many people own cottages in the lakeside communities and enjoy a mix of nature and relaxation.
Thanks for the tip - that's so lovely to hear!
It's so nice people can't wait to leave in the summer lol
@@deanbalboaLOL our winters are to die for💀
Good informative video.
Glad you liked it!
I have lived in Winnipeg for 30 years. As most Winnipeggers, I have a love hate relationship with the city. It is truly beautiful from April to October. It is great the first two weeks in November. The fresh falling snow is always amazing. Then the cold sets in and it just stays for months and months.
But that this not why we love hate it. Fact we hate the gangs, crime, and abuses. We love the posh, well presented, and cleanliness of it all. Even the worst neighborhood look a lot better the the best of Montreal.
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.
If you ever go through Winnipeg again try to see the many river trails, some of the small oxbow lakes, wet forests, marsh land, and the natural prairie grass preserve. There is alot of natural parks around Winnipeg as well the big urban parks. Also take a river boat taxis from the Folks to Corydon Ave. in summer. It's great for a brunch at the Forks in the morning and a drink in the afternoon in Little Italy.
Thank you for the tip. Noted for next time!
So many buildings here are brown, because of local quarries producing a brown stone in that shade called Tyndall Stone. It's not used so much anymore, but you'll see lots of older buildings use that.
Thanks for sharing this insight! 😊
Every city / town in the world has its pros and cons…. I lived my whole life in Winnipeg/Manitoba and yes it has its fair share of problems but it has also so many wonderful places that are underrated and spectacular.
❤️
Wow great vid friends, we moved from Alberta in 2021 to Mexico as it was our dream for the past 12 years to retire in Mexico. Alberta was good to us. Though I was born and raised in Flin Flon Manitoba. Cheers everyone from Mexico. 👋🏽👋🏽✌🏽
That is awesome!
I wish you two visited in the summer. You would really see how hot it gets here and how much cleaner it look from the spring. The sand is cleaned up in the spring from when it was put down in the winter. Springtime is always messier than the summer.
All the more reason to come back 😊
Clean? Where? Not downtown that's for sure, it's a dump.
@@deanbalboa Nobody asked
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.
💕💕💕
I’m happy you didn’t get stabbed or assaulted.
I have lived in Winnipeg my whole life. Believe me when I say is sucks balls here. High crime rate, bad roads, rude people, and harsh winter. Like really bad winters.
Drama queen
@@BM_2002truth hurts?
@ryansperception Yea, what I said is true. This city is full whiny entitled babies, yes how dare I speak the truth.
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?
Wonderful name!🌟 Did you guys call her Winnie?
Tragically, She died before I was born, but she also named a daughter Winnie. So, somewhere, in there, it became one of the wack-a-mole names, poping up in the family tree. @@MakeThatChange
Where in Canada is WINNIPEG located,I m wondering .
Very fascinating to see someone talk so positively about Winnipeg. I lived there for 12y and couldn't wait to get out of there. It is a wonderful city if you are intrested in owning a home....in the middle of nowhere 😅 Still to each thier own hehe
That skatepark looks amazing...in fact, it is amazing, and I'm going to go ride it right now.
By the way, there are about 18 skateparks in the city.
that's so cool! didn't know that! Enjoy the ride!
I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and people hate it here but I love it
Great video. Can you cover Calgary please?
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.
Thanks for this insight
That dance you did 😂😂❤
🤪
Winnipeg is underrated. I understand some points made about the city but ultimately I really enjoy visiting there.
We enjoyed the visit too!
Keyword "visiting". Try living in Winnipeg and see if your view remains the same.
I've only been to Winnipeg once, but I really liked that city.
💕
Rents are going up in Winnipeg like everywhere else. Its not cheap like some people like to say.
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.
The sand may be because of the low temperatures. When the temperatures drop low enough, salt on roads becomes useless, therefore the sand…I think. Glad you pointed out the connection to Winnie the Pooh.
Central location? It’s in the middle of nowhere!
🤣🤣
Very much like Siberia (Russia) in the winter. -45c is not uncommon. Highest murder rate per capita in Canada if I'm not mistaken.
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.
That literally every city clown
❤❤❤
I heard that Regina is the city with the highest crime rate per capita.
Kirkland Montreal please 😊
Insightful video, can you do same for Saskatoon or Regina?
Yes, we would love to visit those cities one day!
Thank you for showing Winnipeg as it is! Every city has its cons, but people are usually unfair about Winnipeg. We immigrated from Brazil 9 years ago, and I feel at home in Winnipeg like I've never felt in my own hometown. Manitoba is a wonderful place and the nicest people live here ❤
Oi, tudo bem?
Estou planejando ir com a família no fim de semana do Memorial day, 27 de maio, moro em Minnesota e vou dirigindo até aí.
Você poderia me dar algumas dicas de onde ficar e o que fazer durante um fim de semana?
Agradeço e um abraço.
I was born in the Peg in 1961…got my architectural degree from the U of M….
Winnipeg is def one of the more affordable cities in Canada, at least out of all the province capitals.
💯💯
😂😂😂😂
Oh boy, can't wait to see what this person says about my city.
How was it? 😉
@@MakeThatChange haven't watched the whole video yet, but so far it's very informative.
I actually didn't know that the Winnipeg general strike ended violently, nor that it lasted 6 weeks.
Glad to hear you learned something new! We learned a lot while there!
@@MakeThatChange how long ago did you visit?
That was some time in March this year ( 2023)
The best memory of Winnipeg was on the day I boarded the plane and never looked back. That was three years ago. Hands down the most boring place on planet Earth. I stayed there for 7 years - my job was well paid- but had a plan to leave since day one. So, YES, you can go there, but just as a stepping stone for somewhere else.
Thanks for sharing that - how are you liking where you are now?
What made it "boring" for you might not make it boring for others. Not everyone is a sex-addicted pothead who only feels alive during bar hopping, smh.
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672 So true. It's amazing though how you jumped to the conclusion that a person thinks a place is boring because they are sex-dedicated pothead. It is hilarious and says a lot more about you than the other person.
@@MakeThatChange It has been great!
@@user-ef9iv9zo2cwhere r u now and what job u had in winnipeg
Tell me about surrey and sarnia, Plato
I love this video!
💕💕
Winnipeg is not actually a bad city, looking forward to visit soon from Regina !
Let us know your impressions!
heyo! you forgot to mention that winnipeg is the slurpee capital of the world. people there love the 7-eleven slurpees!
Ahhh we didn’t know that 😮
Not much going on there, but a lot of good looking people and great food scene.
nice - that's already a lot for some people!
Total bummer that you didn't do this during the summer when it's a lot more colorful and warm, rather than the beginning of spring before street cleaning has been done, or trees and other plant life has come out of hibernation.
I think this gives a pretty bad impression of our city.
All the more reason to come back in summer 😊
I will save you from having to watch this video. Winnipeg a hidden gem? NO absolutely not.
Sincerely, the rest of Canada.
My lovely city 🥰
💕😊
Enjoyable and informative video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
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 😜
Hahaha duly noted!
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
Thanks for sharing this.
Did you make this Video in July?
In April
Winning the Peg was know as the Recirculation of All-Ingestions😊
Known mostly for the high Crime??
You also must try chicken tenders with honey dill sauce if you visit Winnipeg. It's not my rule, its a requirement lol.
I love cold weather (though I ironically live in the American Southwest). I definitely gotta visit!
Please do!
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.
that's a curious fact about Winnipeg! We didn't notice the slanted streets - perhaps something to notice when we come back in the summer!
@@MakeThatChange I guess you didn’t see these as well. I was staying with my cousin on base housing to be fair.
Make a very distinctive noise when they break the sound barrier
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_CF-18_Hornet
Is it still snowing and the trees still don't have leaves at this time of the year in Winnipeg? We are in the middle of July now
What are you talking about??? I live in the heart of Winnipeg (downtown) and I haven’t seen snow for at least a couple of months or more. We’ve had sweltering heat for days on end. Are you living in a cocoon or something?
@@nancyrafnson4780 I was just asking that because the video was posted just 2 days ago and it was snowing when they took the video, and none of the trees had any leaf. So I was just wondering. No offence to Winnipegers
The video was shot in the middle of April
Winnipeg is more liveable than some of the other Canadian cities where rents are through the roof.
💕💕
No they're not stop lying
Even though Winnipeg is a very underrated city it isn't for me personally.
I moved in Winnipeg and the best treasure of this place is people.
I used to live there. thats all...
As long as you are not in the north end it's ok.
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.
Drama queen
Glad you left !
I hope to move to Winnipeng next Fall if I gain admission to UM.
Wishing you all the best! 🎉
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.
Once youve lived in Winnipeg for a year or so, and your brain starts working properly, you will want to get the f*** out and never go back. .
Winnpeg look more urbanized in 1919 than now lol
Wow Ana is so sweet and dance is wonderful,you are so lovely so i wish for you best.
Thank you so much! All the best to you!
Do not go to downtown at night😅 it is like Baltimore of canada😊
🙈🙈
Finally my city
💕 hope we did a good job covering it!
Are you done with your Canadian citizenship oath ceremony ?
Yes, stay tuned for the new video about it this week!👍🏻
Ahaha, i'm from Krasnoyarsk, so i don't afraid Canadian's winter🤣
🙌🙌😉
😅😅
They say the best thing about winnipeg is leaving it
"Winnipeg sees highest increase in crime severity index for census metropolitan areas from 2021-2022"
This is unfortunately the curse of every growing city, especially one with a history of delegated drug use 😕
Hi whats up well what idon't like about it's winnipeg winnipeg had alot of problems like homelessness poverty and drug addiction the government has to do something with winnipeg aslo i'm interested to study in canada like go to Montreal for study Montreal it's cheaper than toronto and the rest of canada
Montreal is a wonderful place to be in as a student!
A period, or comma, now and then would make it a lot easier to read your comment.
@@terryomalley1974 oh i think in a comma i know i love montreal much and i hopefully I'll stay for a year
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.
You missed out on the Trashcona bar crawls !
"I wish it was warmer." meanwhile you see a guy crossing the street in a T-shirt haha. I moved to Winnipeg for college in September and brought my parka, turns out I didn't use it much because this is by far the warmest winter I've experienced.
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
The open working VISA is most popular way to live there but unfotunately I still need an element
It's really curious for me to see that crime rate is a problem in Manitoba with 44 killings when I live in Rio de Janeiro and it had 3.052 killings in 2022
I heard that manitoba hidro is a compane with alot of oportunities off jobs , some body know someting about it ?, i'm on Brazil and i wish to emigrate to there .
