    I am a ewcomer in Winnipeg (Arrived on december 15th), and I must say that the first impression of the city and the people has been very positive, I am living in the area of St Vital Center and I have been told that it is a fairly safe area and as you say the people so far have been very friendly.
    It is true that the public transportation could be a bit better but it still does the job and if you plan well with the hours of the buses you can use it in a good way.

    I’m gonna be honest, none of these cons sound like they’re that bad. I’m from the US, so I can handle mosquitos. The worst thing to me sounds like the crime rates, but again it seems like there are certain places that are safer than others and as long as you can keep your wits about you, you should be fine it seems. Plus as long as I’m not living in the US so there’s an advantage there too. Pro Number 7!

    Great video. Ive been living here since 2016. I used to live in kitchener waterloo ontario for university. Only good thing about over there was it only a few hours drive away to toronto. But wpg is kinda in the middle of nowhere. But i still like it here. I think we will see a lot of growth in the next 5 to 10 years tbh seeing all the developments all over the city. Also waterloo is not as cold temperature wise even though it was still very cold imo.. but it snows just as much or more over there. Climate wise i prefer winnipeg cause of lots of sunny days. People wear sunglasses while driving in winter in winnipeg it was funny at first but i like it lol. As long as you have garage, or covered or indoor parking for your home, or even just invest in remote starter to warm up your car in the winter before leaving, its very tolerable imo.

      @@tiadeutschmann7596 hey, kw has a lot of tech jobs I think, winnipeg has more diverse jobs but for me cuz I studied engineering I found that there’s a lot of companies here are manufacturing industries. It kinda makes sense cause winnipeg is kinda blue collar. But there’s definitely lots of higher quality jobs too and some tech jobs I never really considered cuz I don’t code ynno. Social life is actually pretty good. I’m part of lgbtq and there’s a few clubs for that which was there last weekend and it was packed. And there’s a lot of straight clubs and people in other cities think it’s surprising that winnipeg has night life but compared to Toronto I guess it’s meh, but compared to kw I think it’s great. Keep in mind there’s quite a few sketchy areas within the city. Also winnipeg has developments but we don’t look similar to Toronto or kw. We don’t build glass buildings much. Mostly low to mid rise too. Try to visit before you decide I suggest :)
