      Like I said Winnipeg is the same as Vancouver and we always see the Northern Lights. Every summer. Same latitude. You might have to leave the city lights to get a better view. I see them literally every year all the time , I work on CN rail and take trains out into the countryside. It is not unusual at all.

    Yeah well Winnipeg is about the same latitude as Vancouver and if you get out of the city lights you see the Northern Lights all the time. I don't see the big deal. Every summer you can see them. So this guy is wrong about Vancouver, It might be the city lights are too bright. But if you get out of the city to a dark countryside you should be able to see the Aurora Borealis at the 49th parallel any summer.
