My respect for you as a vlogger just went up. I like it when people are totally honest with situations even if that's what they are experiencing personally.
Wolo, this is one of your funniest videos. Your humor comes through especially when sharing your frustrations about snow in April. Please do a video on emotional issues that newcomers face when the land - loneliness, homesick etc - and how to deal/cope adapt
Snow in April!? That's not a Prairie thing that's a Canada thing. Here in Toronto there was snow until mid-May Also you hate the cold but you moved to Canada??? The 2nd coldest country in the world??? I'm not seeing the sense here
Left Winnipeg to move to Quebec. I would disagree that housing was affordable in Winnipeg. By far, here in Quebec, renting and buying is more feasible and less expensive. As for weather, winters were more manageable in Winnipeg I find because they were simply cold wheread in Quebec we have wet winters with freezing rain and power outages. I don't think I've ever experienced freezing rain and days without power when I lived back in Manitoba (I'd gladly take that dry and cold winters over what I experience now) . Despite all the cons like homicide rates and expensive living, I lived majority of my childhood and teenage life in Winnipeg and I miss it sometimes.
When you look up the cities with the highest crime rate in Canada, Regina and Saskatoon are ranked the highest. Not Winnipeg. A few cities in BC rank quite a bit higher in crime rate than Winnipeg does as well.
The Winnipeg crime issue will fade away. Why? I'll tell you. Most crimes are committed by young men. Right now, there is a large cohort of young men in the Canadian prairies, especially in Winnipeg. So the problem isn't with crime in Winnipeg. The problem is with the proportion of young men in the overall population. When these young men grow up, the incidence of crime will decrease.
Winnipeggers have a saying: "There is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices". The secret to staying warm is to dress in layers. If in doubt, dress like a local. "Life Where I'm From" has a good UA-cam video about how Canadians survive winter, and it was filmed in Winnipeg.
I intend to land in Ottawa. Just like you I have been doing lots of research as I am firm believer in whatever is worth doing is worth doing well. So pls Wolo, kindly go to Ottawa. All the best and thanks for all you do.
Hi Wolo You look amazing love your top!! Can you please post more info about Newfoundland ,St John to be precise. I know due to the Lock down you won't manage to travel around and explore as in intended but would love to see video posted about this Province and its capital. Stay safe 🙏🏽
I m from morocco and i have offer to live and work in manitoba .. and i intended to move out there .. but im in shock and suprise .. i tought its safe country and city but im scare for my family !!
I can totally relate to how you feel Wolo, more than half the time, i ask myself why i still live in SK. I cannot wait to explore more of Canada though so I can make a better decision on where to try next. We will be okay sis
MARINA ESIRI ha now you people want to scare us... abi we should kukuma siddon for lasgidi 😂😂😂. I cant even sleep with Ac... The thought of cold is scaring me already . If not for Provincial Nomination probably would have gone to less cold province. Also the crime rate she mentioned in manitoba is scary... hope Saskatchewan isnt that bad too. Maybe you also do a video for different neighborhoods in Saskatoon @ marina.
Totally agree. Winnipeg is a shit hole. I lived there for few years that was the worst time in my whole life. Living cost is cheap for reason. People usually complain about too many natives living in Winnipeg, well I don't think so. The biggest problem is lots of racists you can encounter everywhere and a small job market with nepotism. I did my time there and moved to a bigger city, feel so happier.
Hi there! I would like to clarify things about the crime in Winnipeg. Winnipeg is full of vibrant communities that work with what they have to nurture themselves and flourish where they are given opportunities to do so. The crime she mentions where a young girl was murdered by a police officer for stealing alcohol is one that happens often. However, these crimes are rooted in problems deeper than just "good person/bad person" narratives. Delivering news on crimes in a way that doesn't have all the details regarding the history of poverty, governmental neglect and intergenerational trauma and systemic racism is irresponsible. Yes, crime happens. Unfortunately in Winnipeg, moreso in impoverished parts of the city, crime is high. This happens when communities are unsupported or threatened with removal of programs that connect and keep people together. It happens across the world, but there are advocates and passionate people in winnipeg working within these communities and fighting for these communities to help bring them out of the abuse of a system that is stacked against them. I hope in the future you'll be willing to look beyond a few negative things that happen in this city and come visit! It is a home-y city. It's not flashy like vancouver or toronto. But it's not meant to be.
Hello WOLO, HOW ARE YOU HOPE FINE THOUGH. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO . I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING YOU SINCE 2017 BUT YOU HAVE NEVER ANSWERED TO ANY OF MY WORRIES JUST THINKING IF YOU ALWAYS SELECT THE PEOPLE YOU ANSWER TO THEIR WORRIES
Yes ooo, we are wearing "SINGLET" in Ontario now😀. While we are complaining of high Mortgage and rent. I admire your openness in dissecting your thoughts. E ku Ise o.
@@dvaliantenvr.hubspot2703 You are welcome ! Just pray and work towards it with a clear goal. Follow the IMMIGRATION PROCESS and procedures. Good Luck 🙏.
@@CanadaInfohub thank you for responding, but ermm I can only see a video from last year about one neighbourhood (St Anne's), is it that one? Is that the only good place to stay in Winnipeg?
Hi, I moved from the GTA to Ottawa, there are job opportunities here but the weather is equally as bad. The weather really affects me here and we recently went to Mississauga for a weekend break last month before the lockdown, there was hardly any snow on the ground and the weather was mild. If I had a choice I would move back I a heartbeat. The best place to live in Canada is the GTA to be honest. Everything is easily available, African food etc and proximity to USA. Ottawa is quiet but it can become boring and isolating people are very conservative here and I'm not even an extrovert. You will tend to do things by yourself a lot. In the GTA people are a lot more open and it's easy to make lasting connections for social gathering and kids. The only positive for me here is the work opportunities. I will look into transferring to the GTA.
@@kk-ty2gp I don't agree, this is a typical racist's answer. Unfortunately this man has so much hatred in his heart. However, many Canadians don't adhere to this man's disgusting perspective and truly find value in the refugees who seek asylum in our country and cities. People are people, and while this man is so little and sad in his own head, there are many others in the city of winnipeg itself who want growth, change and connectivity. I'm sorry you had to read this, and I'm sorry that there are people out there like this. All we can do is work on our own connections and grow our positive experiences beyond people like Richard.
Hi there Caleb, I have posted on this video many positives about coming to winnipeg. It sometimes takes time but people can be very welcoming once you find yourself in a community that supports your interests. :)
You initially sold Winnipeg to us in your earlier posts, now that you have settled and have some money and contact, you know now its very bad. Am highly disappointed in you. Leave if you want to.
@@peteremehel7303 They only demonetize channels that REALLY need the support and money lmao it's fucking stupid. The rich get richer and the smaller channels lose out.
Hloooo dear, good morning madam wolo, am Margaret from Dubai, but I want to come to canada next year that when I would be finished my contract, my question is can you contact me to employer direct as nanny /caregiver thank you for your time 🙏🙏
I knew the cold and crime would be your reasons before watching. However, like you rightly said it's an ideal city to start and many immigrants eventually move to other provinces. Good job Wolo! Stay Safe
@@RichardCockerill That's not a real solution Richard. A solution to an unsafe neighbourhood is finding the root of the problem. The north end suffers from serious governmental neglect. There are few support systems in place that help those in need in impoverished places reach a level of safety. Growing up in poverty is directly related to higher rates of violence and crime. What needs to happen is people who are in the north end need to have access to community programs and affordable but presentable housing. When people are treated like they don't deserve respect for generation after generation, they begin to believe it. Similar to how when people are fed racism as children or expose themselves to narratives that only work to feed exactly what they believe rather than developing their own opinions by hearing contrasting ones from other people's perspectives. Winnipeg and its people can be the friendliest I've met in all my travels. There is potential for growth and development in everything and everyone. I hope you keep that in mind the next time you decide to post racist band-aid solutions that work for no one. Have a beautiful day.
Hi there Kalvista. I'm sorry to hear about your experiences at such a young age. The north end can be a real tough place to grow up and be sometimes. There are some initiatives in place that always need support to help develop communities and the connections the people in those communities have. If you're interested in seeing the north end becoming a safer and more accessible place to live, I highly suggest taking the time to find those programs and volunteering with them to make your city a safer and more welcoming place for everyone. These initiatives are often not supported by the govt because it doesn't fit with the narrative that has been played out for generations. (a narrative that segregates indigenous peoples and refugees from middle-class white people and perpetuates violence by not placing the right support systems where they belong for those marginalized persons) It's time for a change. You deserve to feel safe and welcomed in your city no matter where you live. And so does everyone else.

Its nice here in bc :)
Winter are better in BC
Hello, I really get a lot of inspiration from watching your videos about Canada... God bless you and protect you.
Thank you and God bless you too
Yes the weather is bad, but people living in Winnipeg don't lose their homes to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc.
just to a govt that doesn't care about its already disadvantaged peoples.

We have the highest per capita, murder atleast
Nope that goes to north battlefield Saskatchewan
CSI in Winnipeg is one the highest out there, top 5 as of 2019 if I remember

Hi Wolo,
You can't go anywhere o!
Your videos encouraged me to land in Winnipeg and now you want to leave us here? Lol
Hmm, thanks for being honest. God bless you. Sharing right away.

Wow! your outfit is beautiful. This is how we know that Nigeria has just visited you, right? Awesome
Yes o, I am just waiting for summer to become the fashionista that I am not lolz
You mean the crime rate surpasses Ajegule, Ikoyi, Lagos?

No its too cold there
Wow so we have the street in Canada 🤣🤣🤣 Orile/Agege neighborhood
Love your African print.
Thank you
Canada has 10 provinces (not 3), and 3 territories.
When she said three she was referring only to the prairie provinces: Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba
What would you say about MORDEN CITY? In terms of Safety
Morden is safe and cold too
Go to Victoria. Nice weather bigger opportunities, more people BUT the trade off is its EXPENSIVE AF...
I rather be where there is no snow and cold and manage the expense
I am in Quebec, Planning to move to Manitoba Next year, what advise can you give me please
Why are you leaving Quebec? If I may ask
Welcome to cold cold Manitoba

Can you educate us about the territories in Canada, I mean Yukon and the likes
Ok now I am more scared of winipeg. I have serious allergy to cold seems Manitoba isn't a place for someone like me. 😆 Thanks for the info Wolo dear
Lolz, I usually complain after waiting all these months to have a warm nice weather and I dont see it
Thanks Wolo! See you after COVID-19 pandemic in Jesus name!
Yes o
Congratulations
You no you are promoting hate, really good job on the hate
I wonder why you can't mention Coronavirus or Covid-19 in your videos but I see other guys on UA-cam in Canada mention those words.
They demonitize channels mentioning it

Thank you

However, like you rightly said it's an ideal city to start and many immigrants eventually move to other provinces.

Thanks, it is truly but most people somehow just like Manitoba and endure the cold, as for me I am already tired and plotting my move
It's currently snowing in Calgary.
All the prairie provinces are too cold
Anytime I hear about those 2 names...Manitoba,Winnipeg, i get so depressed.
Colder than Saskatchewan????? Im suprised. Thought sask was the worst
Winnipeg is the coldest big city in canada
Winnipeg is number 1 followed by Saskatchewan
