      had a ton of them in Winnipeg. They would swarm the gas station I worked at. Gross, but harmless and not nearl as bad as the mosquito and wasp problem they have in Winterpeg. Also the warm climate is really nice after enduring -30c january and february every year there too. Windsor is actually a very clean and nice city and I have no clue why it's named the armpit of Canada by some people.

    Poor old Windsor, my hometown. My family used to have businesses on Oeullette and Goyeau south of Wyandoote and now that area looks like a demilitarized zone. North of Wyandoote is a bit cleaner but stilll a ghost town. When I was a kid the downtown was humming, then the Casino really wrecked the place. Thanks a pantload, Bob Rae.

    You did not mention THE RATS if you live near The River ..I worked there for 5 months in 2008 at the Casino and stayed in a rented house a few blocks away and up to that point in my life had never seen a rat ...And i seen rats like i see squirrels here in London and also the hum i heard it all the time when there at night mostly ...The best thing i found to do there on down time was the Board walk best at night watching Detroit lights coming on ...If you want a city that is blan with nothing much to do except for on the River then its a great place ..I think they need a Canadas Wonderland type park .. Anything worth doing is across the Boarder ....Sure you have the Casino but that is not a family fun place...Would not want to live there and the only reason i visited there was to show my niece all the work i did in the hotel side of the Casino and the river walk and then went home ....Its sad that this city has to live in the shadow of Detroit and the fact that a Las Vegas casino company owns the casino ...

    I lived on the river front in Windsor from 2017-2020 and I never saw these Fish Flies and never even heard of them being a problem, so IDK. The city is small and not the most exciting, but it is decent and I truly enjoyed my time there (was there for grad school). On the opposite end, I moved to Sault Ste. Marie in 2021-2022 for work and also loved it up there :) (for anyone who might be considering moving).

    Fishing is huge here, the two biggest food places we have here are seafood and Italian food too but obviously we have our McDonald’s and other kinds of food like Mexican…but we have a lot of good food here.
    In terms of a nightlife in Windsor I have no clue at all, like we have a casino or two and stuff but maybe someone from Windsor could tell me something about the nightlife.
    A peeve I have is that there’s garbage everywhere except the parks and nature trails thankfully, not like a ton or anything but there’s at least 1-3 bits of garbage every block you walk down in the suburban areas.
    Remington park and I’ve never ever seen a park have this…it has its own little mini water park that has one water slide, two pools, and a diving board. Coolest. Thing. Ever. Especially for the local kids.
    The public transport is nice most of the time but there are times where people are just packed in like sardines lol so be aware of that.
    What he says is true about the weather but it is wayyyy better than say Orlando, Florida. In terms of the summer.

    Getting a "pardon" is only a "Canadian" pardon. To my knowledge, the crime of which you were - charged, and convicted still shows up on your record. That being said, United States Border & Immigration can still deny you: if you answer falsely to the following questions;
    A) have you ever been finger printed ? [Yes. That is a real question]
    B) have you ever been " charged " with a crime ?
    C) have you ever been " convicted " of a crime ?
    [Keep in mind a pardon which is granted from a Canadian Court Of Law, for whatever reason is not recognized by the United States Border & Immigration Control]
    An additional piece of information is if you have any type of radiation treatment [chemo therapy, scans that use the irradiated dye injected into you. They can and have been known to set of the Radiation sensors going into the United States.
    Ryan. You should be telling the subscribers that if they go into the United States for shopping, roughly what the amount is that they are allowed to bring into Canada; "Duty Free". Which if you are out of Canada you are allowed to bring a certain amount of purchased goods back to Canada without having to pay an additional tax on them.

    Lol, everything you mentioned is avoidable. You did over dramatize the fish flies. Their swarming is largly dependent on the wind. Keep your lights off at home during the night and use a gas station that pumps for you or buy gas during the day. Construction on EC Rowe can be avoided(use your gps) but I'd argue that Toronto traffic is far worse even if there is no construction there. Other than that, nobody cares that it's hot and muggy we have AC in our cars and homes. The land being flat is not worth mentioning. As far as clubbing, there are some and the Casino has free live bands every weekend. Enjoy Windsor folks.

    I'm not sure Detroit is consider a major city even casually now. It was a a major and one of the major American cities along long time ago.
    Seems like The sports teams and the some of culture institutions, were just maintained as centre for the whole larger region / county.
    Most large scale major concert tours or big acts actually skip Detroit.
    Generally Its only bands that are building up an audience that will do Detroit dates. Its a big deal for people who are into live music and bands
    The population of Detroit is under 600, 000 and still dropping, so less than Hamilton now. Hamilton had been growing while Detroit is still dropping

    And the local AM 800 radio station is very woke unfortunately.

      Yes, the Windsor radio stations are left wing woke,but thankfully Detroit has a few conservative stations like WMUZ's Bob Dutko / 1400 AM's Mike Gallagher & WJR 's Mark Levin.
