the architecture of this city is kinda bland very square lacks character the shot over the bridge was amazing then you go into the core and its a bunch of concrete buildings and some really ugly modernish builds thinking late 90s 2000s builds. Non of it flows well very spread out. Probably one of the uglier downtowns in western Canada for the size tbh comparing the two Saskatchewan cities you can tell Regina is where a lot of the old money was spent. Downtown flowed much better some of older builds gave the area an grand sort of vibe and the 60/70 builds were quite nice and flowed well with the earlier builds and the builds from the 90s also flow well with the modern builds. Defiantly needs some infills but it seems more dense which is what you want in the main core especially in a smaller city. the spread out mentality of Edmonton and Saskatoon just look bad. Lots of empty spaces and the builds are similar very bland. both have very nice river fronts but the downtowns are lacking in character this city especially they need to shrink the core significantly and infill from there and expand the core when needed.
Why does this look like a soviet city? Even Regina had more character than this place. Where are the old architecture? The trees? Parks? People? The opening shot was amazing then it just turned into blah.
I never been to canada but this video has shown me that now I have seen canada particulary the ottawa city how it looks like, I would say that it's nice city with nice weather👍👍my greeting from Timor Leste🇹🇱
Doesn't even seem like downtown I swear! I live in Toronto and this is like a normal everyday street here. I lived in the peg for 6 yrs though when i was a teenager. Its a unique little city, not too big not too small. Everything seems so slow out there when i visit. Even downtown lol.
Wouldn’t say 750k people is small. Biggest difference really is Winnipeg doesn’t really have any other cities near it as where Toronto has a bunch of good sized cities near it and they are all relatively close to each other. As where Manitoba the second biggest city is over 2 hours away.
You started downtown, made your way to the highway then took the entrance back downtown. Not sure why. You could've kept going West to explore the actual city. Unless you're into looking at tall buildings.
Where are all the nice homes in suburbia? Where are the grocery supercenters, the banks, auto service centers, the fancy restaurants, where can an American get a good steak? Where are the Byrne dairies? Museums? Horticulture gardens? The roads look well kept, the tourist office has some explaining to do.
Wouldn't take much to get lost, in a foreign land, with a different language, currency, where the metric system is used, and it better be in spring or early summer, because damn, winters are brutal.
Thank you for posting this video. I recently moved out of the country for work and Winnipeg is where I grew up, so when I really miss it I will throw this video on my TV and just let it play in the background while I work.
Thanks for the video. Grew up in stoon left in 85,met a girl from nova Scotia been living in the maritimes ever since now live south of fredericton nb. Oh how things hv changed. Did recognize many of the downtown buildings. Brings back memories.
I was in Montreal years ago and I didn't find it ugly at all. I loved Old Montreal and a lot of the historic buildings. I'm from the Prairies and the vibe in Montreal and Quebec is cool. Much more energetic and a lot more culture than where I live.
