I visited from Atlanta GA.... Everything was so different. I love the Canadian cutlure. So many different people. I was staying on Peguis street and Regeant avenue. There was a business called VISIONS across the street. I took the bus to Portage place. I had lots of putine. It was so cool to be sorta one of kind. I had never experienced so much snow in all my life and cold tempatuees. This was my first time in another country so I will never forget it. I had an amazing time...!
I'm Canadian from Edmonton. My first trip to the U.S was Baltimore. I loved it as well ,even though people run down Baltimore. Glad you had a good time for your first Canada trip in nna city. Lol one Winnipeg. Never been bit Won't ok nnis a bigger version but a lot alike I'm told. Have to visit Atlanta one day! Southern food looks great!
@@gp7910 I am from Atlanta as well. I just drove from Atlanta to Carman MB last week. The roads were snowy and icy. Temps were in the 20s. I was making a delivery. 2nd time in Canada. 1st time I flew to Detroit and took a taxi to the casino in Windsor. I hope to visit Winnipeg and go to a hockey game. City looks so clean!!!!!
@@mattresstyme2130 Winnipeg ,Edmonrinna d Regina are a little rough around the edges for a Canadian cities. Just be careful in some areas and don't think cause it's Canada it's totally safe...though like U.S cities most areas are fine . Edmonton in the summer is awesome !
Really miss Winnipeg, I lived in Winnipeg from 2003 to 2012, now live in China, I visited Winnipeg again in 2014, I still miss there so much, Winnipeg is like my hometown.
this vlogger somehow bi-passed places like the north end of winnipeg, point douglas area, ellice ave and main street. well kept areas for the privileged of course.
I visited Winnipeg for the first time, just this past weekend. I really loved it, and looking forward to gong back soon. I was in the Union Station where part of this video walks through. It was quite beautiful. The Human Rights Museum is simply wonderful! I want to go back to this wonderful city soon.
Fond memories spending the first 10 years of my life in Winnipeg. I moved to BC and missed the Winnipeg winters... hockey, snow forts, tobogganing, sleigh rides... still miss it to this day! Call me crazy hahaha
Thank you sir for videotaping your walk through the downtown to the St. Boniface Cathedral and down by the riverside of the assiniboine river, Gee, our city seemed so quiet, Amazzing... hardly anyone around. But, then again, Who'd be walking in the winter... Only the ones who are capable to have the energy and desire to walk in the winter.... God bless you sir, Thank you so much. It has been a pleasure.
MIŁO MI SIĘ OGLĄDAŁO.mój brat chodził i jeżdził tymi ulicami.Teraz już nie ma go w śród żywych pozostał tam na zawsze .Pozdrawiam z Polski. Szkoda że kamerzysta się nie odzywa.Przeszedł sporo drogi, szybko szedł---dzięki,-super film
My old man started to work for CN in 57' and ran his crew while going all over Canada to remote places to fix the lines and signals. He received his 25-year wall clock and plague along with some other little treats. After CN's move to Syminton, he worked for another eighteen years until retirement. He'll be gone coming two years in may, 2023. With all the history, I've never so much as walked into this place. One day soon.
@@silencenhikes6692 it used to be the north end of main st that you would not walk alone at night, so I guess all the druggie gangs move to downtown now?
Winnipeg is a funny place and people either love it or they hate it. Personally, I love it. The ones who hate Winnipeg, I think, tend to be wrapped up in their own sense of ennui. Here's a song by that great Winnipeg band, The Weakerthans: "One Great City" (The chorus is "I HATE Winnipeg") Enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zhjhzegSJ24.html
Kind of looks empty, your city, just buildings , and where are the cafes, restarurants, places for people to go in and socialise, coffee shops?? I am from Canada too..but in my city there is a coffee shop or a place to eat every few metres..
@@eddyfunk6781 oh, really.. That is strange, cause Tripadvisor shows enormous amount of cafes and restaurants in Winnipeg.. Are none of them located Downtown? The map shows that there are a certain amount of them in the centre,maybe they are in other areas,than the one you described..?? Anyway, was just curious, because i would like to explore other Canadian cities, more affordable ones..
There are a lot of places to eat, and the food in Winnipeg is great. You just don't see too many of them in this video because most of them don't face the street --- they're either accessible from inside larger buildings or they're on side streets away from noisy traffic. Also, when this video was shot, most restaurants had already closed their outdoor tables for the season.
@@DaveGIS123 Hello, thank you so much for answering my question!.. it is confusing to see many contrasting comments about Winnipeg What would you say about Exchange District? Some say it has lots to offer, some say its empty after 6pm and not safe.. What areas would you recommend to live, in terms of being affordable, but close to centre?
@@joang.6664 I’m glad to help you. The Exchange District and the nearby Warehouse District feature a huge number of very good restaurants but many of them service the daytime business crowd and do close early. The ones that stay open late offer excellent food and drink. Here’s a small selection: www.tripadvisor.ca/RestaurantsNear-g154954-d564271-Exchange_District_Guided_Walking_Tour-Winnipeg_Manitoba.html Like most restaurants downtown, many of the ones on this list don’t have much of a street front presence --- some of them are almost literally holes-in-the-wall --- but you can find some real gems there. Use Google Maps to see where they are, and check their web pages to see their menus. As for places to live, I really can’t answer that question for you. It all depends on what you want, be it a single detached house, condo, or apartment. Here’s a link to a site where you can find up-to-date information on what’s available: www.realtor.ca/map#ZoomLevel=16&Center=49.896140%2C-97.140165&LatitudeMax=49.90110&LongitudeMax=-97.12584&LatitudeMin=49.89118&LongitudeMin=-97.15449&Sort=6-D&PGeoIds=g30_cbfgtjkk&GeoName=Winnipeg%2C%20MB&PropertyTypeGroupID=1&PropertySearchTypeId=1&TransactionTypeId=2&Currency=CAD Type in Winnipeg for the city, and use the filter options to find the type of accommodation you’re looking for. Oh, if you do visit Winnipeg, be sure to take in some of our festivals. In Winter, check out Festival du Voyageur, which celebrates Winnipeg’s strong French Canadian heritage heho.ca/fr/ or, if you come in summer, enjoy Folklorama, the largest and longest-running multicultural festival in the world en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folklorama Cheers!
@@DaveGIS123 Thank you very much indeed for all the useful info and the links! Very kind of you , I appreciate very much you taking time to answer me, sincerely wishing you health and all the best in 2021!:-)))
Well you know Terry i have lived here my whole life and you are flat out wrong .it is a very tough city in certain parts however overall I have found most people are far more real and helpful than huge places that I have been to like Toronto or Chicago .you shouldn't necessarily listen to the Eastern based and board media.
@@jackfishcampbell6745 hey man, lucky enough to have found you having been recently active, anyhow, considering a move soon, is winnipeg DT what its portrayed to be or is it actually a safe place to stay? ive heard lots of stuff about gangs robbing people and in some case murdering over there, just a short answer would do :D thanks
Another Sabah Fakhri fan I walk around downtown winnipeg a lot and never had problems. Just don’t get involved in things you shouldn’t and everything is good. But for sure downtown isn’t the best, the worst is actually north of downtown.
No commentary? Much is self explanatory but it would have been helpful. Like the Human Rights Museum that was opened by HM The Queen way back then. Don't care for the design myself.
hey go for a walk up and down main street starting from Logan ave down to Cathedral ave late night on a Friday or Saturday like around 1:30 am or so lets show RU-vid viewers a truer perspctive of the homicide capital of Canada :)
Very race driven city, they prefer to keep it as it always was, not too many liberals here mostly long time traditional conservatives who reject liberalism. Mostly Whites and Asians, a bit hostile towards Blacks.
