some interesting photos of Winnipeg in the early days. I hope you enjoy the photos of Winnipeg history. most of the dates are accurate. many of the photos have been change from black and white to colour. not all photos can be processed with an AI. properly.
several photos are from Saint Boniface. And some are from the outer areas of Winnipeg. I will be making more of these videos. Because I am a history lover. And I enjoy my hometown of Winnipeg. it's sad that people don't have the same hobby as me.
it is too bad I can't invent a time machine. And I would go back and see how it really look like back then.
all music is from the KZbin Library.

That was beautiful, almost brought a tear to my eye. I saw photos when they were excavating for the Eaton's building. They used horse drawn plows with blades to remove the earth! Good God, how hard these men worked, we really have no clue. And that's just the Eaton's building, what about the roads, bridges, railroads, dams etc. Does anyone alive today in the western world really know what hard work is?

My mother often told me how the old city hall looked like a fairytale gingerbread house...now I know what she meant. Too bad about downtown, but you could see it slowly die out, especially once Eatons went and then when Hudson's Bay went , that was the end. I remember going Christmas shopping downtown in 1975-1980 and the sidewalks were just jammed with people going the few blocks between Eatons and the Bay. Sad to see it now, nobody downtown except the criminal gangs and the few people that have to change buses on their way to somewhere else.

I totally agree on the state of Winnipeg disaster zone of Main Street and Portage Avenue money isn't the issue it's the people who are there they've destroyed something so valuable to Winnipeg that I can no longer be repaired it's starting to look like Detroit Michigan or Chicago two cities in America that look like a disaster Zone it would take more influences of a different type of people to come into the downtown core and change it up giving these buildings to a certain group does not help anything Johannesburg in South Africa did the same thing violence in crime went up 300% giving things away for free is not the answer

Question, am I one noticed trams in the city? Where its for now? There are many trams I see on the photos 50 years ago, but no one for today. More over, no any photos contains a winter, I don't belive that photograffers were taking photos only in summer. Who knows?

[@bearlamb5026]

hello my friend. most of the trams are gone they all left in the 1950s. The city still misses them. As the winters are very cold. Here in our city of Winnipeg. You can almost compare it to Siberia Russia. Lots of the cameras did not work in the winter time. So there is very few photos from the winter. I will make sure to find some winter photos for you. But they would be after the year 1910...Привет, мой друг. большинство трамваев ушли, все они уехали в 1950-х годах. Город по-прежнему скучает по ним. Так как зимы очень холодные. Здесь, в нашем городе Виннипег. Вы можете почти сравнить его с Сибирью России. Многие камеры зимой не работали. Так что фотографий с зимы очень мало. Я обязательно найду для вас зимние фотографии. Но они будут после 1910 года.

Car manufacturers made an offer to the CoW to take out all the tram lines for free, and the City accepted their offer.

Winnipeg is an example of where some people adapted or forced themselves to adapt to an extremely harsh climate and environment where most people wouldn't have. Not sure if that's something to admire or something to ridicule

Originally from Winnipeg I had to see a doctor from Vancouver who treated my eye cancer. She remarked " Boy those Prairie folks are sure hardy!" To which I replied "I'm not sure if we're hardy...or foolhardy!"
