We moved from Bristol to Winnipeg 4 years ago. We have a nicer house in a more pleasant area than we could ever have afforded in Bristol. Winters are much colder of course, but also much sunnier, which lifts the spirits compared with damp, grey British winters. Summers here are both warmer and sunnier. People from other parts of Canada can be as rude as they like about Winnipeg.

Hamilton is awesome for parks, food, and 2nd hand shopping. Ppl just give it a bad reputation bc it's mostly a working class/factory worker city, and bc there are homeless people (like 99% of Canadian cities, not the suburbs though). It's classist. But the city is definitely up and coming. I'm from Oakville, and moved out of the country, but I would have moved to Hamilton in a heartbeat if I stuck around.

Recently there have been more druggies downtown because of fentanyl. Facts are facts. But if you get away from downtown and look at where most Winnipeggers actually live, you'll see The 'Peg is a beautiful place: One great city. For one thing, people can actually afford their own houses. That means most places are owned by their occupants, not by a landlord and not controlled by a 'strata' committee or HOA. People are free to decorate their places any way they like. Go on StreetView and have a look at neighbourhoods like Woolseley where people have turned their entire front yards into flower gardens. You can't do that in Vancouver or Calgary! Then have a look at all the beautiful shade trees lining every street.

Welcome to Winnipeg Karl, we live in the Peg City for most of the same reasons you listed. Great standard of living, and sense of community. Enjoy the fall season! Cheers!!

Great video mate. I’ve enjoyed it from the beginning to the end.

Fantastic that you love Winnipeg ... In addition to friendly people, it has beautifully maintained parks such as Assiniboine Park, Kildonan Park, St. Vital Park. Great golf courses, cross country ski trails. Wonderful arts scene including painters, potters, musicians, and Manitoba Theatre Centre, Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, and so much more...

As a Canadian who loves to make fun of Winnipeg (I'm from Vancouver, we love to make fun of any city that isn't ours), you're REALLY selling me on Winnipeg here! 😂 I'll go back to my overpriced cardboard box now 😅

[@Confuciussaysthink]

It's honestly great living here!!!! I have lived and visited other places and I'm always antsy to get home because other cities are fine to visit but id rather saw my leg off than live in Calgary again or in Toronto

Try Victoria.

@@jonbettson7435 way too big for me

[@jonbettson7435]

@@Confuciussaysthink We’re talking about Winnipeg. Vic is much smaller.

[@jonbettson7435]

You said “living here” meaning Winnipeg

When you said in your last video that Winnipeg was your new hometown, I just knew that you’d moved for Love! ❤️❤ Welcome to Canada!! 🇨🇦

[@karlwatsondocs]

Thanks 😊

[@melmotoch1593]

Love that you love it. It comes across different when a non local echoes the same sentiment. Enjoy your stay. 😊

Thank you SO much for speaking so well of my city. My great, great grandparents and great grandparents came here from Yorkshire and Devonshire around 1879, and we have BUILT our communities over years. It is all getting more developed, more people are coming, and we are expanding! You also don't have to park your cars on hills, like in Vancouver, where they can roll down and crash in the winter! A very warm welcome to you! Thank you for loving one of our people! If I ever see you two around, I'll definitely say hello! ☺️

Nice to see someone who has his priorities straight. I used to tell my daughters if a man wouldn’t crawl over broken glass to get to you forget him. Moving from London to Winnipeg also qualifies.
