I grew up in Lanigan, Saskatchewan, for the first 13 years of my life. Then we moved to Saskatoon. I see you have a Saskatoon video. I would love to see a Lanigan video! Growing up in Lanigan, we would go Christmas shopping in Saskatoon. But, sometimes, we would go to Humboldt to shop. Humboldt was AMAZING to me when I was a kid because they had a traffic light! 🤣😂😅

One of the reasons that towns like Melfort, Tisdale and Nipawin, etc are still successful and livable is that it has not had its retail soul ripped out of it by Walmart.

I despise Walmart, and the Conservative governments that made it possible for American corporations to do just as you said, and rip out the heart and soul of the entire Canadian economy. It was done by elimating laws and regulations, which created a free for all for the American corporations. The process that occurred is most immediately visible in the retail sector, which has been completely decimated, first by Walmart, and then by many others. And now they are packing up in places, leaving a void that was created by the massive number of bankruptcies, big and small, and now can't be filled by any Canadian companies. SO MANY thousands of companies, big and small, went broke! Because FIRA (the Foreign Investment Review Agency) having been eliminated, it no longer controlled who can come into Canada. The Combines Investigation Act was also chopped, so nothing prevents monopolies now. And the laws against predatory pricing were also eliminated. In a 1, 2, 3 blow, the American conglomerates were allowed to come in, with their predatory pricing, and they wiped out literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CANADIAN JOBS! And the pensions that the low paid retail workers had planned to rely on were also wiped out, mostly stolen by the bankrupt companies, like Sears, Hudson's Bay, Eatons, Woolworths, Woolco, Zellers, Gambles, and so many more I can't remember them all, literally thousands of stores and chains all went broke over a 10 year period, including all pharmacies in existence at that time. The American businesses which took over the country are a LOT MORE than just retail stores. Among other things, nearly the entire oil industry has been sold off to Americans, and Alberta gave them massive incentives to take it, like 100% tax breaks, interest free loans, loan guarantees, gifted land, relaxed regulations, etc. Huge areas of contaminated land are just sitting here, with no remediation done at all, while companies took the money and ran. To cover their butts, the Separatists of the Alberta govt are STILL blaming Trudeau's dad for a contract that their own beloved Peter Lougheed signed FIFTY YEARS AGO! Never mind the Saudis and their market manipulations, they think they need to "own the libs", and the Liberals are an easy target because they are in power. They are arrogant and incompetent in many ways. But the Conservatives are intentionally blind, and they are hiding their own blame, for conspiring with the federal Tories in selling nearly Canada's entire economy off to the US. The American companies, which are often disguised as being Canadian, even with the word Canada or Canadian in their name, do provide some very poor quality jobs, but all of the profits go south. Blind, right wing, "free market" ideology, with no regard what-so-ever for how things work in the real world, has absolutely destroyed our retail and many other sectors. What if the US orders all their companies out at once? Or if even just one company, like Wal-Mart, were to close all their stores? It would be catastrophic. Perhaps an opportunity in the long run, but at what cost? The revamping of the shopping centres and real estate to conform to the American style of retail has cost many millions, but created soul-less landscapes that only those who are very healthy and wealthy can navigate successfully, with a car. Bus stops are miles apart, and VERY far from the stores. Streets have become so depressingly identical, with all the American companies on them, that it's so easy to get lost. Canada as we knew it is gone. I could go on for an hour about this, but I have to go somewhere, so I'll end my rant here, but I am in complete agreement with you!

Melfort has gradually gone down hill for 35 years. The stores are empty no matter what day it is. The mall is empty, the new COOP grocery store is half the size of the old one. A lot of businesses would close except there are no buyers. Tisdale & Nipawin are better off.

Pick up a Regina newspaper and all you read is about football all summer and curling all winter. Serious boring. In Regina, every failed grocery store gets turned into a Bingo Parlor.

Well, Melfort is not a bad small city. I've not stopped there in a long time, but I really haven't gone north of Highway 16 in Saskatchewan for years. As someone who has and still does live in many smaller communities on the Canadian prairies, I was pretty impressed with what you showed us. It's six times bigger than where I live now, and still has many of the amenities that make a community work. Centralization has gutted so many of the once booming regional hubs, but Melfort looks like it's doing better than most. Could I live there sure, but would I want to live there is more of a maybe. I never want to live in a bigger city but want to closer to one, under a hours drive for the amenities that you get if your population is around a million. Still I enjoyed this tour of a fair sized Saskatchewan city.

It's truly amazing to see places in Canada which are peaceful and afforable! But anything below -10°C in winters is a no go for me lol 😅 Personally, I prefer small towns with close access to major metropolis for travel/leisure

There are plenty of similar Prairie towns around Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg. You just have to know what you’re looking for. Edit: Forgot about the -10C requirement. You might want to try a smaller town in the Texas Triangle. Especially one close to SA, Houston or Austin.

@AlinaMcleod
@AlinaMcleod Жыл бұрын
Food selection isn’t as varied as big cities of course and food prices are a bit more expensive on a whole because there’s less competition. But the low real estate more than makes up for it.

Looks like a nice, clean prosperous place to raise a family. Some city people look down on places like Melfort but it depends on what one is looking for. Our big cities in Canada have become crime ridden, drug infested sh*t holes. Compare that with places like this where community truly means something and there is a real sense of belonging.

My aunt lived in Melfort twice. She taught there many, many years ago (in the sixties?). Years later, after she retired, she married a widower from Melfort and moved back. She is buried there in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. I visited her there in 1982 and 1984.

I couldn't stop smiling while I watched this video. I was born there. Yes in Melfort Saskatchewan. I was raised on a family farm, closer to Gronlid. I have not seen Melfort since I was 14years old. The farm was sold and we all moved to southern Manitoba. I live in Kemptville Ontario (near Ottawa) and it's a long story as to how I got here from Saskatchewan and Manitoba. I miss the prairies and I will take a very long road trip one day to see feel and breathe it again. I am now 67 years old. BETTER DO IT SOON! lol.
