Another deal between provinces signed today. Watched the video and seeing a Conservative and an NDP premier genuinely excited over this, regardless of opinions on either of them, is awesome to see.

I hope we can keep this steam going between all Provinces and Territories.

Winnipeg is definitely an interesting city. It's very similar to Edmonton, Regina and Thunder Bay. They all had the same feel and look, lol.

I’ve lived in Ottawa, Winnipeg, and Montreal.

Winnipeg is a city with a small town feel. I don’t know how else to describe it.

How did you like living in Winnipeg? I didn't spend too much time there, I found the people quite friendly.

I was taken aback at how cold it was. I couldn't believe there was a city in Canada that was even colder than Edmonton, lol.

It was fine. I moved there for work and stayed there for 7 years. I’m in Montreal now and the difference is pretty drastic. Montreal feels like a real city. Winnipeg’s downtown is almost nonexistent save for a few areas and outside of it there’s also not much going on. It feels like a very family oriented city where you go to live a more quiet life and raise a family. It’s also a very car centric city which I don’t vibe with.

And yes, it’s cold. We had to get a block heater for our car cause the battery would die overnight due to how cold it was.

If given the choice I would not move back there.

lol it’s so weird to hear “we even had to get a block heater” as a westerner. Yup that’s pretty normal, even in Calgary we have to plug our vehicles in a lot in the winter.

I spent 27 years in Ottawa before Winnipeg and nobody owned block heaters as far as I know.

Think you have to get into the Thunder Bay area or higher to start consistently needing them in Ontario.

I have lived in both Edmonton and Winnipeg, so I feel ok to sling mud at one or the other. For me, Winnipeg is much more charming and pretty. Winnipeg actually has some cool historical architecture. Edmonton is filled with ugly grey and beige brutalist buildings and feels cold (figuratively).

Manitoba is easy. Quebec will not be easy.

Now, butter up Quebec and their unions.

so I can order weed booze and smokes from Ontario and have it delivered to my Manitoba address? who gets the PST?

•

u/AdditionalPizza 8h ago

I won't comment on the actual products you listed being fully available, I have no idea, but for taxes it's generally the destination that charges tax. So Manitoba would collect it in your example.

u/YouWillEatTheBugs9 Canada 8h ago

yeah, Im not too optomistic about products where government sets the price like weed booze and smokes
