If we do this right, America won’t be our neighbour—it’ll be our talent farm.

Hey all y'all refugee professors. Cost of living is still very good in Winnipeg, and the winters are very survivable. And if anything funky happens with the Panama Canal, Winnipeg will be booming again.
the winters are very survivable
sounds very attractive lol selling 1/4 of the year as "survivable"
Haha, you have to manage expectations. And it's more like half the year. Winter lasts from November to April.
Interrogator: "what did you do the night between 15 november and 16 of March?"
Winnipeg has such a cool mix of architecture. It feels like an unplanned mess of different eras when you're going through the financial district.
If I lived in a high cost of living place I'd probably move to Winnipeg.
if anything funky happens with the Panama Canal, Winnipeg will be booming again.
Why? Chicago is the rail hub.
Chicago first, then Winnipeg to get to Churchill for northern shipping. Winnipeg used to be quite an important city until the Panama Canal opened up.
I won a full paid interchange scholarship to the University of Winnipeg, to start classes on the second half of 2020. It was sadly "postponed" for the pandemic, and I could choose to wait until everything came back to normal but had to pause my studies at home, or give it up and continue with my life. I have a little vacuum on my heart, for the time I couldn't live there and every time someone talks about Winnipeg I felt sad 😞
My wife met me because she went to the University of Winnipeg as an exchange student. So yeah, you never know where life will lead you, but she said it felt like home right away in Winnipeg.
And yeah, sorry that you feel sad about what could have been.
