- The North End is a large area located to the north and northwest of Downtown Winnipeg. It is bordered by the Red River on the east, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) mainline on the south, the City of Winnipeg boundary (Brookside Boulevard) on the west and Jefferson Avenue, Keewatin Street, Carruthers Avenue.
Winnipeg is an odd city . I left in 88 due to really shitty jobs and notoriously bad business owners .. went to alberta for 20 yrs . Winnipeg has a feel that other citys dont have . The old buildings , the mom and pop diners , the talented artists and musicians . Its finally a stable work environment , but full of tons of shady employers . Its a love hate thing .. under funded mental health care makes u feel like your in an open air asylum downtown in the summer , lots of aboriginal social problems ( shaddap its true and everyone knows it) . Can be randomly dangerous , . But its a really unique place and ill always have a special place in my heart for this weird , quirky city
“My Winnipeg” ...LoL I feel the same.
Same with me, and I moved to US almost 39 years ago
Why did they have to tear down Eaton's, old airport, and close the Bay
Why did they build that abomination Canadian museum of (God-given, not mankind given) human rights?
@@gedjad It's slowly become dystopian. C. Kelekis closed down. The Extra Foods on Main closed. Lots of community centres closed. The transit system has gotten more dangerous and violent, despite extra security measures. While the Convention Centre got an expansion, the Manitoba Museum got major upgrades, and Polo Park has become an exclusive mall for the rich because there is nary an affordable store there.
Wow, you drove down some older residential streets in downtown Winnipeg. And -15? That's a nice day. Us winnipegers can handle the cold pretty well.
It's been awhile since I've driven those streets but I remember it all very well. Thanks for the video!
Every city has its rough areas. Drive off the beaten path in Washington DC and you’ll see a whole lot of poverty and run down areas.
True but people are to stupid to realize that
i'm not sure this guy knows where the north end is. he was in it for about 4 of 14 minutes, but he also explored downtown, the west end and st. james. if the film had been two minutes longer, he would have been in tuxedo.
i saw very little poverty. maybe one block. -15 is very warm for january. bit windy that day though. maybe this guy needs a life, somewhere else.
Very good video! Thank you!
This was fuun!! Love real time vids!!
I know it looks shitty in the winter but it’s alive and vibrant in the summer. Also lots of good spots to check. I do delivery as my part time and I’ve been to every streets of Winnipeg and it never fails to amaze me. Sure there are shitty areas but for me Winnipeg is beautiful.
STFU the north end is a fucking shit HOLE LMFAO! nice try bud! north end has it nice ppl like every bad area! but this place is a fucking shit hole! Shady ppl! Schemers!, Wanna be gangs, DRUGS, and when Convicted Child and sexual abusers are released guess where they settle in! you guessed IT! THE NORTH END IS NOTHING CLOSE TO BEAUTIFUL!! and trust me ive lived my fare share in the northend!!! i was happy i was gone! nothing we owned was getting stolen! our vehicles we not getting broke into every week! random ppl walking in and through our yard like its a park? fuck that noise bud!
Nah bro, its 2022 and there is still nothing to amaze in the streets of wpg, the downtown looks like a ghost town. When you see a few, are drug junkies with poorest lifestyles nobody wanna approach to.
In the summer its vibrant but dangerous especially north end and downtown. Wpg is one of the most depressing cities in the north America. Heard it used to be better 30-40 years ago.
A proper Warts & All tour a nice change from Downtown tourist sights and selfie tour guides
It's nice to see Polo park again Left Winnipeg 14 years ago thank you
My dads 2 bay shop was just on the right after getting off the Arlington bridge.
he died spoiled brat .
6:47 rental where I lived in late 2016-early 2017, McGregor St. and Redwood Ave.
Calgary and Edmonton look pretty much the same in winter.
get out of your car and experience winnipeg instead of judging from behind your wheel. i know winnipeg looks shitty in the winter, but it looks much better in summer!
its still shitty lol
@rhys j Shiitiest drivers are in Quebec
Yea just dont get out on the shady areas!
@Jason Gander well, you not being here. That would be a good thing.
There isn't one.
By the title I'd say you're not a Winnipegger at all, but by the driving you'll fit right in.
I swear Arlington is only supposed to be one lane either way during winters.
north end wpg has a rich diverse history to many of us ,and feel proud to live here ! Heve you ever notice nice things ? like the Elm Tree canopy in The summer ? were lucky to have A part of our historical " Core" area left ! Plus he drove past the BEST Fries & gravy in Canada ! Dis My north end ! half the video was in "Central" anyway!
North End is where I grew up. Accross Robins Donuts is where my apartment was! Good old times❤ Its not the same the way it was! Its more of...WTF happened to my North End?
Yeah don't mix "Central" ( crazy crackhead and meth-heads) who will jump you for ten dollars, for the "Northend" (native drunks) the domestic violence murder capital of Canada. Two very different neighborhoods!
I'm from wpg.but up north. Thanks for the ride.
Dont bash my city man! It's not all bad. Good ppl! Grew up on keenley st
Hey you should post evening ones on Simcoe. The pimps in peg put sandwich boards right on portage ave, that place is so rank
so little commentary throughout the video. This man only knows what he sees in front of his nose. He knows nothing of the early beginnings and the peoples that made it thrive. Doesn't know of the famous people that were born and went on to become successful in they're lives. He doesn't know about the history of the bridges. The North End is a beautiful area because of all the trees. He drove past or close to land marks that are of interest, perhaps he isnt aware of them. There is poverty across the world and many cold winter cities. This long drawn out video really doesn't show Winnipeg to a tourist
Those are things of past. He is showing what you see today. Every place has a past glory but wpg its over.
Looks like Detroit!!
thunderbird66613 it is the Detroit of Canada lol, ghetto as fuck, and lots of gangs in it, also lots of local rap artists in Winnipeg
how? I don't see that much rundown abandoned houses and factories to be called Detroit this must be the good area in Winnipeg then
What you see in this video is only about one-quarter of the city. This is where nearly all of the murders in the city are committed.
You have affluent areas like Whyte Ridge, Island Lakes, Eaglemere, and Algonquin Estates which the Toronto-based media never tell anyone about.
This guy doesnt know where any of the real projects are. Like jigsaw projects. Or where murder mansion was. didnt take any turn off higgans. He went downtown whevere all the businesses are (ppl in suits walk around there safe) and on portage where its safe unless you mean mugging trying to look for trouble. This guy doesnt know any hoods in wpg. Or even film main street around the pawn shops during the afternoon where everyone is posted selling dope. I bet he wouldnt dare to walk into the Norrthern lol This vid makes wpg look calm. Drive around 1 am or 2 am in the westend and youll find zombies that wave at ya or try getting in your car even if you yell no lol
good thing you're here to guide us all . . spoiled brat .
True Jinn He should go to Jigtown late at night.
On government paydays that whole area is full of fucked up people especially the next morning. There were times when my dad was away with the car and my mom wouldn’t let me to go to school because of all the shit going on in the area. I hated it so much that now I never go north of Portage unless it’s st James stores or the airport. I actually got right out of the city but still go there lots and avoid the north end like the plague.
Who lives in Winnipeg
On Manitoba bruh
And on Redwood
Downtown
Hey dude, how is Winnipeg nowadays? Job prospects?
it's not bad, steady as always, no ups or downs.
Hm, I visited this city in 2016, and I will start at Red River College on august this year! My wife will try to land a job on august also in Winnipeg, I dont know if is a good season for jobs !
Maybe start looking for a job begging of March, she'll find one. Good luck!
Bruno Illipronti crazy XD I live there XD but I love it
if you're completely unskilled and a spoiled brat . . . good to go .
Looks a lot like South Chicago in some ways. The buildings and houses
Awesome video
I love my north end.... if you are scarred to visit then don't. We smell fear!
Winnipeg is just the Tip of the Iceberg. Take Number 10 Highway North and after you pass Mafeking, you get into the Snow Zone. After The Pas the Weather gets cold and when you get to the Thompson area you can get -60 plus 30 MPH winds. If you’re not prepared,it can be a dangerous areas to travel. Once you leave Number 10 Highway after Midnight you might be lucky to meet a half dozen vehicles before you get to Thompson.
Winnipeg is a pretty city and perfect for new comers to North America. If you like hot and sunny weather, this is the Canadian city for you. Ps winter is a tad bit chilly!
I remember great perogies and borscht in N Winnipeg...
What are you driving? Rolls Royce rich man?
lol the Peter Nygard pic at 1:07. That is so 4 years ago in this city. All thankfully gone now.
...and at 2:38!
...and at 8:58 ! If someone was new to this town, I'm sure they'd assume this guy was the mayor or something lol
you should actally get out of your car in the north end and experience the people maybe talk to them instead of judging from behind your steering wheel. then maybe you would see that the north end isnt just "freezing and poverty" but families, children, small businesses and working class joes.
he should not do that . . . . . . .
Great advice for someone you wish to be victimized in some manner
why so he can get robbed and car jacked
Try living there and being afraid to go outside of your house when it’s dark or not being able to walk to school on the morning after child tax and welfare day because everyone’s still out drunk and high on the streets until their money runs out. Worst time of my life there, I’m just glad I didn’t get sucked into the lifestyle like lots of my friends did and got the hell out of there.
That's a joke right?
Didn't get into the north end till the 3 min mark
it always looks empty and desolate in winter time, lonely and sad. 😢.
That's why people always grew weed in basement, tropical conditions helped pass time of long winter😂
Hell!
This person does not know Winnipeg. What a stupid title..north end..freezing & poverty. This video covered different parts of this city...I SAW NO POVERTY,,,DID YOU???
It covers the Down Town and the north end, and YES I saw ONLY POVERTY, I saw a part of Winnipeg that is ugly, dark, poor, not taken care of and most of it NOT SAFE !!! Any were along my drive you can get mugged or stabbed at any hour of the day. THIS IS WINNIPEG unfortunately - Like it or not.
No offense to anybody.
PepperTheJackTV Hahahah I think you’re off your medication buddy. You don’t know shit.
I apologize if I offended you, fell free to share your opinion about this part of Winnipeg.
I've lived in this city my whole life. I grew up in Elmwood and N.K. I've worked all over the city and in these areas for the last 15 years. I agree, it is the poor part of the city with the majority of poverty concentrated in the north end. But... You could be mugged or stabbed anywhere. The likely hood of you randomly walking down a street in the north end and winding up dead is very unlikely... Worst case somebody might ask you for a smoke or some money. I'm speaking from experience and not the stereotype!
ehss192 well said.
There's more to winnipeg than freezing and poverty so don't slam my city with negative remarks
💯 facts
Agreed! people should stop picking on the best city in the world and stop picking on the Indigenous peoples.
I lived in Winnipeg for 2 years, yes it’s a shithole
Whoever did this clip is absolutely 💯 right.
Really, I was freezing and in poverty, now I am a CEO in Montreal and run a muilt-billion dollar high technology firm. You too can become something by getting on a WestJet flight in any direction!
6:36 I live around here
Don't forget to mention the poverty at Polo Park.
5:16 across the street from my old spot lol
Not too sure what the point of this video was. You obviously know nothing about the north end.
Shit could be better
Seen my ex's family's house, damn, they really let themselves go over the years. XD
Really lame. You showed Polo Park mall. It’s in the top 5 Cadillac Fairview highest grossing malls in the country.
Seen my house lol
Where is your home
Damn that's the hood! Lucky you didn't get carjacked!
DallasInLA I wish,at least the video would have been interesting.
Zzzzzz......
Is winnipeg good to make move from niagara falls
i wouldn't move to Winnipeg from niagara falls, but if you're really considering it - come down and visit it for 2-3 days. good luck
Thanks a million which city do you think will be best to make move if i'm moving out of ontario.
I would look at Calgary or Edmonton
Thanks a million really appreciate.
Try calgary Montreal or if ur rich vancouver. Edmonton is just like winnipeg
Meh I dont know man I had to move to Winnipeg for my reason it's not bad like its alright, yeah but downtown is really bad like ppl are on drugs there always, crazy ppl there.
everyone i've spoken to from winnipeg says that the violence and poverty is just unbearable
but this looks cleaner and better than any low-income neighborhood in any major city i've been to
it's just weird. when people talk about moving to my city, I don't immediately say "this area is dangerous, we have gangs, sexual assault rates are high". like yeah, that's just a given in most cities anywhere, tbh.
They're probably exaggerating. Either that or I've gotten off lucky. The most I've had is a few kids attempting to rob me and smashing my window. I moved to a nicer area though.
That's true parasitic society keeps people down. Pays their bills.
Its looks cleaner because of little population on streets. If it was that of a paradise, where are all the people ?
@@antiquefuturistic it's winter
Live in winigpeg
You haven't gone to Bogotá. You will shit inside your car.
What was the point of this? Lol
THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU PROMOTE DIVERSITY AND MELTING POTS!....SAD BUT TRUE,STATS BACK IT UP!
How are the first people of this country part of your feared melting pot? Why don’t you go back to where you came from!
Lived North All my life ...ya we are cold .....Poverty he does not know ....REPUTABLE Businesses and Great People live North Why judge it the way the person presents it .......if your so afraid of it by calling it poor area why drive through to slam it ....
my street has new pavement ......and has parks ....and is quiet....but thats not highlighted ...and he speaks of the roads well drive down Pembina Hwy 1 year ago ....it had more craters than the moon so GUY GROW UP
So if you have old areas in a city where the people have limited means but try to have housing the best they can then right away thats POVERY ???? HMMM??? That is a attitude not a fact .....what are you comparing it too a WAR TORN area where there are people that have no running water as a example because there are areas in the world like that ....the NORTH END is not one of them
As you may see my name is Slavic ....the North was built on the backs of the SLAVS ....where do you come from ??? If your independently wealthy good for you but wealth is not defined entirely by money .....that is the problem in the world today ......all vanity does is make you think your better than someone else
@@dgorenc66 I go through Elmwood from time to time. The streets there are in serious need of repair.
That dude under me is correct
PAWN SHOP EVERY OTHER BLOCK LOL
What exactly is the point your trying to make here? Even 5 years later I see this and I'm like what? Your not from here so...whats your point?
No point; thanks for watching!
Left in '94...interesting, can't say I miss it tho!
I know what you're saying! Good for you - you mange to "escape"
It's only gotten worse
Ya I figured...liking BC overall.
Are any cities anymore? Scenery & weather is MUCH better-there is a reason Wpg is cheap.
Hey Pepper where did you escape from ?? Like other cities do not have problems ...I travel for my work I have seen real Poverty ......if your so concerned about the area take some money out of your wallet and start a revitalization project in the NORTH END otherwise your really not helping but causing rifts in people ....but I am not surprised ....man has always attacked what he has no knowledge of ......
Should of drove down selkirk lol
How's Ritchie?
I love my city, both good and bad.
Rapes in bus shacks as people shuffle by loving this crap hole. Wake up Winnipeg going for another murder record. Fuck the Bombers. Jets should leave too.
@Stephen Leszkovics You’re an idiot..name a city that doesn’t have crime…I’ll wait…but the answer is none..keep your old bitterness to yourself, the way you look it looks like it’s aging you rapidly.
Babies. Winnipeg is disgusting and vile.
@@stephenleszkovicsshaman8004 kind of like your moustache 😂😂
@@gw593 of course . Jealous of a man sugartits?
Old pictures
Quite bearable with if you are dressed in required layers not windy always like Toranto 😢
The homeless shelter is located on Princess street, which wasn't shown, here is the www.siloam.ca/how-we-help/
Looks like the outskirts of every North American city. I live in Montreal, which is a much prettier, livelier and more interesting place than Winnipeg, yet once you go far enough from the city centre and the nicer neighborhoods like Outremon it looks exactly like this if not worse
Looks like a Canadian Detroit... I left in the 70*s. It was vibrant then. Now....not even worth a "meh"
neither are you . . spoiled brat .
I like Winnipeg but man the areas in this video suck
"Freezing and poverty" 😭 leave Winnipeg alone man, we know how cold it is. Poverty my ass. If you're looking at someone living in a house, they can clearly afford it. I will say that. I also do agree the roads are shit but I mean the "poverty" stricken people aren't to blame.
i dont understand the title of this vid. i didt see any poverty, hardley saw anyone on the streets. i was expecting to see many homeless people, low end hookers, and people shooting up drugs and panhandling....where is the poverty
Every other neighborhood In winnipeg is boring lol. us northenders know that it's not like any another place.
I visited this ugly city last year. It is the most ugly city I have ever seen. I felt I was in a developing country while I was visiting Manitoba. I was planing to stay for a week, but changed my mind and left after two days. Poor infrastructure and people are terrible. Manitoba should not be called as a Canadian Province. I feel sorry for people who live in this ugly province.
J small i live in Toronto. I am sorry if I was a little bit aggressive in my comment but I didn’t like Winnipeg
J small lol what. Highest crime rate in canada my dude
Liam Sherlow it’s not even high crime rate anymore, Toronto is starting to look like one
EC3 to be fair it is concentrated in the north end
Mohamed Ahmed Toronto is starting to act up, so you shouldn’t be the one talking.
have you ever had to pass a driver's test ?
GET OUT AND FREEZE YO ASS RIGHT OFF LOL
nothing a nuclear warhead couldn't solve
😁 that's a bit kinda extreme, don't you think?
What an ugly city... what’s with all the red lights?
Jesus Christ nothing worse than a self-loathing Winnipegger
POT HOLE ROLLER COASTER ROADS IN SHITTY OF WINTER PEGG LOL
Welcome to Shitty-peg...........
Lmao potato license plate
Very poor video indeed, this town has a lot to offer... even in winter Festival du voyageur etc.
MOST VIOLENT CITY IN CANADA
What a waste of minutes of my life thank goodness I never watched any more.
😄 “waste of minutes” still bothered to write a second comment 😄
Chill out, man!
Winnipeg is a great city
CRAZYOLA " POTATO " AT YORK LOL
Looks like Garbage, I would not and never raise a family in that city. Too violent, too many gangs, no jobs and nothing going for it for being the ONLY city in the province, Yeaah no thank Youu lmao !
RaisedxFist it’s not an amazing city, no. But remember, he drove mostly through the slums. I’ve lived here for 20 years. Never seen a gang. Never been robbed or beat up or anything. Never been without a job for more than 2 months. And Manitoba actually has 10 cities. But I’m sure you meant major cities.
EVERYONES ON WELFARE IN LOSERPEG WELFAREVILLE PEGG
