When we first moved to Canada from the UK we lived in Ignace for 4 years then moved to Marathon for 18 years (both mining related} ,Thunderbay was our was our main city for everything except groceries , both of them 3 hours away on highway 17. That was in the early 80s it was a nice city , We moved to Barrie in 2003 and during a cross country trip in 2019 we stopped off in TB and did not recognise the place , my wife refused to go into one of the shopping malls because of the drunks laying outside. So sad.
Sounds like county fair, that place is sad indeed
the city council did it to themselves, they have been so corrupt for so long and no one challenges them
@@lord9279^sadly to true even a year later ..
@@HankPropaneHill seems that way everywhere in the city now man like jebus
Thanks for the video, Daniele, Very interesting. I was born in Fort William (in the 50's, not yet Thunder Bay) and I lived there throughout the 60's. It was a great place to live, beautiful downtown area and many friendly people. After my family moved away from Thunder Bay in '67, and moved to Sarnia, Ontario...I continued to visit my relatives every decade. Last time was the summer of '92. Immediately, I noticed many changes, like the downtown area was gone, replaced by a mall. My old neighborhood was not the same as well. Still, I had a great time while I was there. Now, about 7 years ago, a friend of mine travelled to TB for a job conference. When he got back home, he said, he would never go there for a vacation. He was shocked at some of the areas in the city. In other words, he knew not to go out at night. Hw asked me, you actually lived in that city? I informed him that TB was a great place to live, for me and my family. I have nothing but great memories of the city. Sure, it was a different time and era, when times were good, people were working, you trusted your your neighbors, even left your house unlocked at night. Everyone looked out for everybody. (Sounds almost like some sort of fantasy.) Important note: practically every city in Ontario has had it rough with a bad economy, high crime rate, racism, etc., but, we as Canadians will continue to endure, and face our problems, over the years. In ending (I know, I'm a bit long in the tooth) Let me say that I would like to return to TB for a visit one last time, to see friends and family and take in the nice memories I have of the time I lived there. Of course, before I do that, I will have to watch your next video, about the top 10 good things about the city and where I should go and not go. Take care, happy reality and continued success.
Thanks so much Rick for sharing! I love living in Thunder Bay- I am curious- did you have a chance to watch my 10 good things about the city? I appreciate your comment and thanks for the watch!
Great video Danielle. I've lived in Toronto for close to 50 years and have travelled extensively throughout southern Ontario. The farthest north I've been to is North Bay. I look forward to visiting Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Timmins and Sault Ste Marie in the near future.
Thanks for sharing! You will love it- make sure that you leave yourself enough time to really get out and explore- there are many many beautiful areas throughout NW ON that you will miss if you don't spend some time.
Thunder Bay is cold in the winter time but if you can get through that the summers are really beautiful and so many places to visit.
You're great on camera Danielle! this is an awesome video to have on youtube; thanks for making it!
Thunder bay has a lot of problems, the ones she listed of course and others. Another thing is that there isn’t a lot of recreation, especially for young people. A theatre, a mall, the canada games complex pool/exercise facility, old fort william, the CLE in august and out door activities. But if you’re not really into outdoor stuff you’ll run out of things to do pretty quick.
If you were run out of things to do you could just go to the wacky's arcade
For the haters out there..shes actually being really nice lol..theres lots more
Awe thanks Graham- I actually do love Thunder Bay and couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
No kidding..
I was born and raised in thunderbay I would never move back dont mind visiting family here but that’s it
Good.
I still live here and i don’t blame you
Wow, visited there twice and was thinking about moving there, thanks for the warning.
Poverty, murders, massive addiction rates, everything not nailed down stolen. Living there 20 years ago is a far cry from where it is today. Shattered city. Province put over a billion into the local prison and 3 million into addiction services, pretty much tells the whole tale right there. If you are thinking of moving here...rethink your move. Also never trust real estate agents!
Thanks for the honesty 😊
Danielle, the video was really helpful. I appreciate your effort.
I'm glad that you found it helpful!
Thunder Bay is a beautiful small city with the Lake Superior at the horizon, man I really wished to move here but it seems apartments prices are expensive af!?
And also Thunder Bay’s crime rate is worse than Winnipeg, that is saying a lot since Winnipeg is considered as Canada’s most dangerous ‘major’ city
Come for the late spring to early fall. It's large enough to provide interesting things to see and do, but not a wide variety and not for long. There are no major urban areas less than 4-6 hours drive away. Thunder Bay is isolated in that regard, even more so for the long winters. Young people leave Thunder Bay. The job market can be difficult. As a northwestern hub for medical care, you will see all manner of physical, mental, and economic problems flow into Thunder Bay frequently, often temporarily, but steadily accumulating more permanent problems.
It's a quiet place to grow up as a kid, have kids, or retire. For anyone seeking something more worldly, invigorating, artistic, or modern... Thunder Bay is likely going to be lacking.
Uhhmm.. pretty good description of 🇨🇦as a whole.. opinion
I love the Winters here I am a Man of the north a man of Great strength 💪
Hey ZZ- I used to be a Woman of Great Strength but lately I find the winters are wearing on me:/. LOL. Thanks for the watch- I hope you enjoyed the video. Our winters truly are great for all the outdoor activities.
Frozen hell most of the time and needles everywhere,, glad you like it..
Thanks for the information
I already live here, was born here, now here I am, still young
I love trains btw, any wisdom if you seen any trains in thunderbay? Except for value village, and I seen wooden railway thomas and friends toys at Walmart, I'm waiting next month for edward and I just got thomas yesterday, no flex just wanna know if you seen any
Like many went out west in 2000,roads terrible here then,moved back 2023,roads even worse ,still an attractive area for outdoor enthusiasts,they need to see Oakland,CA what homeless,and drug issues,can escalate to,as well as a damper on any city progress for its future concerns
Tks for your sincerity
She makes it sound nice, lmao. I'm trying to find a video that explains the kind of shit I grew up hearing about, so my friends can see proof of what I'm saying 😂
I was born and raised in Thunder Bay. I moved from there 40 years ago and would never move back.
Really? I'm sorry to hear that! I love Thunder Bay- I guess it depends strongly on what you enjoy doing.
@@DanielleWilsonRealEstate Hi ma’am
I’m looking for a job i ln thunder bay can i get some help or some informations please.
Good. We don't want you.
I got a bit out of town 16 years ago and hate even gong in now..th-cam.com/video/MP-bELtNjIU/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUPdGh1bmRlciBiYXkgY2xl
Patti Hyjinx removed from office would be a great start !! 😂
Very nice
I used to live in Orillia alot of these negatives are the same as there
Don't know much about Thunder Bay, I've just seen it on maps. I'm thinking of moving to Canada because of global warming. It's kinda disappointing though, cause the perception of Canada is of honest hardworking people, wholesome and law abiding. Homelessness, crime, drug addiction etc. are not what people associate with CA.
you just found out your moving to Thunder Bay??
SORRY TO HEAR
@@jackdotblue watch what they suggested .. The Shitty of T-Bay..... wild videos of so many crack out ppl .. recent videos to 2 years plus..

What’s is yalls least favourite thing about Thunder Bay ?
What about indigenous murders?
$3.8 million investment in ensuring every addict in the region ends up on the street in Thunder Bay. We're not investing in the future, we're flushing it 1 needle at a time.
Agreed. Throwing money at a problem does not help. Stop tolerating it, enforce laws.

th-cam.com/video/lGjelO2iHC0/w-d-xo.html
This lady sounds American
discuss the rampant racism agisnt indiginous-looking residents in the city- national racism hotspot!!!!!!!!!!
How dare you!!
🤔🤔😬😬
When deppression didn't get left behind in the fatherland
Instead of developing a stand-alone video on reasons why people may not want to move to Thunder Bay it would have been more beneficial to take your Top 5 Reasons to Move to Thunder Bay and combine some
of the disadvantages into that video.
For example; while winters can be long, cold, and snowy, there are numerous ways to enjoy it,
including world class ski hills, a winter carnival,
and ice skating at the waterfront.
When the warmer months arrive, we don't
take it for granted, and we are fortunate to
reside in a city surrounded by a terrain that offers countless chances for activities
such as hiking, canoeing, and fishing (just remember to
pack your bug repellent.)
While I appreciate your honesty and efforts to inform others of the potential downfalls of moving to Thunder Bay, I feel like you missed an opportunity to play both sides of the coin and come out with a more entertaining and attractive message for potential clients. PS your on camera 📹 presentation was excellent and the video itself was edited well. 👌
Hi Victoria- I really appreciate this feedback- thank you! The interesting thing with this particular video, is that it isn't a stand alone, but was part of a 3 part series that started with this Video
*10 Reasons to LOVE Thunder Bay* th-cam.com/video/oGzG7ldqpBc/w-d-xo.html
It's interesting to me that this video, which was second in the series is gaining so many views and feedback- it must be a bit better optimized.
You are right- contrasting the potential downfalls against the many more positive attributes of Thunder Bay into one video would have been a better strategy!
Thanks again for watching and for the constructive feedback.
Well said!
@Danielle Wilson Real Estate great idea about putting positives beside negatives for better perspective. Good video though. Thank you
Please Thunder Bay is the worst place in Canada. Oh the Racism is of the chart I live in Toronto and never experienced up front racism in my life.
Racism directed at whom? I’m Muslim so I’m guessing I’m not off limits
@@crystalwebster2005They probably mean First Nations people
@@displosomia6106 that makes sense now that I live here
I spent 3 weeks there and yes I saw racism and homeless dugadicts everywhere. It was sad.
@@crystalwebster2005 I’m black and I was with two First Nations friends the taxi driver did now want to take us. He even called the police because I (we ) refused to leave the taxi. It was shocking.
Danielle, having lived in Sioux Lookout for 5 years and traveling to T Bay and Winnipeg from time to time, your ad is dismaying. After watching this, to listen to your next video on 5 positive things, won’t get much viewing. Your strategy is not entertaining. Delete this video and when you are promoting the positive, talk about how they will come to love the place…beautiful scenery, great fishing, boating/canoeing, skiing, etc. after we moved to “northern Ontario, we fell in love with it and didn’t want to leave! I actually got to enjoy winter!
Thank you so much for watching, AND for your feedback- I too love Northwestern ON and can't imagine living anywhere else. I am curious- did you watch the Video where I outlined the top 10 best things about living in Thunder Bay? th-cam.com/video/oGzG7ldqpBc/w-d-xo.html. Give it a watch and let me know your thoughts!
@@DanielleWilsonRealEstate sadly, I did not as the first was such a downer. There is far too much negativism nowadays.
you're naming the good things about the areas outside of thunder bay, specifically. thunder bay itself does not have beautiful scenery, great fishing, or skiing. the boating is on you if you like paddling by industrial ruins and railroads through toxic waters.
@@CakeZRqGoTR I suppose it depends on what one’s interests are. Every place has disadvantages, but if one dwells on the negatives in life, it is hard to see anything beyond that.
@@ifs1613 Those are my interests. I'd gladly live in a town outside Thunder Bay. The city proper is a prison, with beauty just beyond it's walls.
