Edmonton is a pretty great city for working though. Lots of work is here. We also have lots of support for addictions in this city, which is how I got to this city to begin with. I came herre as a hopeless addict, Edmonton healed me, now I am going to use that energy to heal the world.
Guys like you occupied the whole downtown. I've been to there, it looks like zombielend. After European cities, it looks terrible and disgusting. Something goes wrong with the Canadian society.
@MrDemon47 obviously NOT below comments on TH-cam. There are millions of newcomers, and everyone can build their carriers. If your way is only to complain, I have no idea what should you do except to change this approach.
Edmonton is an okay city to live in. The best thing about it is the affordability. When I was 26 I was able to afford to buy an average townhouse in an average neighbourhood in Edmonton, whereas my childhood friends in Toronto where paying more than double in rent for their tiny apartment then I was for my mortgage. It's not super lively but there's plenty going on in the summer. There's not a big night life in the city. We do have some pretty good restaurants and decent variety in cuisine. In the past couple years as you pointed to in your video there has been a surge in crime pretty much all over the city. Downtown, the biggest problem being homeless/drug addicts/mentally ill. I've worked downtown for years and never really felt unsafe until maybe 2-3 years ago when this problem just exploded. Job market really depends on which sector you work in. Unfortunately a lot of the newcomers to Edmonton have been unskilled immigrants who are struggling to find work. But if you are a skilled tradesperson or work in healthcare there are plenty of jobs. Most of the high ranking schools are in the more expensive southwest quadrant of Edmonton so if you can't afford to live in that area you usually have to go to your local school. This is Canada, so winter is winter but there are levels to the severity of winter. Edmonton has very long and extremely cold winters. Most years we start getting snow in November into the beginning of April. We usually get a cold snap for 1-2 weeks where is can go down to -45 degrees Celsius, even colder with the windchill. The parks are okay. We only really have one nice park with decent amenities, Hawerlak Park, which why everyone goes there. The river valley area for walks/hikes is a bit scary now in some parts because homeless/drug addicts people keep setting up tents in the wooded areas. But compared to some other major cities, Edmonton is still relatively safe. This is an issue in general for North American cities but Edmonton is not really walkable, even the new developments. Compared to Montreal for example which, due to it's geography and it's history, has a pretty well connected public transit system and many neighbourhoods that are fairly walkable. Though the city of Edmonton is expanding it's public transit system, just because of the way the city has been planned and zoned you'll have a hard time without a car. The healthcare system in our province is like much of Canada, understaffed. Finding a family doctor that is accepting new patients can be difficult. If you like to travel a lot, Edmonton's airport doesn't have than many direct flights to other destinations as compared to Calgary. Childcare now in Alberta is affordable. Most families pay less than $300/month for full-time day care. If you're an average worker there isn't a huge difference in income tax in AB vs other province. Though we don't have PST in AB somethings in Edmonton are expensive because of the logistics cost to get them here vs. say Toronto or Vancouver. People in Edmonton are on average far more conservative than Torontonians but more liberal than Calgarians. If you're looking to own a home and build some equity or just to save money then Edmonton is the best major city to choose in all of Canada.
You can blame the reasons why Mayor Iverson had quit and Sohi got elected thinking that dealing with a different person will make a difference. Seems Edmonton is less favored so we get less tax dollars invested in our city not from the Federal government. The problem's still there after some elections just with a different name but with the same agenda, although it seems Calgary's having the same issues just that they're more favored. At least drivers in Edmonton are less aggressive compared to Calgary. As for the ETS, seems like the changes intentionally made it difficult for ppl to take the LRT and not make it safer just by at least adding warning lights on LRT crossings. As for healthcare, seems like there's a long term privatization agenda to sabotage the system as the solution to the problem is to pay more for private care compared to the unionized public healthcare.
@@Exaris79 The LRT rollout was a mess too. I don't understand why we don't have paid turnstiles like every other city that has a subway or LRT. Because of this pretty much anyone can get onto the platform and then onto the train without paying. I know peace officers occasionally check but I've seen a platform fill up with 50 people and maybe only 10 of them have paid. Imagine how much revenue ETS is loosing because of their own terrible planning. In terms of safety it will make the platforms and carriages safer because at least the drug addicts probably won't be paying to get in. I'm also worried Alberta is going to end up like Quebec in terms of healthcare. In Quebec many people struggle to find public health care because so much of it is privatized. And the reason so much is privatized is because in QC they don't put a cap on what private doctors can charge so doctors are incentivized to go private so they can make more money.
I am excited that you did a video on my city! So Nice to hear the prospective of those from Calgary. It was too bad that a few of the other great areas and attractions in our city were not mentioned but that would have taken longer. Hope you had a nice drive to Jasper and thank you for uploading this video of my wonderful city of Edmonton! 👍
What is truly unforgivable is that they still don't have a high-speed train between Edmonton and Calgary at the very least, it still takes about three hours to travel by road, they need to make it faster so that people can easily travel between the two without having to fly.
We will never get that kind of infrastructure investments in Edmonton, or between Edmonton and Calgary. Both Cities will claim they don't have the budget, even though property taxes have doubled in the past few years, as well as all these other taxes they've introduced, while pretending it's to save our environment, and yes I realize that tax is federal! Without a major investment from the federal government nothing will progress too much. Trudeau will never agree to put that kind of investment anywhere in Alberta purely because the majority of Alberta's refuse to invest in him.
Thanks for featuring all these Canadian cities. And thanks for also showing the negatives. It's tough to show, but it's a reality that shouldn't be ignored.
My sister lives in Edmonton, and we just recently went for the first time to visit (and film). Honestly, I've heard a lot of people smack talk it in the past, but we enjoyed up enjoying it! Is it the most exciting city in Canada? Definitely not. But it's got some pretty beautiful areas. It's also got a lot of really pretty "suburbs" with super nice houses. It felt like a really family friendly type of city to live.
I've been living in Edmonton for most of the past 15 years and love this city. There isn't a better place in Canada right now. But that doesn't mean it's perfect. We have far too many idiots on the roads who believe that the size of their pickup trucks gives them special privileges. We also have a homeless crisis and an opioid problem that is threatening to destroy the entire city. That's also part of th reason you don't see very many people downtown.
Great job on the video Alina! Edmonton is actually a very cool place to visit, and to live as well! You were here at a quiet time of the year.

I used to live in Edmonton and I quite liked it. Once you got to know how things work there, it's a city of malls. If you're looking for people to hang out with. That's where you go. Not just West Edmonton mall. They've got malls all over the place
Nice video. The last time we were in Edmonton was 11 years ago . It was winter and it was cold. You’re right , the best time to visit is summer and falll. You have love those donuts. Sending much love ❤️ from Harriet Jim and Yuki
Hello Alina. Tell your mum I said hello from Ireland. She's a lovely person. Thanks for the positives and negatives of Edmonton, and yes, I loved the shopping mall. 👍😊🇮🇪💙🇨🇦🇺🇦
Based on the video I find it strange that the downtown was so empty. Was it a Sunday? Or really early? The street you were on where fawkes coffee is, usually always has something going on. Even Kelly’s pub had no one on the patio which isn’t typical in the summer. Other than it’s pretty quiet on the weekend (but so is Calgary in the core on the similar day and time you were in Edmonton). Especially when there are no events which looks like you hit a day with no events. 104 street has a farmer market on Saturdays and the car show the evening of July 13 and it was busy. The mural “Take a Risk. It’s the most Edmonton thing you can do” was one of the first big Edmonton murals and it was intended to inspire other buildings to take the risk and use their black walls as a canvas for art. (Which it did and you missed some really great art in downtown). It is also meant to spark the entrepreneur and creativity. You missed some really nice things in downtown, one being the river valley access… you mentioned the river valley which was great but didn’t show the funicular (mechanized walk way so people with disabilities or mobility issues can also easily access the river valley). Anyway I grew up in both Edmonton and Calgary. I also lived in Calgary in my 20s. I work in Oil and Gas. I have a video about 6 common misconceptions about Edmonton that I think is a good watch but my overall take between the cities is that Calgary feels more corporate a larger city and Edmonton has a small town feel to it. As for safety, I think the cities are similar. I know where the pockets of homeless people are too in Calgary etc. since the pandemic the downtown has struggled a bit. I live in downtown and I mostly enjoy it but it has some struggles
Especially at Winston Churchill square. There is almost always something going on there. Will be there tomorrow for taste of Edmonton. And having lived in Edmonton and Calgary, There was less doing in Calgary's downtown.
Note you never mentioned the UofA it's the biggest university and the hospital is the best transplant hospital in western Canada and the considered one of best kidney transplant hospitals in the world, also one of the best cancer research ,heart and children hospital in North America!
Is this recent influx of people to Alberta mostly from other provinces or from other countries? We have somewhat similar issue here in the Greater Toronto Area and the real estate prices really shot up. Plus the local and provincial government needed to spend money to improve the road infrastructure and transport services.

Hey, edmontonian here, and we're currently building a condo in Cancun. Are you also in Cancun? We plan to just live there in the winters for now, but if we like it we could consider a permanent move. Is it difficult to move there? What is the process?
@@jackgunn1480 Hola amigo 👋🏽👋🏽 We applied for residency at the consulate in Calgary, there is few ways to go about this. They have also changed the requirements since we applied.

Not to be pedantic, but Alberta hasn't been getting the majority of immigrants. It is getting it's fair share, but the majority are still going to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. What Alberta is getting is a ton of inter-provincial migrants (ie. Canadians.) that are fleeing Ontario and BC for cheaper housing.
I’m in St. Albert right now! Just beside Edmonton! It needs to have more going on for sure - I prefer Calgary - love the proximity to the awesome beautiful outdoors - but the sky is sure gorgeous!! I have family in both cities!! Terrific video!!
I just spent 2 days by the river in Saskatoon and was surprised how beautiful it was. The 2nd day I walked 9 miles in the river valley. lol Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
Edmonton river valley is amazing! I feel like I am in living in the country as well as living in a city. A lot of people don't like Edmonton because it's not touristy like Vancouver and Toronto but that's exactly why I like it! I don't want a million tourists here in this charming city lol.
Downtown Edmonton looked great with some wonderful architecture. A Blueberry 🫐 donut 🍩 sounds delicious 😋. Glad you were able to go to The West Edmonton mall which is a legendary place ! Most malls here in the states are struggling to stay afloat. Fascinating day Alina ! Thanks 😊
As someone who was born and raised in Edmonton and lives in the Downtown I should say that there are not that many more people on the streets even during the week. Before Covid there were more people downtown but during Covid so many people seemed to discover that working from home is better and have not returned and many of the stores and shops have closed. That being said the downtown is a good place to live if you can tolerate the homeless and somewhat troubled folks walking around.and one can get by without even owning a car. The nightlife is not awesome but it's OK and some really good restaurants and live theatre scene. There are more interesting and exciting places to live but it is probably more affordable than an lot of other options.
Subscribed because you are doing a fantastic service for your fellow Canadians. I always wanted to visit Alberta because of the Tar sands Canada has for lower-grade crude oil but Alberta might be a great place for a Vacation - my wife LOVES to Travel. Take care.
I actually never heard of Fawkes until this video because I don’t go to downtown a lot but now I’m thinking the next time I’m there I’m going there for a coffee.
That restaurant looks amazing! The decor looks very eastern European, and the pan-Slavic menu looks delicious. Your mum seemed impressed. I'd have ordered the borszcz to start and then either your chicken schnitzel or the goulash. Liverpool has a sizable Eastern European immigrant community (mostly Polish, but some Ukrainian, Slovakian and Baltic) but I haven't tried any of their restaurants yet - now I will. The thing I've always heard about Edmonton is that the megamall sucked the life out of the downtown centre - it took all the business and money away and left it empty and unsafe.
Ilived in Calgary for 5 yearx my window overlooked the mountains I was born in Edmonton and I prefer Edmonton over Calgary, No nightlife because of a couple of things 1 Edmonton is the service hub for the oil sands so most people get up for work at 5 am, 2 university town they mostly get in trouble on White avenue lol. I never go to WEM anymore Thanks for visiting
Been reading."Canada will need to add 2.8 million homes due to projected 2021-31 population growth. Add this to the pre-existing shortage of almost 700,000 units, and Canada should add nearly 3.5 million homes between 2021 and 2031" The Federal government should have implemented this years ago to keep ahead of new imagration policies.
I have lived in Edmonton for the past 15 years. Before that I lived in Calgary for 30 years. I prefer Edmonton. The only thing I miss about Calgary is the short drive to the mountains.

My city! Edmonton has its gems that many people don’t give credit for. Plus, for a major city in Canada, the cost of living is still rather low, for 2024 standards anyway.
First thing I noticed are the empty streets! I live in greater Vancouver area, it's always busy busy busy, and to see empty streets like that is something I'm not used to. Even the suburbs are more busy where I live!
Vancouver has more people living downtown, that's why. In Edmonton the busy, popular hangout area is actually not downtown, but in old Strathcona across the river. Unfortunately they didn't show that in this video.
Thankfully you were in Jasper before the recent tragedy of the fire. I live in Edmonton, and it’s been years since I’ve been to Jasper, now it will be heartbreaking to visit.
@@AlinaMcleod yes, always preferred Jasper over Banff, it seemed so much more wild and untamed, also the overt commercialism of Banff is a huge turn-off.

I left the city in 2003. Best decision I made. Through the years I visited friends and family, growth has been stagnant. It's also a typical car-brain North American city, full of suburbs. No one walks or can reach anything by foot if you live in suburbs. But you're not wrong. The mall isn't that great from before. It was awesome in the 80's and 90's. The new LRT that runs from Millwoods is a blessing, but it's 30 years too late, and the one reaching West Ed will take another long time to finish. One thing for sure though. The people are great. I miss the multicultural aspect of the city. My friends parents came from around the world, as did mine, and I was blessed to have grown up with that surrounding during my time in Edmonton. But yeah, the city will never be for me anymore. But if you value a big affordable house, relying on a vehicle to get you everywhere, and the brutal winters. Then go for it! Another option is to purchase an affordable condo downtown, not own a car, and use public transportation or your feet to easily reach any amenity you need.
The city did get a little better around 2016 when improvements to the downtown were made. I would say that it is a typical car-oriented city ON THE SURFACE. It’s actually pretty decent with its transit compared to many American cities and even though it took years to fully build out the LRT, at least it actually built one! Many American cities have non-existent or worse rail transit systems. Taking transit is actually encouraged and promoted in the city. It still has problems, but at least it’s trying to overcome them.
I'm showing how naïve I am, but when you say dollars is the Canadian dollar the same as the U.S. dollar? Which one were you using when you mentioned housing costs prices?
You were walking around many of my old stomping grounds. Got me a little Nostalgic. I haven't been back in over 5 years. Downtown is not the place to be though. Whyte Ave and Strathcona East of the U Of A is were the scene is.
Going by the date this was posted, did you miss the Taste of Edmonton or Klondike Days Exhibition some weeks ago? Wondering when this video was filmed since it had been roasting hot just above 35 Celsius and you're not worried about being cooked walking outside.
Apart from the downtown zombie apocalypse Edmonton looks great, the water park looks fun, an asset for the locals a city to live in if you can brave the brutal winter weather, an underground metro would help in the winter with transport, do they have one?✌️❤️🇬🇧
Last year while visiting Edmonton and at an Elks game at Commonwealth I had my Detroit Lions jersey on at the game live and in the stands I saw other fans in other NFL team jerseys and I must say it was quite an invasion of people in NFL contingent since the Elks are brutal.
Hmmm, Edmonton looks nice on your vlog. I came across your videos and watched the previous one too. You made me wandering how many times I drove Edmonton ring road... And it must be somewhere around 200!! And I never been to Edmonton! It kinda looks like Calgary minus mountains are to far away :) So why would you bother? And second thought - how Canada changed over last years if you as a well travelled didn't feel completely safe in Edmonton! I am an immigrant, I've been living in Canada for 12 years and who would've thought now I feel like my country Poland is much safer than some major Canadian cities. That's really horrible.
I planned to move next year my fried chicken restaurant business either in Edmonton or Calgary from Montreal because of obvious reasons the high taxes in Quebec and high rent in commercial property which is not feasible anymore for business.. hope to invite you when that times happen. Nice video.
If you're from Montreal you would like Edmonton a lot more than Calgary. Calgary is a giant suburb with single family houses as soon as you drive out of downtown. Edmonton has twice the amount of apartments and has a lot of great old ethnic neighborhoods. The food ,arts , entertainment scene is way better in Edmonton,including big concerts
I been going to Edmonton for the last 30 years and also lived there 10 years back. The downtown area u were at most people dont go there now on the weekends most places to eat and drink are at 82nd ave near the University. Also when it comes to living in Calgary or Edmonton Calgary is more beautiful and has been for many years but its not growing like Edmonton and theres more work in Edmonton also theres cheaper rent. I am sadden to see Calgary hasnt grown in the last ten years because its a better city but why live in a city u cant find work in and the price for rent is higher.
A better city how. I know Calgary, it's not better it's has many problems, maybe even more then my city. You see what you want. Both cities are so much alike and have their very good, not very good and not so good.
Edmonton is a pretty great city for working though. Lots of work is here. We also have lots of support for addictions in this city, which is how I got to this city to begin with.
I came herre as a hopeless addict, Edmonton healed me, now I am going to use that energy to heal the world.

Left Canada 3 years ago moved overseas, and I glad I did. I feel very safe in all cities in Eastern Europe, better prices too!
Same we left Oct. 2021 for Mexico, cheers mate. ✌🏽
So happy for you ❤ I’m thinking of leaving as well… Canada isn’t what it used to be… The housing crisis, grocery prices, the loss of safety in big cities… It’s just so much to handle, but I need to find a job elsewhere first 😢
@@Maryb-j5k I'm here in Edmonton visiting my mom after 3 years of being away. Omg the prices are insane. 😭 I couldn't afford to live here even if I wanted to. Just to be clear I don't want to. 😂
@@2GringosOnTheGulf I’m so glad you got a chance to visit family ❤️ I live in Toronto and you can’t imagine how insane the prices are here… I don’t work a full-time job and things are just so hard 😞 honestly, I’ll move anywhere I can find a job. I’m monitoring the US election process but also I’d move there if I can get a job there…
@@Maryb-j5k we've met so many people in Mexico who said they can't afford Canada or the USA. A very sad situation for many. We are blessed to be working remotely. 🙏🏼
Love that you made a video on Edmonton. Awesome ❤
Welcome to Edmonton Alina. It’s kinda surreal to watch your vlogs all around the world and then see you here
Thank you!
Nice video and good to see both of you. Wonderful Edmonton. Thanks
Her english is getting better no doubt. You both look amazing. Stay safe❤
Thank you!
So English is NOT her first language ?????
@dannyt7075 she is originally from Ukraine
Have been living in Edmonton for 21 years. It is home beause of nice people here. Yes it is cold but kids are ready for winter sports 😂🎉
Edmonton has really beautiful walking trails and nature. Check out trails around Glenora or Whitemud Creek! Thank you for the video
Thanks for the suggestion!
I used to live in Edmonton and I quite liked it. Once you got to know how things work there, it's a city of malls. If you're looking for people to hang out with. That's where you go. Not just West Edmonton mall. They've got malls all over the place
Only if you don't live central. 118 ave ,Whyte ave ,Chinatown ,Ritchie ,124 st are all great alternatives to malls.
I disagree about the malls comment. I think it's a city of festivals. I guess it depends on where you choose to look for entertainment.
Nice video. The last time we were in Edmonton was 11 years ago . It was winter and it was cold. You’re right , the best time to visit is summer and falll. You have love those donuts. Sending much love ❤️ from Harriet Jim and Yuki
Nice video Alina
Beautiful place lots of love from Montreal. Thanks for sharing
I been to Montreal 5 times. Justlove visiting Montreal it offers so much
I have visited Canada once. That was in 2015. I was in burnaby, british columbia for a month. I visited vancouver as well. Stay blessed Alina
Hello Alina. Tell your mum I said hello from Ireland. She's a lovely person. Thanks for the positives and negatives of Edmonton, and yes, I loved the shopping mall. 👍😊🇮🇪💙🇨🇦🇺🇦
Based on the video I find it strange that the downtown was so empty. Was it a Sunday? Or really early? The street you were on where fawkes coffee is, usually always has something going on. Even Kelly’s pub had no one on the patio which isn’t typical in the summer. Other than it’s pretty quiet on the weekend (but so is Calgary in the core on the similar day and time you were in Edmonton). Especially when there are no events which looks like you hit a day with no events. 104 street has a farmer market on Saturdays and the car show the evening of July 13 and it was busy. The mural “Take a Risk. It’s the most Edmonton thing you can do” was one of the first big Edmonton murals and it was intended to inspire other buildings to take the risk and use their black walls as a canvas for art. (Which it did and you missed some really great art in downtown). It is also meant to spark the entrepreneur and creativity. You missed some really nice things in downtown, one being the river valley access… you mentioned the river valley which was great but didn’t show the funicular (mechanized walk way so people with disabilities or mobility issues can also easily access the river valley). Anyway I grew up in both Edmonton and Calgary. I also lived in Calgary in my 20s. I work in Oil and Gas. I have a video about 6 common misconceptions about Edmonton that I think is a good watch but my overall take between the cities is that Calgary feels more corporate a larger city and Edmonton has a small town feel to it. As for safety, I think the cities are similar. I know where the pockets of homeless people are too in Calgary etc. since the pandemic the downtown has struggled a bit. I live in downtown and I mostly enjoy it but it has some struggles
They all live in the burbs
Especially at Winston Churchill square. There is almost always something going on there. Will be there tomorrow for taste of Edmonton. And having lived in Edmonton and Calgary, There was less doing in Calgary's downtown.
Downtown is a wasteland of zombies and garbage
Note you never mentioned the UofA it's the biggest university and the hospital is the best transplant hospital in western Canada and the considered one of best kidney transplant hospitals in the world, also one of the best cancer research ,heart and children hospital in North America!
Great video with complete information
Your explaining skills are great. Thanks for the video. This is INDERJEET SINGH from Delhi.
Is this recent influx of people to Alberta mostly from other provinces or from other countries? We have somewhat similar issue here in the Greater Toronto Area and the real estate prices really shot up. Plus the local and provincial government needed to spend money to improve the road infrastructure and transport services.
It’s mainly from abroad but about a quarter was interprovincial mainly from Ontario lol
Beautiful tour video and the City is so beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you for uttering few words in an east european, was nice as well as been at the mall.
We left 🇨🇦 Edmonton Alberta Canada 3 years ago for Mexico. The city was good to us but we are much happier living in Mexico. Great vid, cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
@2GringosOnTheGulf Congrats 👏 How safe are you there? Some people say safer, some say not.
@@stevan2399Hey friend hope you are doing well. ✌🏼
We love it and are totally safe. If you are not doing illegal things you will be just fine. Been traveling around for 3 years with not one issue. ✌🏼❤️🇲🇽
Hey, edmontonian here, and we're currently building a condo in Cancun. Are you also in Cancun? We plan to just live there in the winters for now, but if we like it we could consider a permanent move. Is it difficult to move there? What is the process?
@@jackgunn1480 Hola amigo 👋🏽👋🏽 We applied for residency at the consulate in Calgary, there is few ways to go about this. They have also changed the requirements since we applied. For up to date reliable information I suggest you check there website.
No we are not in Cancun but we are moving to that area in a year or so. We spent 2 years in the Yucatan Merida area, we are now in Xalapa Veracruz. We are moving to the coast of Oaxaca soon as we are traveling around Mexico.
You are welcome to follow our journey here , we document our travels.
Good luck amigo, Cheers from 2 Gringos On The Gulf. ✌🏽🥰
@@2GringosOnTheGulf That is very cool. I actually have an online business that is worth a lot of money, and I plan to sell it in five years for retirement. I've been thinking I might be able to avoid capital gains taxes if I move my business to Mexico. Do you guys know anything about that?
I was out today in Old Strathcona and walking on Whyte Avenue and I had a blast. I’m visiting from Vancouver. Seems like there’s lots to do!
Garneau, Strathcona, and Oliver are probably the 3 best areas to visit. Downtown is improving though.
Absolutely! 💯 I was in all these neighborhoods today!!
great vodeo i have been to jasper i remember the beautiful post office
Alina you and your mom share a strong resemblance,
Not to be pedantic, but Alberta hasn't been getting the majority of immigrants. It is getting it's fair share, but the majority are still going to Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. What Alberta is getting is a ton of inter-provincial migrants (ie. Canadians.) that are fleeing Ontario and BC for cheaper housing.
For next visit videos: Nunavut , Victoria , Hamilton , Thunderbay
Hahaha
victoria def is a good place to stay.
I’m in St. Albert right now! Just beside Edmonton! It needs to have more going on for sure - I prefer Calgary - love the proximity to the awesome beautiful outdoors - but the sky is sure gorgeous!! I have family in both cities!! Terrific video!!
I also loved living in St Albert, I kept shopping there after I moved to the north end of Edmonton. lol Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
@@2GringosOnTheGulf Cheers!
Great music! Enjoyed the tour with you and your mom but still Like Saskatoon more 🎉
I just spent 2 days by the river in Saskatoon and was surprised how beautiful it was. The 2nd day I walked 9 miles in the river valley. lol Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
Sounds like I need to find the Calgary review video as per Moms recommendation ☀️😁
Finally here., in my city wonderful, welcome Alina ❤
Edmonton river valley is amazing! I feel like I am in living in the country as well as living in a city. A lot of people don't like Edmonton because it's not touristy like Vancouver and Toronto but that's exactly why I like it! I don't want a million tourists here in this charming city lol.
thanks Alina nice to see and your mom together touring Edmonton /.t is ice to hear her speak English .have fun together.
Downtown Edmonton looked great with some wonderful architecture. A Blueberry 🫐 donut 🍩 sounds delicious 😋. Glad you were able to go to The West Edmonton mall which is a legendary place ! Most malls here in the states are struggling to stay afloat. Fascinating day Alina ! Thanks 😊
Yeah it’s such a shame malls aren’t doing as well as they used to. In Asia they are booming!
As someone who was born and raised in Edmonton and lives in the Downtown I should say that there are not that many more people on the streets even during the week.
Before Covid there were more people downtown but during Covid so many people seemed to discover that working from home is better and have not returned and many of the stores and shops have closed.
That being said the downtown is a good place to live if you can tolerate the homeless and somewhat troubled folks walking around.and one can get by without even owning a car.
The nightlife is not awesome but it's OK and some really good restaurants and live theatre scene.
There are more interesting and exciting places to live but it is probably more affordable than an lot of other options.
Subscribed because you are doing a fantastic service for your fellow Canadians. I always wanted to visit Alberta because of the Tar sands Canada has for lower-grade crude oil but Alberta might be a great place for a Vacation - my wife LOVES to Travel. Take care.
Loving the Canadian series! When's the last time anybody got a tour of downtown Edmonton? Is Edmonton the next Phuket?
Amazing video! Great content!
I actually never heard of Fawkes until this video because I don’t go to downtown a lot but now I’m thinking the next time I’m there I’m going there for a coffee.
You totally should!
Never heard of it either. We spent many years living in Edmonton and loved it, Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
I visited Calgary, Edmonton and Fort McMurray in 2014. Stayed there for a week. Nice and quiet city :)
Your mother's english pronunciation is superb
She seems like a stick in the mud
Şehir harika ve çok şirin görünüyor alina teşekkürler çok güzel video olmuş 😁😂🤣😂🤌🤌🤌🤌💐🌹💐🌹
That restaurant looks amazing! The decor looks very eastern European, and the pan-Slavic menu looks delicious. Your mum seemed impressed. I'd have ordered the borszcz to start and then either your chicken schnitzel or the goulash. Liverpool has a sizable Eastern European immigrant community (mostly Polish, but some Ukrainian, Slovakian and Baltic) but I haven't tried any of their restaurants yet - now I will.
The thing I've always heard about Edmonton is that the megamall sucked the life out of the downtown centre - it took all the business and money away and left it empty and unsafe.
Yeah the food was amazing! Well the mall is cool but I wouldn’t say it gets that insanely busy. There’s not much else around it.
Visible from Winston Churchill Square is the main branch of Edmonton Public Library!
It’s a pleasure to watch your TH-cam videos 👌👌💯💯, thank you for sharing as always.
Hi Alina, its been a while without watching your videos, how are you doing these days queen, rgs ❤
Ilived in Calgary for 5 yearx my window overlooked the mountains I was born in Edmonton and I prefer Edmonton over Calgary, No nightlife because of a couple of things 1 Edmonton is the service hub for the oil sands so most people get up for work at 5 am, 2 university town they mostly get in trouble on White avenue lol. I never go to WEM anymore Thanks for visiting
Looks like you are home after all these trips, welcome back to Alberta!
Like the video 📹, and the honesty ❤❤❤
Been reading."Canada will need to add 2.8 million homes due to projected 2021-31 population growth. Add this to the pre-existing shortage of almost 700,000 units, and Canada should add nearly 3.5 million homes between 2021 and 2031" The Federal government should have implemented this years ago to keep ahead of new imagration policies.
They sure should have.

nice recorrido en edmonton nice gente , temperatura, parque, mall, y te miras bonita! con tu bebida
Hi Alina, I didnt know you grew up in Edmonton, the closest I have been to your hometown is NYC, where I lived for a few years way back in 2004, rgs ❤
your Mom is very graceful personality
Definitely the most underrated city in North America! Wish it was more well-known to Americans 👍
Sounds good to me and it's an absolutely beautiful place to stay ❤ take me there then 😀🙏
Awesome videos !
Old Strathcona is a part of Edmonton that is worth a visit. It is across the river from downtown. More people hang out there than downtown.
I have lived in Edmonton for the past 15 years. Before that I lived in Calgary for 30 years. I prefer Edmonton. The only thing I miss about Calgary is the short drive to the mountains.
Love to travel to Canada, but air Canada stopped me from going there because of the carryon checked bags fee😅
Ya it's crazy what they are charging now. Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
A very nice one, Alina!❤❤
Hello Alina! 🙂🙏👋✨🌟 I hope your having a marvelous day! This is really a wonderful super excellent video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇨🇦🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! The city of Edmonton looks so absolutely magnificent! Also Sir Winston Churchill Square, the Art Gallery of Alberta and the West Edmonton Mall is truly marvelous!

You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer ever! 😃👍👏🌎📹✈️🧳🥇🏆✨🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful excellent glorious blessed day. 😊🙏❤️👋🇨🇦👍💯💫✨🌟
My city!
Edmonton has its gems that many people don’t give credit for. Plus, for a major city in Canada, the cost of living is still rather low, for 2024 standards anyway.
😂😂
@urmeetuppal4231 I'm sure you're laughing from your 1 bedroom apartment that costs $2,500 😂😂😂
We spent many years living in Edmonton and loved it, Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
I truly love this city. I have been around,but this is my hometown, would never live anywhere else.
First thing I noticed are the empty streets! I live in greater Vancouver area, it's always busy busy busy, and to see empty streets like that is something I'm not used to. Even the suburbs are more busy where I live!
Vancouver has more people living downtown, that's why. In Edmonton the busy, popular hangout area is actually not downtown, but in old Strathcona across the river. Unfortunately they didn't show that in this video.
Always Love To Watch Your Vlogs.....!! ❤❤🫶🫶🫰😍👍🔥
Love edmonton! Remember west edmonton mall aint the only thing you can do in edmonton!
On Sundays alot of the foot traffic in in Oliver. You missed the 104th Farmers Market by a day.
❤to you and your Mom😊
Come enjoy the journey
Great video ❤
Thankfully you were in Jasper before the recent tragedy of the fire. I live in Edmonton, and it’s been years since I’ve been to Jasper, now it will be heartbreaking to visit.
Yes, it is horrible what has happened.
@@AlinaMcleod yes, always preferred Jasper over Banff, it seemed so much more wild and untamed, also the overt commercialism of Banff is a huge turn-off.
What is the best thing to come out of Calgary? Highway 2 North. :)
hahaha We spent many years living in Edmonton and loved it, Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽

I left the city in 2003. Best decision I made. Through the years I visited friends and family, growth has been stagnant. It's also a typical car-brain North American city, full of suburbs. No one walks or can reach anything by foot if you live in suburbs. But you're not wrong. The mall isn't that great from before. It was awesome in the 80's and 90's. The new LRT that runs from Millwoods is a blessing, but it's 30 years too late, and the one reaching West Ed will take another long time to finish. One thing for sure though. The people are great. I miss the multicultural aspect of the city. My friends parents came from around the world, as did mine, and I was blessed to have grown up with that surrounding during my time in Edmonton. But yeah, the city will never be for me anymore. But if you value a big affordable house, relying on a vehicle to get you everywhere, and the brutal winters. Then go for it! Another option is to purchase an affordable condo downtown, not own a car, and use public transportation or your feet to easily reach any amenity you need.
We left the city Oct 2021, cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
The city did get a little better around 2016 when improvements to the downtown were made. I would say that it is a typical car-oriented city ON THE SURFACE. It’s actually pretty decent with its transit compared to many American cities and even though it took years to fully build out the LRT, at least it actually built one! Many American cities have non-existent or worse rail transit systems. Taking transit is actually encouraged and promoted in the city. It still has problems, but at least it’s trying to overcome them.
Edmonton was dead on the nineties, so no surprise you have had mens, but since then Edmonton had grown a lot and is much more developed and beautiful.
I'm showing how naïve I am, but when you say dollars is the Canadian dollar the same as the U.S. dollar? Which one were you using when you mentioned housing costs prices?
It’s in Canadian and US dollar would be 30% less.
@@AlinaMcleod Thanks. Compared to Denver, Colorado (where I live) those are 'relative' cheap housing prices...
Very nice and beautiful day today 🌻🌻🌻❤️ beautiful
What’s the song at approx. 7:20?
Edit: That Russian/Ukrainian/Polish restaurant looked amazing!
You were walking around many of my old stomping grounds. Got me a little Nostalgic. I haven't been back in over 5 years. Downtown is not the place to be though. Whyte Ave and Strathcona East of the U Of A is were the scene is.
Good evening, Alina. I watched your TH-cam video on the Chinese version of TH-cam. Are you posting vlogs on the Chinese version of TH-cam?
No, that’s unfortunately someone who stole my videos ☹️
Really good your video ❤
Going by the date this was posted, did you miss the Taste of Edmonton or Klondike Days Exhibition some weeks ago? Wondering when this video was filmed since it had been roasting hot just above 35 Celsius and you're not worried about being cooked walking outside.
This was filmed about 3 weeks behind the date posted so sadly no!
Omg how did your Jasper trip go 😅 The fires are so sad
Majority of homeless people ive encounter are harmless. And i live in toronto. They just down on their luck.

M edmonton resident for just one yr. To me its a village plus city kinda place
Very cute video 😍😊
Apart from the downtown zombie apocalypse Edmonton looks great, the water park looks fun, an asset for the locals a city to live in if you can brave the brutal winter weather, an underground metro would help in the winter with transport, do they have one?✌️❤️🇬🇧
They have an above ground train line and I’ve heard it’s good but doesn’t cover everything

Wow nice one
Last year while visiting Edmonton and at an Elks game at Commonwealth I had my Detroit Lions jersey on at the game live and in the stands I saw other fans in other NFL team jerseys and I must say it was quite an invasion of people in NFL contingent since the Elks are brutal.
Hmmm, Edmonton looks nice on your vlog. I came across your videos and watched the previous one too. You made me wandering how many times I drove Edmonton ring road... And it must be somewhere around 200!! And I never been to Edmonton! It kinda looks like Calgary minus mountains are to far away :) So why would you bother? And second thought - how Canada changed over last years if you as a well travelled didn't feel completely safe in Edmonton! I am an immigrant, I've been living in Canada for 12 years and who would've thought now I feel like my country Poland is much safer than some major Canadian cities. That's really horrible.
We spent many years living in Edmonton and loved it, Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
I planned to move next year my fried chicken restaurant business either in Edmonton or Calgary from Montreal because of obvious reasons the high taxes in Quebec and high rent in commercial property which is not feasible anymore for business.. hope to invite you when that times happen. Nice video.
Where's your fried chicken restaurant in Montréal? I love fried chicken!
If you're from Montreal you would like Edmonton a lot more than Calgary.
Calgary is a giant suburb with single family houses as soon as you drive out of downtown. Edmonton has twice the amount of apartments and has a lot of great old ethnic neighborhoods. The food ,arts , entertainment scene is way better in Edmonton,including big concerts
This lady should check out the central neighborhoods and the old main streets with the mom and pop businesses.
I'm going there this fall lol, got admitted to the University of Alberta :)

Looking good with mum exploring Edmonton. Wow!
I been going to Edmonton for the last 30 years and also lived there 10 years back. The downtown area u were at most people dont go there now on the weekends most places to eat and drink are at 82nd ave near the University. Also when it comes to living in Calgary or Edmonton Calgary is more beautiful and has been for many years but its not growing like Edmonton and theres more work in Edmonton also theres cheaper rent. I am sadden to see Calgary hasnt grown in the last ten years because its a better city but why live in a city u cant find work in and the price for rent is higher.
We spent many years living in Edmonton and loved it, Cheers from 2 Canadians living in Mexico. ✌🏽
A better city how. I know Calgary, it's not better it's has many problems, maybe even more then my city. You see what you want. Both cities are so much alike and have their very good, not very good and not so good.
What is an "aesthetic" donut? Are you saying they are visually pleasing? Pretty? Not familiar with this term in the description of a donut.
Hi, Alina, Bangkok is the best city for you to move to because of the incredible food!!!
