I've never been to Winnipeg--heck I've never really been to any Western cities. All I've got is a single day in Edmonton spent entirely at the airport & the West Ed Mall, but that's not really experiencing Edmonton as a city IMO. Never saw downtown or anything urban. I do plan on taking an epic road trip from Ottawa to Vancouver once I have the money, so I'll get my fill then
I've always thought of Winnipeg as being a very much an unappreciated jewel in this country, and these pictures are confirming it.
