The largest city in Montana has 90 thousand people, the largest in Wyoming has 60 thousand. Winnipeg has a population of 650,000 (actually a larger city than Miami). And the entire news article is about how Winnipeg is making itself attractive in competition with Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, by offering good jobs, good schools, and (I've lived there) a pretty cosmopolitan atmosphere. As an immigrant, it's not hard to blend in (as is the case in most large Canadian cities). Though that wouldn't actually be required, as the article was talking about offering legal immigration to those who are illegally in the US.
The winter isn't pleasant though.
- byoung2 16y agoWinnipeg has a population of 650,000 (actually a larger city than Miami). That's a little misleading...in the US, big cities are usually part of a much larger metropolitan area. Miami proper has a population of about 400,000, but the South Florida Metropolitan area has 5.5 million (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami). Expanding Winnipeg to the Winnipeg Capital region only increases the population to 735,000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_Capital_Region http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_Capital_Region). You're right about Montana and Wyoming though...
- ojbyrne 16y agoYou're right that I was a little misleading. But Winnipeg is amazingly multicultural for a city in the middle of the great white north.
