As someone who calls Edmonton home, I was less offended by her piece, and more struck how someone could make major life decisions so carelessly. She doesn't really seem to have learned from her foolishness.
This interview really didn’t help her cause. Windermere IS practically Leduc. It’s less than a 15 minute drive down the QE2. If you want nightlife in Edmonton you’re going to need to be closer to DT/Whyte Ave. You can’t move to an area that when I was growing up in the Edmonton area was literally a farmers field and expect it to be even half of what Toronto has to offer. Windermere is where young people are moving when they want to buy their first home, settle down, and start families they aren’t moving there to go out every night or much at all.
Also the debate around her story isn’t about feeling like we’ve been trashed… It’s about how a person who made several very poor decisions thinks we live in a shithole because of her poor decaions. It’s honestly pretty humorous.
If there's a shithole out there she moved back to it,have fun!
This lady is mindless. Edmonton is a delight and she missed out.
As someone who was born and lives in Edmonton, Windemere is not the place for a young, single woman who is looking for a social scene. Edmonton has historically had an amazing DIY scene. Spend a little bit of time here and you can find a lot of cool things here. That being said, downtown Edmonton is dying, if it isn't already dead. Our city council is clueless to what is actually going and prefers to govern based on ideology instead of realities. Edmonton transit centres have become the place to overdose on usually down (fentanyl) or meth, or a place to take a dump in front of other people. The amount of zombies walking around the areas that people go to socialize is embarrassing. Thefts and catalytic converters being cut off your vehicles happens all the time without any consequences. I love Edmonton but if someone was moving here from another city, I'd warn them to think hard about their decision.
very well said
Makes sense why she's single 🤣🤮😬
☠☠☠🤣
Windermere is 30 minutes from the core of Edmonton? Leduc is 37 minutes from the core of Edmonton. That’s like living in Hamilton and being like it doesn’t feel like Toronto??
To each it’s own. I love Edmonton and I have lived here over 10 years. I used to live in Toronto and went back to visit in 2019 for 2 weeks and I couldn’t wait to leave. I found it too crowded and too many people. I cannot live there again. Edmonton strong ❤
Yes edmonton strong. The city of parking lots, barren empty spaces, 8 months of brutal winter and infinite crackheads
Yup. Sid saying we’re offended. That’s like a true Liberals of Toronto. STFU. Toronto couldn’t move a needle and stop living like North New York since it’s follow New York’s tail on any decisions. Big Time city? More like Big Trash City.
@@celestialeel sounds like an improved version of Toronto, and the GTA has lots of shootings
@@larryjohnstone6260 No way you're comparing crime from Toronto to Edmonton lol. Edmonton is consistently on every top 10 list for crime rate. They used to call it Deadmonton because there were so many shootings
Notice how mad she gets when they call her "Toronto special"
Lots of night life in the GTA,we often see the results on the news! I was born in Ontario, lived there 38 years. Moved to Alberta 3 years ago, I wouldn't go back to Ontario if they told me I could live there for free! People here are generally friendlier here, in Toronto many don't even like eye contact. We were visiting family in Oakville in October after the nasty summer humidity, and the day we left you could see the smog from horizon to horizon. I have had no asthma problems since leaving Ontario. The year round sun here is awesome, and we get very little snow in our area,I am extremely happy about that. Anyhow you guys can keep your Toronto attitudes, and Justin Trudeau you seem to love there. Hopefully more of you won't come out here.
I've been here 9 years in AB after living in Ontario for 27. Everyone has their own experiences and I love Toronto, I like visiting and I like the people. More and more from Ontario will likely come out here, hopefully you treat them with kindness and respect
@@ryanc.r2431 1 out of every 10 license plate I see in edmonton seems to be from ontario these days
@@ryanc.r2431 Hopefully the western provinces will be an independent nation one day. I work with a lot of people from out east, several that are fed up with Trudeau and would vote to separate given the chance. Let's face it the east and west are a bad marriage where a divorce is long overdue. If people come out here not wanting to make it like the east fine. The woman in the video is Toronto through and through, as Hamiltonian's used to call it hog town. I was born there and lived in south Ontario 38 years, and I well know what Toronto is.
Sp why is this in the news ? Was it another slow news day that made room for a lame story like this? She moves from Toronto to Edmonton to start a new life. This is a big decision, and not every city is the same. So don't trash a city because it didn't suit her lifestyle of partying. Give it a break sister.
Proof Karens come in every form
This doesn’t exactly help her case, lol.
Lived in Toronto for many years, years ago. Loved the city... however, Canada ends just west of TorontAndo, the rest of the country does not exist. By the way, Jackie Thomas loves herself way more than she loves Toronto. And... 30 minutes south of Edmonton is around Leduc.
Even though Leduc was never mentioned and I want on air mentioning the area that I stayed in. You STILL persist with Leduc. Yall are wild...as I said people believe what they want. Hope you have an awesome Friday my Google maps wizard
@@jackiethomas905 there is no functional difference between living in Windemere and Leduc. Theyre both outside the Henday and about 30 mins from downtown
She deserves Toronto and Toronto deserves her.
@@jackiethomas905 Sorry if my comment was rude. Didnt realize who I was responding to. You've made me want to go visit Toronto so thank you for that!
Stay in Ontario....I've lived in Etown all my life and I love it.
Good god -- the word salad, back-pedaling, and defensiveness from her. LOL.
Jackie I appreciate you coming on here and clearing up the facts. The story takes a much different perspective knowing that you lived in Windemere as Windemere is often seen as a top prestigious area of Edmonton. I completely agree with you on the fact that there is 0 vibe here compared to Toronto but I was surprised to here you had visited many times since 2015. May I ask more about your experiences visiting (where did you stay? / what sorts of places did you visit at the time that made Edmonton seem more lively?)
A lot of the top lounges/bars in Edmonton closed permanently during COVID and many downtown restaurants /bars have never recovered. The vibe just isn’t there anymore people just don’t go out , many places downtown are half full on weekends and completely empty during the week including cactus. People just don’t go out like they used to especially in the core. I had assumed that the suburbs were more lively with people going out there vs commuting downtown, but that may not be the case.
I moved to Edmonton from Vancouver Island 20 years ago and hated every second. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Unfortunately I'm having to move back in a few weeks due to finances and I'm dreading it.
Man we're lucky to have you again.
I'm trying to be kind but I just can't. This interview made her seem even more foolish. 1. The New York sign in the background from Winners is there to remind us how worldly she is. 2. "I don't have that kinda time." That's probably what she said when her friends and family told her to research Edmonton. 3. She moved all the way across the country to hang out at Cactus Club? Trust me, we read the article. It's in there. Basically, she's not even interested in discovering the great restaurants and lounges in Windermere like BUCO, XIX, Hart's Table, Black Pearl. 4. Again, your lack of research and understanding of Edmonton shows that you don't understand that you closer to Leduc than you are downtown Edmonton where all the action that you want happens. 5. She's been visiting Edmonton since 2015 for business. So why didn't she just do all the things she did on her business trips that made her fall in love with the city and decide to move there? When you move to a new city, it's takes months, if not years, to build the life you want. 7. It's not really a cautionary tale, it's just another example of how clueless Torontonians can be about the rest of Canada.
Hahahahahaha-called out!! Back peddling HARRRRRRDD.
This is all so weird
why was'nt Whyte ave and old strathcona on a warm day or evening mentioned? Most live theatre per capita outside toronto,great retail and shopping choices and great food options .
I've travelled to A class cities and while no one in Edmonton is claiming Toronto or Vancouver ratings ,Id still say it hits above the belt in warmer months in some areas compared to anywhere on a smaller scale. Winter in Edmonton is just restaurant and theatre season imo.
How is this news?
You don't put down a city. We are not thin skinned. How about I put down Toronto?
I believe what she said. I moved from Calgary to Toronto and never want to go back
I agree with Jackie
I use to live there I want to come back after 5 years
Base on the comment section here, They're right. People do have the thinnest skin in Edmonton.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this, and her attitude is giving me life. 😂🤣😂 Get them straight girl!
BT have me on please! I know way more about this country then some Toronto lady who moved away for a few years. I’ve got tons of knowledge on many cities I’ve lived and visited. Edmonton has the biggest mall in Canada and second in North America. She didn’t even mention it. Just another moment of fame for no one deserving of it. Don’t come to a city and degrade the name and act like your something. Complete garbage and this story should never of been aired for anyone to see how shallow she really was being!
She isn't a Toronto lady, she is a Mississauga lady - big difference
Best place to live in Canada southern Ontario❤❤❤ Home sweet home🎉😊
I wouldn't go back there if it were free! Enjoy your sickening humidity and shooting's.
40 M Toronto Ontario looking for a hook up
I been to Edmonton and its soooooooo lame and boring. No place in Canada can compare to The City Of Toronto!!! We the best!!
Love your shootings,traffic,cost of living, snow, humidity, and smog! Enjoy!
I stayed in Toronto for a while, and it was way too muggy in the summer, cold in the winter, the ppl there were rude, too expensive, and no ocean to look at, however it is a great city, if you're an extrovert who likes clubbing, bar hopping, social gatherings
Thank GOD I live in White Rock BC, much better area!
Can’t judge edmonton if you’ve only visited
@@cristianwattamaniuk4333 nahhh, I'm good.... lol 😂😂😂😊
Tell them again girl
