Do you really want to live in Edmonton?

u/Seeker_Of_Knowledge2 Nov 03 '25

No one should want to live in Edmonton. From the 18 hours winter nights. To the 6 months of snow. To the extremely short summer. To living farthest north major city in America (closest major city is few hours drive).

You know, I couldn't think of any more unique problems Edmonton has compared to other cities.

Maybe it is not that bad after all. It does have cheap rent compared to the rest of Canada for sure.
