曾经想搬去那里，并且专程跑了一趟，那是前年春天的事情。

住在一家移民接待站，房东打政府工，1200尺的平房，大学附近，前进双车库，大概只有28万。这样的房子，在我们这里得50-60万了吧。

聊起来，说是春天会发洪水。 Red River从南往北流，好像是美国的一个什么地方，到了春天，雪水就从山上流下来，并夹杂着大冰块，经常堵塞河道。这就是第一句话的由来了。不过，据房东说，市政府另修了一条疏洪渠，应该可以解决洪水泛滥的问题。当时，听到河水是由南往北，由美国往加拿大流，就觉得怪怪的。总觉得水应该是由东往西，由北往南流。

至于冬天，没有在那里呆过，只是听人家说起过。好像，温尼泊的冬天，确实厉害。

爱民顿、卡而加利，到今年的萨斯卡通、瑞嘉纳，轮番上涨的时候，后面都有一个跟着上涨凑热闹的尾巴，那就是温尼泊了。

曾经主张新移民去温尼泊，就是觉得那里的房子还负担的起。等那里的房价也炒上去，整个加拿大，就没有适合新移民落脚的地方了。
