A smelly cluster of factories and a huge mall located in the middle of nowhere. Edmonton defiantly takes the cake for the worst place to live in Canada. It is the dirtiest and most polluted city in Canada and possibly all of North America. Downtown Edmonton is a total joke. Hardly any building even worth looking at and the homeless problem is absolutely insane and there is nothing going on downtown or for that matter anywhere in the city after 5pm. The weather in Edmonton is the absolute worst. Winter lasts for about 9 months of the year and it can be -20 for weeks staright.Spring and Fall are impossible to identify and the summer which lasts for about 15 days leaves you wanting to cry.
The population of Edmonton is mostly made up of fresh off the boat Immigrants who work at 7 11 and hardly speak English, uneducated blue collar trades people and a bunch of teens and 20 something’s that drop out of school and just get baked all the time. All people in Edmonton can talk about is how the flames suck and Calgary sucks and it’s a cow town and smells like leather and on and on yet they fail to look around them and see the frozen landfill that they live in.

Edmonton is nothing but an embarrassment to Alberta and all of Canada.

A shitty city in Central Alberta, it is shitty because:

A. Fat Capital of Canada (not making that up, it statistically is the Houston of Canada)

B. They call themselves the city of Champions because of 5 Stanley Cup wins, I am from Calgary but I am well aware that Montreal has won the cup 22 times so what does that make them? Ultra champs? And then theres the 11 grey cup titles, no one overly cares about cfl except Saskatchewan because they have even less than Edmonton

C. No chinooks = what few hotties there are most likely are all bundled up in parkas....

D. D is for Deadmonton

E. The mall is decent but should be renovated soon, looks pretty shitty to me

F. What else does your city have? really question yourselves

Trust me, this is THE WORST city in North America. The people really think it's good, but 99% of them haven't gone further than Red Deer. Sweat Pants and a jean jacket pass as fashion here. Everyone drives like a shithead, and if you change lanes without signalling, they literally will come to your window to tell you off at the next light. I'm serious! If this was any other city, there'd be gun clapping to keep things in line. And what's with all the moustaches and mullets? OMG it's terrible. This city is the worst. There are no good places to go. It's so depressing. All it has is a freaking brown river and a shitty ass mall. The mall has a zellers...how good could it be??? I can't say anything good. The boom has made people lazy. I picked the wrong city to move to in Alberta. Calgary is way better. At least you can go for a nice dinner. I'm going back east as soon as I can. It sucks here.
I think I said enough, but I'll say it again. Edmonton is as bad a city as it gets. The residents need to learn that mullets suck, moustaches from 1984 are shit, and jean jackets from 1987 are terrible

Edmonton is the capital of Alberta in Canada. It is now the murder capital of Canada, and also has the highest crime rate in Canada. And i live here, what a fuckin waste of land it is! About a million people, more with all of its boroughs like St. Albert and Sherwood Park. Nice skyline. The nice areas are few, but they are mostly around the Riverbend district in the now joined former city of Strathcona and on the far western edge the now joined former city of Jasper Place... But there's too much bad shit... in other places... the ghetto is the entire lower northeast, stretching across the subway / above ground train line to areas like Belvedere and Highlands and Abbotsfield and Boyle/McCauley. Theres so much fucking gangs its crazy, the main ones that are bad and fighting each other right now are the mostly black Bloods and the mostly native Alberta Warriors. Theres like a fucking shooting a day here. it sux, yes it does... do something about it...
"Edmonton" should be better known as "the wasteland of Canada"

A shit-poor excuse for a city. I visited to see the world's biggest mall only to find out its the world's sixth biggest mall... and it is a bloated and dated piss-poor excuse of a shopping center. I'd rather visit three malls in Calgary than waste half a fucking day to drive to Edmonton and get in a car wreck with some immigrant who can't drive.

Why can't you imbred Edmontonians learn how to drive?
Edmonton is known for being a shitty, dusty, cold piece of shit town in the middle of nowhere. People visit expecting a great mall and find a smelly dated piece of shit with a dirty waterpark.

A large, sprawling, industrial cesspool located in central Alberta, that is home to about 1.1 million people. Edmonton is known for very few things, and is a relatively unremarkable city with the largest shopping mall in North America. Edmonton has the highest murder rate in Canada, because all of the inbred trash that works in the oil fields up north comes down to Edmonton to waste their money on whores, drugs and lap dances before shooting someone in the face. These people are usually white trash, natives or immigrants from Africa and India.

Edmonton is also home to some of the most godawful, fucked up architecture in the world, where every building is either a grey or brown box that is spiced up with shitty neon. This is because most of the city's buildings were built in 1966 and haven't been renovated since my parents were in kindergarten and all the historic architecture was torn down by unscrupulous city planners.

On the bright side, Edmonton is also one of the wealthiest, fastest growing cities in the world, and the average Edmontonian has a higher per capita income than any other type of Canadian. That's the only reason I stay in this frozen over hellhole. Edmontonians have opportunities like no other.

Also, Edmonton is still better than Calgary, which is a boring Toronto wannabe with ugly, rude people and a shitty zoo. It's not as ugly as Edmonton, but it has no soul and is inhabited by mindless worker drones who sit in cubicles all day drinking soup from a straw.
I just went to Edmonton, got shot, got frost bite and made 500,000 dollars from working at McDonalds.
