What do you guys think of this apartment? Are they good to rent from? Is it in a good part of town?

I would recommend Calgary or Red Deer before I would Edmonton... Calgary is a terrific city, been there many times and my sister is a police officer in Calgary and my other sister drives city bus there.
Andem... I beleive it is called "Racial Profiling" comparing a specific race to specific behaviors. Regardless of your stats... You labeled 2 people incorrectly:
1. "Jersay, since you are big on jumping on people calling them racists... I took your suggestion and checked the statistics."
-Jersay NEVER called anyone a racist.
2. "Because somebody is of a certain race, they're wrongly convicted? That's pretty blatantly racist."
-Lisa was trying to express her frustration that because of "Racial Profiling" innocent people are often convicted of crimes they didn't commit.
Andem, maybe you ought to think about what you write before you hit the "Submit" button. - just a suggestion from me.
Lisa - If you and you're moms heart is set on Edmonton, just go... you'll find that adventure you spoke of. However, if Edmonton was just a thought and it really doesn't matter which city you call your destination... Investigate Calgary, Red Deer, Medicine Hat (where my wife and I are moving mid July 2006) or Lethbridge. Alberta is a vast and diverse place with terrific opportunities.

Moving to Edmonton??? (or Calgary)
Before you make your move, PLEASE, PLEASE ensure you have a place to live. The even tho' the rents are quite high, the vacancy rate is very low. You'll need at least 2 months rent, in advance (one for a "damage" deposit). You'll most likely need a couple of K's to get started with rent, utility hook-ups, groceries etc.. Many people have come here only to find out they can't find a place to live. Just be aware of that by being prepared. Otherwise, no one should have a hard time finding work - there's "tons" of stuff to do out there.
As for Quebecers coming here - if you are personable and willing to communicate your best in English (and are patient with people trying to learn French,
) you'll get along just fine. Anyone who treats you otherwise is ignorant period! Unfortunately, there are always individuals who will treat you differently and they make us all look bad. However, the majority of us welcome people from whereever and are just happy to get to know you.
Good Luck!!

Moving to Edmonton
In my view, there is no better place than Edmonton for the standard of living and the civility of the people. I immigrated fom England 28 years ago and I am still here.
Nowhere is perfect. Edmonton is very cold in winter. But it is warm in summer. The standard of driving here is poor. For example, head for head, the death rate on the roads in Alberta is 4 times higher than it is in the UK.
Racism is not tolerated here in Edmonton, either in the media, the courts, any public office or in most polite society. It is an immigrant community with people from all over the world. The Police are good and not corrupt.
Unsolicited advice: If you have "issues" in your own homeland, leave them in your homeland. Don't bring them with you.

Watch what bus you take from there because they will take you to their bud's hotel if you get the wrong guy and if you arrive at 2 am expect to see the airport empty.
Nisku was allways my connection for many years,I hate big citys and Edmontons just a bit higher on my list then Calgary.
More gratuitous advice...
Do not leave Montreal without your blinkers. That way, everything will look just fine in the City of Contenders!
