You need to get out and around more.  Actually live in other Canadian cities.  Murdered, mugged or raped? Probably in and around huge swaths near Jane and Finch, huge swaths of Etobicoke, if not all of it.  Never mind "stabby" neighbourhoods, in Toronto you have to be concerned that you don't get mixed up in a random drive by shooting. How about mob shoot outs in Little Italy. Or  drug gang shoot outs in the Eaton Centre and out on Yonge's shopping area. You'll be looking over your shoulder and not at the big screens at Dundas and Yonge. 

90% of Winnipeg's crime occurs in an eight block square referred to as the "North End", historically the landing pad for immigrants and our first peoples.

The prices are up and the infrastructure is trailing because, on a percentage basis, Winnipeg is the fastest growing city in Canada. It's a diverse economy, get a better job.

And the climate thing is a fabrication. Winnipeg is the warmest city in the country for seven months of the year.
