In my profile, it states that I am a Celine Dion fan. I have to admit that the only reason for this trip was to see my idol again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I bought tickets for her Courage Tour shows in Winnipeg, <strong>Manitoba<\/strong> and Saskatoon, <strong>Saskatchewan<\/strong>. These shows were rescheduled from April 2020 to August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took advantage of the last days of the old Aeroplan program and booked multi-city tickets for 25,000 points per person, with free seat selection for all ticket categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between November 2020 and the date of the trip, made in August 2021, the flights suffered several changes.<br>\nHere are the flights we took:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__list\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quebec City (YQB)-Toronto (YYZ)-Winnipeg (YWG);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Winnipeg (YWG)-Calgary (YYC)-Saskatoon (YXE);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Saskatoon (YXE)-Toronto (YYZ)-Quebec City (YQB).<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We had the choice to cancel everything (flights, hotels and car rental), in case of cancellation or postponement of the shows. As we imagined, the whole tour was postponed to 2022 and 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the options of cancelling the trip and staying home, cancelling the flights and spending more points to find another destination or keeping our strategy, we chose the latter, even though it wasn&#8217;t our dream destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Paysage-de-la-Saskatchewan.jpg\" alt=\"Canada&nbsp;: A few days in the Prairies | Manitoba and Saskatchewan - Paysage de la Saskatchewan\" class=\"wp-image-173664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Paysage-de-la-Saskatchewan.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Paysage-de-la-Saskatchewan-450x338.jpg 450w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Paysage-de-la-Saskatchewan-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Paysage-de-la-Saskatchewan-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-winnipeg-manitoba\">Winnipeg, Manitoba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The capital of <strong>Manitoba<\/strong> looked interesting in the photos.

It was completely lifeless during the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting the downtown area was a strange, if not sad and almost scary activity. The only people we saw on the streets were homeless people and it broke our hearts to see all those people on the sidewalk, left to fend for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One man yelled at us when he passed us on Portage Avenue and another followed us for a few minutes before changing his path and disappearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We took a quick tour of the old stock exchange district, but did not linger. I guess it must be more interesting to go during the week, when there is more movement in the streets.

The long corridors reminded me of a famous movie with Jack Nicholson, but I didn&#8217;t see the twins in blue dresses. The indoor pool and whirlpool are very nice and pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gym is right next door. There are doors that lead into the courtyard, but because of a scheduled event, they were closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first night we had to ask for a change of room, because of an unbearable noise coming from the upper floor, as if an elephant was walking with Dutch hooves in his room. Before I went to talk to the front desk about the situation, I went upstairs, but I didn&#8217;t see or hear anything. Maybe it was the hotel ghost&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the reception, they offered me to change my room, on another floor. I agreed, but on the condition that we would only transfer our luggage the next day, as there was no way we were going to move all our luggage at 1am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back at the room, the elephant (or ghost) had calmed down and we finally fell asleep. The move was still made the next day, to avoid a second night of broken sleep. Our first night was disappointing, especially since we were looking forward to staying there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The front desk staff took notes, but we never heard back and nothing was offered to compensate for this inconvenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this episode, the hotel is beautiful and well located and I could not recommend another place to stay in Saskatoon. For this 2 night stay, I paid 24,000 <a href=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/en\/best-credit-cards-in-canada\/marriott-bonvoy-points\/\">Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> points, thanks to a promotion.

There are stories that it was the main support center for Al Capone&#8217;s activities in the early 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently there were tunnels built by Chinese immigrants, which were used to hide them from the authorities and anti-Chinese hatred, but also to hide goods (at the time of the ban) that would be shipped illegally to Chicago. The town was known as Little Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town&#8217;s main attraction is the Tunnels of Moose Jaw. This is a guided tour through fake tunnels, with a bit of theatre, under the streets of downtown Moose Jaw for a unique (and imagined) look at the history of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two tours available:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__list\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Passage to Fortune<\/em> is a 50-minute journey about early Chinese immigrants to Canada and their triumph over adversity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Chicago Connection<\/em> is a 50-minute tour of the prohibition era focusing on the connection between Al Capone, Chicago and Moose Jaw.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of our visit, only the Chicago one was available.
