I live on the east side of Toronto and when I moved here from even snowier climates, I traded my Porsche Macan for a RWD manual M235i. The Porsche was the only non manual car I ever owned, and while it had lots of positives I really missed driving stick and wanted to try owning a RWD car. I've been through 2 winters on dedicated snows, and it's been better than I expected. My street is the last to be plowed, and twice after giant snowfalls I've needed a little manual assistance getting to the end of the street, but once you're on plowed roads it's perfectly fine. I drive away from the city for work, so usually no stop and go for me - if there was that might change my opinion a bit.
I say if you've always wanted a manual car then go for it. Heck even the guy from Calgary made it through 5 winters no problem!

I don't know how you Canadians find yourself with RWD/Manual cars?!! Can't find any down here. Have to go all the way to Florida!
