Gee you are absolutely right. Although I seldom wear a hat and hate to wear a very heavy coat...oh the joys of living in the maritimes.

Re: who cold is cold
Getting a little testy are we? I'm agreeing with you - the snow that you get on the Prairies is great compared to snow in Ontario.
The summer in Ontario are terrible - hot, humid (so much so the sheets are soaked at night), then there are the flies, misquities(?) mmm. and all the terrible pollution coming from the States. Yes, a great place to be in the summer!!!!

I enjoyed my summers (in Ontario) at the cottage right next to the lake. The air pollution is minimal where our cottage is located. Often in Alberta, during the summers, I nearly froze my butt off. A week ago I was there, the high was 53 deg F.

For Brits, Alberta is great - it doesn't get too hot or humid like Ontario!!
Alberta is relatively cool and dry in the summer!!

Coming from Glasgow, 80F is pretty good!! If the west of Scotland had 27C for most of the summer, we were happy.

Sorry - that "testy comment was directed towards the stat's prof.
Well, yes, I admit I enjoyed spending many summers at summer cottages near Parry Sound and it was beautiful - but I was referring to summers in the Waterloo Region.

Yes, Ontario does have a problem with air pollution and high humidity, but at least it always got nice and warm - except for the last 2 years.

I remember one summer in Leicester it got to 37C for a couple of days - the place pretty much shut down.
Depends on what you're used to - let's not get subjective here
