Canada is fun but I definitely do not want to grow old and retire here, I'm going somewhere hot to spend my last 10 or 15 years.
Me too! Or at least the winters anyway!

I can thoroughly recommend it even though it's only an unusually cool 16C on my patio at the moment !

I think 4 degrees is a little optimistic but I concur, it is a lovely sunny day here. Unfortunately I have work to do this afternoon so no wobbly pops until later.

Meh, I think the heat is overrated - 36+ degrees is just as unpleasant as -36 imo. Plus the sun in Oz is v. harsh and you have to think about it (sunscreen etc) more than you do in other warm places.

I also agree. Acceptable temperatures are between 10c - 27c.

36 is too much for Dboy....i like our summers, although they can get up there at times. But i do feel I need a get-away from the rainy winters here.

There was something on CBC earlier today about Toronto being warmer than Phoenix.
