Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

I'm alright, I can afford to live in the relatively nice bit but most others have to live in the horrible bits.

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion, none is debating that. But the weight of evidence of this thread shows how many and how much people despise winter in Canada. Its only right to help people...

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

It'll be better soon enough, its nearly springtime. I think the way to survive the winters where you live is to build in a couple of warm weather breaks to give yourself something to look forward...

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

If you look at the videos they're spaced out over three to four years. Plus, no one is "trying to portray" anything, we just want to warm people that the winters are much much harsher than in the UK...

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

I refer you to the first video, note the terms "millions of Canadians" "winter never seems to end" "snow piled up to the roof" plus she says "brace yourselves" a lot. That can't be good. :(

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

Re: The truth about winter in Canada.

Those videos show the last three years.




A bit of drizzle and 8c is hardly the same as minus 40 and 10ft high snow drifts for 5 months.
