Canadians..when its cold in Toronto it's "Canadians"
western Canada was in a deep freeze for a month but it was never "Canadians" face deep freeze.

But unlike with the Western Canada cold spell this one is affecting most of the country from the maritimes to saskatchewan.

Stop complaining about semantics.

[mtbr]

so western Canadians aren't Canadians.

then again it's a CBC report we know they're Libs . Libs hate everything west of Kenora

lol, when I left home this morn' at 0700 - it was -32. Didn't get much warmer during the rest of the allowable daylight hours - nearly 200 collisions in and around the Nations Capital, on the ROC side of the river - observed perhaps a half-dozen remnants - crappy day to be involved in one of those - standing around, waiting for the police and tow trucks, sans gloves, proper footware, no scarves or headgear - I swear, it's enough to cause one to wonder. . . .

Anyone who's standing around "sans gloves, proper footware, no scarves or headgear" in -32 weather deserves to freeze. I have no pity for people who don't think ahead and dress properly for the conditions. I always have extra winter gear in my car.

Having said that, everyone else east of Alberta has my condolences vis-a-vis this weather. We've had -20 to -35 (not including windchill) weather since early December and I'm not sad to see it go.

plus 8 here right now.

I feel for the people east of me though.
That's a wicked cold front.

When I'm in the cold weather I bring my full-on bug bag so I'm good to go for a week if needs be. Never hurts to be prepared.

Canada Goose parka,their is nothing better.

Well...maybe sealskin but the CG parka is nice and worth the $1200.00.

It even has a strap sewn on the back where you can hook a chopper longline and be slung to safety.

Cold in the hat dude?

Personally I find that maritimers are a little soft when it comes to the cold, hell just the other week a school shut down because they thought a bad storm was rolling in. It turned out to be 3cm of snow with -13 deg and a little bit of wind. Hell I remember riding my bike home in -30 weather after I closed the store at 1 am.

I remember walking 20 miles to school through 10 feet of snow while barefoot and packing my lil sister in minus 50,uphill both ways.
