While the stereotype that it is always freezing cold in Canada or that they all live in igloos and ride polar bears and sled dogs to work is not true, in the winter Canada gets extremely cold for months on end. In the summer it can get up past 40 degrees Celsius for months, but when it’s -40 in the winter and the snow is piling up so much on the roof that it needs to be cleared off or it will cave in, the hot days are hard to remember.
Thankfully though Canadians just do not seem to feel the cold quite like other people though. -10 or -15 in the winter seems to be no reason for true Canadians to wear a nice big jacket like tourists do, and no self-respecting Canadian will ever forego an outdoor activity to wait for a slightly warmer day. They experience the elements on a daily basis and seem fairly immune to the cold weather and snow.
