We CAN agree it's all relative AND we don't diminish people's experiences.
It's like someone saying they lost a leg and they are suffering... but then someone comes along and says... you think you are suffering... I lost both legs..... I get it, both are suffering...

Embracing Winter in Canada
Many Canadians cherish winter for the myriad activities it offers. For instance, sliding down the slopes of places like the Blue Mountains can be exhilarating, though temperatures can plunge as low as -40Β°C! Chased me away last weekend.
Winter carnivals in Ottawa and Quebec showcase the festive spirit, while skating on the frozen Rideau River, especially enjoyed by Canadians from Carleton University to the University of Ottawa, makes for memorable experiences. Other beloved activities include visiting the iconic ice hotel in Quebec City, snowmobiling through snowy trails, cross-country skiing across serene landscapes, winter camping under starry skies, and ice fishing on tranquil lakes.
Despite facing harsher winters, residents in Manitoba and Eastern Canada embrace the cold with preparation and enthusiasm. The changing seasons offer unique perspectives and experiences, making winter an integral part of the Canadian identity.

What a simple remark to make, if the Dr. who is living in Ja reports that she is cold when the temp is 61 and required a Sweater, believed her. At 61 degrees in JA you should wear such attire. I am assuming that when the temp reaches 10 below you are outside in Shorts.

In Canada 61 deg F is not classified as cold.
Air Conditioning systems in Summer days are set at about 68 deg F...
At 10 deg C , many Canadians wear Bermuda shorts.
Its presently minus 14 deg C.....to my vehicle and off to Supermarket, I am wearing two Tee shirts and blue Jeans ....not a problem.
Old Seniors will have problems it depends on their blood circulation. (feet and hands)
@Halliwell
nuff ppl jus' jump on posts and spoil it with self-centeredness. Don't matter if it is about death or illness
@Halliwell
Some on this Mb like to post bear shoite, if the Dr. said she is cold @61deg that is cold for Ja. accept it. As a kid in Bim during December in the early morning many wore sweaters.
@sgtdjones
My, my! That's some serious temps you guys are experiencing. Didn't I hear somewhere that it was so cold there for so long that the falls are not 'falling' anymore, and that the area is to be renamed Niagara Stills? HeHeHe!
@Chrissy
That 1977 winter is indelible in my mind. Extreme and extended cold spell in the Yankee northeast too, spawning even a blizzard. I was at lunch in the canteen at uni when the weatherman remarked that there were reports of snow flurries in the Blue Mountains in JA. (Never was able to verify with anyone back home though.)

I have family & friends in T.O who do this every year... matter of fact, it's coming up shortly, this month. I offered to join last year, but I couldn't really convince myself I really wanted to go/have that experience. It looks good tho from all the pics and videos I've seen from their past trips.

Sad; "officious Aholes" is certainly the right way to describe them. Maybe a child will get sick and his/her parents file a lawsuit.
