Sure does ... but a little cold is nothing to be afraid of. One winter I spent in northern Saskatchewan it quite often got down to -40c. But we clapped on snow shoes and went ice fishing, or out x country skiing, or out on the sleds, snowmobiles that is. But the winters are getting warmer all the time. Global warming is really here. Last xmas day we bbq'd!

But the winters in Ontario are not usually all that bad ... and it is nice to have 4 distinct seasons (unlike rain all the time ... had to get in that dig). Out on the west coast in Vancouver the winters are probably no colder than they are in Accy. And even if they were it is a small price to pay for the unblievable scenery. The Rockies and the Pacific! And if you like cool wet weather, there is always the Rock ... the great Province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I really hate to get serious about it, but in Canada we are blessed. We have it just as good as the Americans, maybe better. Someone once said that a Canadian is an unarmed American with medicare.
