I can recall a couple of years that a UN survey said that Canada was

The only thing wrong with Canada is the winters.

The silly part of such a statement an be seen in the fact that there
is
a very large winter sports/recreation industry, and that parts of
Canada
are, in fact warmer, than parts of the US, even if we leave out
Alaska.

Give me a choice of North Dakota or Vancouver, BC, I'll be happy to be
warm in Canada...

Yeah...but...we got South Florida and South Texas. Lots of Canadian
"snowbirds" down there, eh?!?!?!?!?!?! :-)
