listen here, canadian, you may like it when your extremities hurt from how fucking cold it is, and love sweating because you have to wear layers to not freeze, but your nose is still cold, but some of us actually like feeling like we're warm enough and being ok with things being bright, visible, welcoming and comfortable.
Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 to 3 and you'll be fine.
EDIT: Unlike those random ass non summer months when it can rain or be shittier than usual at random, we know when it's too fucking hot or so sunny it will burn you; it's the same fucking time every day.
I live in Calgary. The 3 things Calgarians will invariably tell you are: 1) Calgary Olympics was the only profitable one and was well managed. 2) Tennessee barbeque is the greatest. 3) it gets to -40, but it's not so bad because it's dry cold.
Only one of those is unconditionally true.
is it this one?
Yup. They used it as an impetus to build public transportation infrastructure, turned the Olympic complex into a winter sporting area, and the athlete dorms into student/affordable housing.
Since then, public transportation has turned to dog shit for most of the city, but it works well for me. Plenty of people still use the winter sporting infrastructure (I think), and housing still exists even if everything around those areas are getting gentrified, which somewhat of a universal truth.
