I'm from the UK and having worked in Toronto as an expat was seriously thinking of moving the family out to Canada, because it was easy to get in, compared to other countries. But not Toronto. Too cold in winter, too humid in summer. I went to a job fair at Kempton Park racecourse in London, and BC was like, don't bother if you don't have a degree (I don't, dropped out), to Sashkachuan and Alberta who said if you can arrange a job upfront you're in. Then I took a look at the climate. Frost on the ground may recede by May. FFS, respect to you people who live there, but not for me. That's too cold for a Brit where May is blossom time.

Sashkachuan! Can’t spell it, don’t want to live there. FWIW lots of people enjoy winter as much or more than they do summer.

I work outside pretty much year round. Toronto has like 2-4 weeks in the summer where it's gross to be outside, and probably 4 weeks dispersed over a 3-month period in winter where it's too cold/snowy/slushy to be outside.
