North Americans are too soft.

I live in Toronto and it's wonderful to have nice streets that you can walk and bike on, even at ±30C.

I thought Toronto was part of North America...

Also, doesn't Montreal have the Underground City specifically for staying out of the cold in the winter?

Yes and many people here, especially outside of the downtown / in the GTA, act like being outside for an hour is unbearable and that suburbs and cars are the only fix. They aren't.

Toronto also has a large underground section downtown.

As my brother-in-law in Maine says, "There's no bad weather, just bad clothing."

Peach Brother! ;)

I used to be much more resilient but now would prefer a warmer climate, bring on global warming!
