Are the Great Lakes really inland seas?

I was born in Toronto but grew up on the west coast, then the interior of BC and now in Alberta, and I'll never leave the mountains, but I loved summers on Lake Erie. Ontario cottage life is very different from western cabin life. The recovery of Erie is a huge accomplishment and while humans should get some credit I believe most of it is due to the size and resiliency of the Great Lakes ecosystem.

And if we're keeping track: I'll take a freezing glacial mountain lake over the humid heat every time :)

I mean, honestly, I like both. And being a skier these days I just wish I lived out west, and near my family. But we've put our roots down here, and I fear for the climate future of BC and the political future for Alberta.

I was in Jasper 3 times in the last 8 months. Almost flew out there for a fourth this weekend (closing weekend @ Marmot Basin) but I have gardening to do :-)
