I'm not nearly as hefty as I used to be so I don't have two shirt days any more. I've dropped 54 lbs since May so I get cold all the time it seems. There was one time in early September that I actually wore socks to bed!

Moved here from Calgary back in October, never looked back. Enjoy the weather back home, fellas!

I find it kind of funny that a bunch of Canadians are yakking back and forth about who has the nicer weather.
I think you have to live in Penticton or something if you want to live in Canada and brag about how great the weather is year round.

Unless you actually like the winter. 
There is something I hate about each season and something I love about each season, but I especially like that I get to enjoy 4 different seasons each year.

Yeah seasons are nice. They are a little unpredictable though. Last year on November 22 it was +22. This year on November 28 it was -31.
I like the winter as well, but yesterday was brutal. Today though it's supposed to be -12. With the sun shining like it is, that's a pretty good winter day.

Isn't Lake Ontario bigger than England? My cousin was terrified of the huge mountains we have in Calgary. He thought we were going to die due to lack of air LOL.

I know there are other lakes, but yeesh...
It is estimated that the 20 cities evaluated, representing a third of the region’s 35 million people, dump more than 90 billion litres of untreated sewage into the Great Lakes each year.

Actually, the past couple of years I have thought that the winters seemed more like Ontario winters than the ones I had expected. Instead of winter interrupted by the occasional Chinook it has been Chinook interrupted by occasional winter. 
One thing that takes getting used to is the fact Calgary is further north than southern Ont so if I want to see daylight I need to go out at lunch. It's dark when I get to work and dark when I leave right now.

Come on now, you live in Kitchener, not South Beach.
According to the forecast it's actually going to be warmer here than there next week.

I have to admit, I hate the weather in Calgary. Regardless if we get the odd chinook every few weeks, its still cold here. The winters are still long and cold, despite the sun. The summers are not very warm and short. In addition to summer nights being cool as well.
Some people will say that being cool at night helps one to sleep better, but I am used to AC, having lived in Florida, Ontario, etc. So that makes no difference to me. Heck, I will take the rain and lack of sun in the winter like Vancouver than have to deal with Calgary weather. Its nice to be able to walk around during a summer night without having to carry a damn jacket.
Though I shouldnt complain as I chose to live in Calgary due to the good economy, so have to deal with the negatives that come with living here. It would be absurd to expect good weather in anywhere in Canada, especially Calgary, since we are in the prairies. Ontario is not much better, but the winters are a little more bearable. Wet cold, dry cold, meh...its all the same, its cold.
However, the first sign of an economic slowdown and a career opportunity in a warmer place, I am outta here for sure.

So the hole in the Ozone (that is supposed to protect us from sunlight) is actually making it colder and not hotter?
The whole Global Warming roadies have always said the problem is that the Earth's average core temperature will increase so as to melt the polar ice caps and flood coastal cities.
So what is it, does Global Warming make it colder or hotter cause if it makes it colder, its no wonder it doesnt sell well in Alberta 
I know what you mean (and I think everyone else here does as well) but either the Global Warming fanboys need to take alook at their numbers or something is amiss because its alot damn colder in Calgary this year as opposed to the last two - I have only lived here for 3.
