Yeah, Calgary is cold in the winter, we get really bitter cold a week or two. But then, we get that Chinook arc and temperature rise up to minus single digit sometime even on the plus side for a week. That to me is pretty awesome, it's like opening presents kind of awesome.
When my brother and sister moved to California, they wore shorts year round for about 2 years. Now they wear sweaters if it's below 20C outside.
Yeah, I used to work for an IT company which has corporate office in Sunnyvale. I remember when I go down there in November, and it was plus 17 C, and I still smoked back then and when I went out for a smoke in my t-shirt. The girl at the reception was shocked and tell me to wear my jacket. I said why? It's balmy outside.
Are you guys being serious? Literally millions of people have moved to Florida in the last 20 years. It’s booming. I bet there are more high-net worth (over $20 million) people living in the Miami area than in all of Canada.

I've seen people shivering in the middle of the day, wearing a parka and toque, 15C outside.

Yet the average income is 29k
And if you are a gay teacher you have to hide your sexuality
And if you are a women you have less rights
I'm sure rich white men who miss the 1960s do love it though
I vacation there myself but let's not pretend it's some utopia

I've been in Kansas for 25 years save one glorious year back in Montana. I have not acclimated. It's 106 F today and I want to die. I wear shorts neary year round here. Always have.
I'd take the winters to avoid spending 3 months existing in Satan's breath.
I will never understand how people want to live in hot climates outside of any health benefits that may result for them personally. It's oppressive.
