(Linkage) Mister Adam For His Madam Is Not

Apparently Environment Canada released a report detailing climate information about the different provinces and territories.  Some are obvious to anyone (eg. Nunavut has the coldest winters), but that's not the reason for posting this.

Nope, the reason for posting this is the Globe and Mail article on it, which is based largely around the surprisng fact that the winner for warmest summers was New Brunswick.  Surprising?  I think anyone who's spent a summer here could have guessed at that.  My favourite quote, though, is this one:  "New Brunswick had the hottest summers — but we always think of it as a foggy province"  I think that they've been looking at too many news feeds from Saint John and photos of picturesque fishing villages.

Ok, all sarcasm aside, it is an interesting list.  I'm really curious as to what the list would have been like without the three territories included — given that anybody could have pegged them as the three top locations for coldest year-round and coldest winters.

The list is pretty interesting.  And the fact that BC took the top seven most comfortable cities is no surprise.

I'm very surprised that Nova Scotia gets the "warmest year round" honour, though.  Seems like BC should have gotten that one, too.
