As a proud Canadian, I willingly admit that Canada is a country that is best known for its cold weather and winter activities. However, it is important to note that Canada is not cold and snowy year round. I have met some people who actually believe Canada is simply a frozen tundra, but this is simply not the case. In truth, Canada gets all four seasons. Yes, it is much colder and snowier the farther north you travel into Canada, especially within the Arctic Circle, but I do not know anyone who actually lives in this region. I live in the northern half of Canada, so it does get cold and snowy here. However, this area also gets nice, warm summers. Obviously, not as warm as in the USA, but certainly nothing to complain about. I have friends in the USA, for example, who like to kid me about living in an igloo. Of course, this not true. I do not take offence to this, because I know they mean it in good fun.
