Oh, wait ... :
Trust me, it's tough to get all 10 million square kilometres of Canada below freezing at the same time.
For every provincial capital to remain below the freezing mark, particularly Victoria, everything has to come together to hold the frigid air coast-to-coast. Victoria has only spent 28 days below the freezing mark for an entire day this century, and strong winds flowing from the continental high-pressure inland will make this a reality.

I saw over the weekend that in parts of our most hospitable Western provinces a minus 50 on the dread Celsius scale was easily achieved. A real tribute I thought to the efficacy of the carbon tax and the zeal of our Western friends to keep up the fight to keep their provinces colder than ever. And there were ever so many other spots, that while not going for the -50C goal readily boasted very impressive temps in the -40s, accompanied in many cases by wind-chills more ferociously cold than the coldest corners of that tiny instrument, a politician’s heart.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government is examining the merits of carbon tariffs, a policy measure to tax goods from countries with weaker climate laws that’s won the support of Boris Johnson.
