Canada, the Land of Infinite Winter

It has happened to us all, you travel somewhere warm and sunny and someone local asks you where you are from. You proudly tell them you're Canadian.  "Canada!? That must be cold! Do you have snow there?" They ask as they start to shiver, like the word Canada chills them to their core and makes their body temperature drop a degree or two. You try to explain that Canada does see it's fair share of snow but that it is not a land of perpetual winter, despite our horrific ice storms and the odd September snowstorm we do have a summer and it does get hot. Your explanation will not change their mind, but that won't stop you from explaining it to the next person that asks where you are from.

The Canadian Summer

The Canadian summer starts near the end of June. It is around this time that our igloo's melt away and we are left with no choice but to find cover elsewhere.

No we don't live in Igloo's, but the Canadian Summer is as gloriously short as it is spectacular. At least, that’s what you remember during our 3 seasons of winter and you’ll want to keep it in mind as you inch your way along the 400 series highways as you make your way to the fishing hole, cottage, trailer or campsite in Ontario's vast cottage country.

This post is a public service announcement from Real Man Travels to inform you that there are 66 days until the end of August. Get out there and make those days count!
