Go figure. Either way, I respect Canada more than most other countries.

Being a former New Yorker, I agree that harsh weather leads to some togetherness. It's too much togetherness for me this time of year for sure. Alaska has few people per square foot though, sort of like Canada. You have to factor that into the situation too.
I also respect Canada more than most others.
