What's 'too hot' and what's 'too cold' is pretty subjective for what it's worth. I think this forum spends way too much time arguing about cherry-picked edge cases. Discovery Island is a tiny uninhabited island off the shores of Victoria, BC. We all know Victoria, BC is going to have the mildest, most pacific-dominated climate in Canada by far, but to get those tendencies even stronger people pick something that's naturally even more maritime and thus even less likely to see freezes in winter.
Of course, no-one lives there and most people don't spend their time just sitting on a boat in the Haro Strait either, but people are trying to prove a point rather than talk about the relevant facts.
Victoria
is Canada's climate 'jewel' for those who prefer mild winters and cool-ish summers, but that is naturally because it's a colder adjusted version of the U.S.'s West Coast climates. There's no mystery or magic about it. Nature doesn't care about the U.S./Canadian border.
