Toronto, and Montreal's July average highs of 26.6ºC make them hotter than both Sydney, and Melbourne's 25.9ºC average January highs.
Ummm....Sydney and Melbourne CBDs aren't most of Australia.... You've only got to a few km inland from the Sydney CBD to Parramatta and that number climbs to 28.4 for example. Go a few km more to Penrith and its 31.

Yep. That sea breeze adds $300-$400k to a home price.
Parramatta is more or less the geographical centre of Sydney too.

Fair enough, but he was responding to a post about "not having real summers". Even with the differences of a few degrees, summers in the Montreal and Toronto areas are basically the same as in the Melbourne and Sydney areas, with outdoor swimming (in pools or at beaches) possible almost every single day, or any other summertime pursuit is entirely viable.
If any Australians think that summers in most of the major Canadian cities are for example like those in the UK, they are dead wrong.
They'd feel right at home here during the summer. Trust me.

That's not the point. Summers are too hot for me at 26.6 as it is, so I certainly wouldn't want hotter, but your statement was that most of Canada doesn't get "real summers," while I just demonstrated that Canada's two largest cities do in fact have high summer temperatures. Most Canadian cities have 4 distinct seasons, including a hot summer, and snow in the winter = my ideal climate.

This is interesting...
To state that Aus doesn't have four distinct seasons is OK, even though a lot of the country does while other parts have equally distinct but different tropical seasons. But to reply that equally, a lot of Canada does have real summers is somehow controversial?
