I knew a Canadian girl who said she was always "hot" or "cold"

Women tend to have narrower ranges of thermal comfort than men.

Very true. Women are just more sensitive to temperature changes than men are. When fall comes and the cold starts to come in, you always hear the women complaining first, and more, than the men. I usually hear the men complaining in the middle of winter or near the end

Too cool for the winters for my liking, not enough sunshine hours. Although I don't get that bothered by the cold, I would much rather have it warm then cool/cold. Im Canadian and used cold weather, wear shorts and t shirt all the way down to 10 Celsius highs in springs/fall...guess its the canadian in me.

2700 sunshine hours not enough? That's far more than anywhere in Canada. How much would be sufficient for you?

Where I live we get 2400 annually and a few months Nov dec march are just gloomy and cloudy. So 300 extra would be good but not that much of a difference.

You live in Medicine Hat or the prairies of BC? To my knowledge nowhere else in Canada gets so much sunshine.

That could be why I can be comfy in just a bathing suit at 16 C and sun,
and a heat index of 46 C, still out in full sun.

I think you might be confusing short daylight effects with low sun hours.
The Prairies sees their cloudiest time of year with the shortest daylengths.

Prairies' sun is further skewed by having 17 hr days in summer,
so you really aren't getting as many sunny days as somewhere summer means 14 hr days.

Sunshine levels here are 2700-2800,
and winter, our cloudies time being as cloudy Toronto, just weeks before summer weather kicks in.

I don't find 10 hr long winter days with only 3 hrs of sun (worst 1-in-7 days?) to be terrible here.

Buenos Aires people is very exaggerated with their winters, humidity didn't intensifies the cold, only winds does.

For me MDP Climate it's nice but I prefer western argentina winters
