No, the question was, "Which country do you think has a better range of climates in your opinion?"

It's not the "climates" but the "range of climates" one is to vote on being better. "Better for what?" Diversity of flora/fauna? Variety of living conditions? The pollster didn't specify.

I think it would be better if Compare with Argentina.. and course Argentina surely Wins in the Diversity of both Climate and Landscape like Joe Knows,who range from Subtropical climate and Forest in Northeastern to a Subpolar Dead Winter Landscape in the South.

Oh, I did not understand it that way. My answer would then be Brazil.

Of course Brazil. Canada is an epic climatic failure with the northern half being all tundra. The Southeastern part might get semi-decent summers but the rest of the year is way too cold. The Southwestern part is the only part that stays above freezing much of summer but fails miserably in sunshine hours and having a proper summer.

Even Russia has Sochi for a decent subtropical climate that beats the pants off of anything in Canada.

Russia has a few decent climates actually (by decent I mean better than Canada), even aside from Sochi


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krasnodar#Climate
Crappy sunshine hours, but it's like Chicago with Philly winters and Baltimore summers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrakhan#Climate
Another Chicagoesque climate, except with the same winters but warmer summer and spring this time around

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuapse#Climate
Solid B climate right there, looks like an improved version of Seattle. Probably the second best climate in Russia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anapa#Climate
Southern coastal Jersey?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feodosia#Climate
NYC 2.0

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simferopol#Climate
NYC 3.0

Default rio grande

Most of these climates are hot and humid. They're far from "comfy". You forgot the cooler, more "temperate" Brazil climates like Pelotas. Because of that relatively mild city, I'm gonna have to go with Brazil. Canada is just overly cold. Even its mildest cities have rather cool winters (i.e. Vancouver, Victoria).

Brazil.

Canada is just "cold" to me, with a sliver of mild (but not mild enough) on the Pacific coast.

Philly and Baltimore are both warmer than Krasnodar in summer. And our record lows are no where near as cold as that place.


All in all Russia has some climates much better than Canada. As said before, Canada has not one decent subtropical climate. I'm biased against Canada though since from my earliest memory our tv weather folks in winter would always say "cold air from Canada". I think every tv weather presenter in America has said that one time or another lol.


That is why I always associate the place with bitter cold in winter and an icebox.

Russia FTW! lol
Funny to think that they had the winter Olympics in a subtropical climate.


Baltimore summers are a little warmer than Krasnodar, hon. By about 4 degrees.
