Whether you admit to it or not, Canadians love talking about the weather. If you say the weather could be worse, another Canadian will immediately begin to converse.
Casually mentioning the depth of snow or how hard the winds might blow can start a friendship that will grow and grow.
Sidewalk strangers will trade smiles as if they’ve walked beside you for miles and miles.
In spite of what the politicians say, and they do ramble on day after day, it’s the weather that keeps us together.
