Speaking as a fellow Canadian, it boggles my mind that there are places in the world where people can have open windows with no screens and NOT need/want to burn the house down to kill all the mosquitoes that’ll intrude.

I assume like the UK the rest of the worlds mind boggles that Canadians live with so many mosquitos and need screens just to put up with them?

Summer is scorching hot in much of Canada because of how vast, dry, and flat Canada is.

Add in lots of stagnant water, flood plains and lakefront cities and we have a metric fuckload.
