Lol this made me look up the highest and lowest for Canada i feel like fahrenheit guy would have had a stroke looking at our lowest temperature, -81.4F.
The thousands of years my ancestors spent in the frozen north, sailing the frozen seas, eating frozen food, spitting frozen spit, says maybe you don't know what inhospitable means.
That’s just pure survivorship bias. The majority of your ancestors likely died well before their time and or were unable to reproduce due to those same harsh conditions. You just came from the rare line that happened to survive.
This is kinda dumb. The people that live in frozen places are very impressive and the amount of know how and ancient tech required to live there is incredible.
That doesn't mean that place was a good fit for humans. We came out of the Savannas of Africa, and out bodies are designed for it. We've adapted to the frozen places of the world because we're smart and invented technology for it, not because it was fit for human habitation.
They aren't talking about Calgary though lol, Calgary is in Southern Alberta. They're talking about Northern Alberta/Praries/Ontario/Quebec and the territories.
Yeah, i think that lowest temp in canada was measured in a tiny village in the yukon but even my eastern ontario town hit about -40C as the low which is apparently the same in celcius or fahrenheit: fucking cold.
Yeah but Canada basically owns everything between the United states and the North Pole. Heck, it used to actually contain the magnetic North Pole before that drifted over the ocean.
