Why do people in Canada complain about the temperature?

All over my Facebook page and even the Canadians from Canadia that I work with do it. All day, I get weather reports from some godfosaken zit in the countryside of Canadia about how cold it is, how much snow has to be shoveled and what the windchill is. Half of them claim to make plans to move "South". But Canadia doesn't have a "South". The whole country is North. I mean, what did they think was going to happen in a country nicknamed "The Great WHITE North"?
It's like the people that live at the end of a runway who complain about noise. Or the people on Staten Island that complain about the smell from the dump. Well, why do you live there? You don't hear people in NJ complaining about the smell (mostly because it's Staten Island that stinks and they just blame it on Jersey and take a bath in cologne). You don't hear people in Maryland complaining about all the homicide (they seem morbidly proud of it!). Why can't people just do like those people do and accept it and move on? Or, well, just move on?

We had snow, lots of it. Then, the next day it was warm and rainy.
What the hell?
Screwed me all up, allergies made me sick...

It's mind-boggling. People from Seattle complaining about the rain, people from Palm Springs complaining about the heat.... none of it makes sense, and yet I see it all the time.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

If you only had a few hours of twilight per day, you'd be miserable and complain a lot too."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

Well, to paint a picture. Last year on this time, I has well over 4 feet of snow in my driveway. At this point, I am thinking about the $420 I just wasted on winter tires that I have barley had need for.
Bah, rain in Maine during December....who would have thought.Receiver

I live in Texas and **** about the hear all the time. I realize that I could move, and want to move, but family obligations have me stuck here for now.
Sure I have a choice as to whether or not to move out of this godforsaken hell hole, and I choose to stay for various reasons, but having a choice between bad options doesn't negate my right to complain about the effects of the choice that I've made, people do it all the time.
I realize the post was more rhetorical and I get what yer sayin', just sharing an alternative perspective. -
Whether you still have a "right" to complain about the weather or not, no one wants to hear it. And if yo udo it "all the time", I promise that everyone you complain to hates you.If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

I lived in Texas all my life...and am slowly migrating North. I like the weather here...sure its not 75* year-round with a cool breeze...but I'd much rather deal with triple digits the sub-freezing.
I complain more about the 'cold' (below 50*...haha) than the heat...and we have a lot more heat!
I don't really ever plan to live north of the Mason Dixon line...haha.
I love being able to ride my motorcycle year-round!

That's why most of the people we see at our vacation condo are Canadians. Winter season is the high season as it's nice 70-80 degrees there versus minus digits in Canada. We are escaping this cold Texas weather later this week to go there.
-
Coz Canada is so frickin COLD? No no. Make it FROZEN!
-
Why do people,in general,complain about EVERYTHING? I guess it's just human nature!!If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.
-
I don't know .... they say, "Why complain about the weather if it doesn't do any good ?", but I've found the opposite to be true.
I've found that if I complain long enough and loud enough to everyone I know about the weather, sure enough .... the weather will change !!
It may take a couple of days, or even up to a week, but this is where dedication comes in. You can't quit ! Keep complaining !Sal Palooza -
I guess the same reason why people in the south complain about heavy rain, tornados and hurricanes.
-
Well I might as well complain about the snow storm and cold we are getting here again in northeast ohio I love animals, they're delicious!

My complaint is that there is not enough snow. Oh sure it snowed Sunday all afternoon ...then it rained all freakin' night! Give me SNOW SNOW SNOW and COLD COLD COLD...well not too too cold. I've got this 10K snowmobile that's sitting in the garage waiting for snow.

Funny, I have a brand new never used snowblower waiting to be used. Every time they say we are going to get a big dump, I get excited then we get nothing. Soon though I know we will get it. -

Funny coming from you...

I think people **** just to ****. It's either too cold, too hot, too cloudy, too sunny, it rains too much or not enough blah blah blah. People as a whole just aren't as tough as they used to be I guess. With all the modern conveniences we have we don't have to deal with weather as much as we used to, but in spite of this people have grown soft.
Personally, I like seasons. If you want to build a snowman, or have a snowball fight it requires snow. Having an airball fight or building an airman just isn't as fun . I like the rain, it helps my garden grow. If it's cold, I get to break out my winter clothes. I like not wearing the same thing every day. If it's sunny then I can get a tan, if it's hot then I can go to the beach or the pool. Extreme temperatures aren't much fun for anyone, but rarely these days are they life threatening. Other than the heating or cooling bill there really isn't much to **** about. "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

meh....I am happy where I live. On the lake! If it's hot I swim in the lake. If its cold I build a fire in the fireplace. I live out in the country, most of my neighbors are deer, coyote, wild pigs etc. And no, I am not listening to 'A Country Boy Can Survive' right now. --Gary--

As a native of southern Canuckastani I actually like winter.errr ..atleast some of the time...It's tongue-in-cheek. No harm, no foul, just some poking good fun.
Right now in our region we have far less snow than places like Minn. -
Ah, maybe simply because we Canadians simply love to complainWhy do people in Canada complain about the temperature?
Yes, Yes and Yes :cool:That's why most of the people we see at our vacation condo are Canadians. Winter season is the high season as it's nice 70-80 degrees there versus minus digits in Canada. We are escaping this cold Texas weather later this week to go there.
We do get lots of rain at times, but when it comes to tornados and hurricanes :eek: (which we do not experience much in Canada) well, when I think of it I stop my bitching:frown:I guess the same reason why people in the south complain about heavy rain, tornados and hurricanes.

Hey, I am not in a hurry to use the snow blower. It is there just in case but I would certainly not complain if I didn't have to use it for the entire winter.Funny, I have a brand new never used snow blower waiting to be used. Every time they say we are going to get a big dump, I get excited then we get nothing. Soon though I know we will get it.
Seems like your glass is almost always half full :cool:I think people **** just to ****. It's either too cold, too hot, too cloudy, too sunny, it rains too much or not enough blah blah blah.

* Its cold and dark in the morning and I don't want to get up...sniff...Why do people in Canada complain about the temperature?
* I have to crank the heat up and freeze my naked butt in the cold shower before going to work...sniff...sniff
* I have to stand in the cold scraping my deeply frosted windows before the car can hit the road...sniff...sniff...sniff
* I often have to shovel the driveway before I can take my car out of the driveway...sniff...sniff...sniff...sniff
* Either I spend extra fuel money (expensive like gold in Canuck land) to warm up the car while doing the above painful tasks or I leave in a cold car which is barely warm when I get to work 30kms/1hour later...sniff...sniff...sniff...sniff...sniff
* I am very reluctant to leave work as I know quite well (not always but often) that even if I have done my hard day's work I will come home in the cold and dark evening and will have to work an average of 1 hour shoveling/snowlbowing the snow of my driveway before I can get in...sniff...sniff...sniff...sniff...sniff...sniff
* One would think that the nightmare is over but NO :frown: The snow plower hasn't yet done its evil carnage so; Either right after I am done or maybe around midnight, the evil snow plow pushes the snow right back into my tiny car parking space :eek: so I now have to start ALL over AGAIN (either that night or the next morning) :mad:
I hate winters, I am afraid of winters, I dread winters, OH God why me, why me
What have I done to PI$$ U off :redface:
I prayed GOD for mercy and JUSTICE, I asked him to move the SOUTH to Canada and move the NORTH to the USA for a change and to share the pain, but he doesn't listen to me. What have you guys done to him to be so BLE$$ED
Well, on a serious note I also often thought of moving to the South but I would have to move away from family/relative which are the SUNSHINE in my life so, I swallow our Canadian winters and see my glass as being half full :cool:DARE TO SOAR:

What I have noticed is the older you get the more the cold bothers you. I for one now hate the cold. I use to love winter , I use to like shoveling snow as I felt is was a great work out. I use to love going tubing and sleding , building snow men and all that winder wonderland fun stuff. Now I want to be warm and hate going outside. I get chills in my back.All over my Facebook page and even the Canadians from Canadia that I work with do it.

I live in South eastern Pa outside of Phila and it gets damn cold hear. I would love to move out west or at least south enough to avoid snow or temps below 40 deg F .
I'm willing to bet all those people didn't mind the cold as much as they do now. Unless of course some are women who hate the cold anyway any age.Dan

Hey hoser, lets see how YOU like it eh, when you have to leave your igloo every day to re-fuel the generator in -40 degrees WITHOUT the windchill. It is a cold you just can't get used to. We'd all love to move south (and we mean Florida or California when we say move south) but the dog team can't drag a sled once the snow runs out eh, and we just don't know how else to travel! Either way though, thanks for thinking of us friend. It's nice to know we have good neighbors who have us on there mind. Come up for a beer anytime eh!

Why do people get on the internet to **** about people who ****???

Twilight isn't even allowed in Canadia dude. Didn't you get the memo? :rolleyes:
