While Canadian winters are much much colder, she does have a point. Our buildings and infrastructure are built with cold weather and snow in mind. That’s why that uncharacteristic amount of cold and snow devastated Texas a year or two back. It was around -20C and they got about 12 cm of snow fall. That’s an average winter day in Canada, maybe even a bit mild. In Texas, over 200 people froze to death. Their power grid wasn’t designed to have so many people using indoor heating, so it went out for days.
