I DO NOT LIVE IN AN IGLOO.
I saw a commercial today depicting a “Canadian police chase.” The two cars couldn’t even move because of the huge amount of snow.
It really got me thinking of the ideas that people who do not live in Canada assuming that we live in igloos. NOW I AM NOT SAYING ERRRRYONE thinks we live in snow forts and ride polar bears.
And I appreciate those who realize we actually have the four seasons. I have a really good friend who lives in Louisiana, and I know that she really does not believe that we make snow cones for a living and sleep in our parkas.
I just think that the media has really given us Canadians a bad name. I mean, we do get super hot summers and cool springs. One day this past summer, the temperature actually reached almost 50 degrees Celsius, and I’m telling you people, that’s some HAWT weather.
People’s air conditioning was failing everywhere and we even had a rolling black out. Crazy man. I blame it on global warming.
Many of us have a love/hate relationship with winter. Me included. I hate snow, I hate the cold, and I hate the freaking slushyness that you get on the sidewalks and driveways after a light winter rain. It sucks, a lot. So here I am standing up for all Canadians saying that this stupid stereotype has to end, people.
Now, on a side note, I think living in an igloo would be pretty cool. So long as it was in my backyard where I had easy access to the house, and so long as nobody locked me out all night.
Also, I wish we had polar bears in Ontario. That would be seriously awesome. Even though, you know, they’re endangered and could rip me into a hundred pieces.
Now that I think of it - the mess would be too much to clean up and I don’t think the neighbors would appreciate the blood stained snow…
