Those shitty frozen, dark cities in Canada (e.g. Edmonton) are lower than the Scottish central belt. Scotland is warmer because of the Gulf Stream, but it gets less sunlight!
Sounds obvious, but this is why the US feels brighter and more vivid when you're there: the sun is literally higher in the sky, even in broadly comparable climates. And, yeah, Manchester and Edmonton are on the same latitude. It seems insane. The only major NA city further north is Anchorage.
#yeg is an amazing city. We have a fantastic standard of living. We are one of the fastest growing cities in the world, and yes it may get dark in December but we enjoy neatly 20 hours of daylight in the summer.
O’ and young people can still afford houses here, not cause we suck, but because we actually build them. We had more housing starts here than Vancouver, Toronto and even Calgary.
Edmonton catching shade AND literal darkness in this thread is pretty funny. It gets cold here sometimes and dark early in some seasons. Honestly, it only seems to impede the standard “wait until it’s dark enough to launch fireworks” people though out the year. I mean we do have streetlights here.
I fucking love the northern sea man. I mean with all that warm current shit that makes it so bearable here? Awesome. Love that stuff. And the sea lions? Awesome. (German, near the coast)
Natural Consequences always wait until

Lots of large low laying valleys and rivers, pleasant to view.
