REER Canada; how do you handle living in such cold ?

[GemState]

I used to live in northern Canada and man, oh, man. You better have a flashlight, booster, and a blanket in your trunk just in case. It hits 40 and 50 below there with the wind chill. You will die if you’re not smart. Streets are like skating rinks. You will get frostbite. Mashallah though. It’s good to experience such extreme weathers a few times a year. It’s humbling to cry for relief. The real fear of your furnace turning off is the worst. You’re dead if it turns off and the technician can’t come.

The winter isn’t too bad, honestly. There a couple of days in the season where it reaches -40s with the windchill, I just don’t leave the house.
Once it reaches -10, I put the parka away.

Canada having tropical weather like Malaysia is worth like losing half of GDP. Good weather makes life 5x better. Man was meant to live in places like this

-40 is crazy, wouldn't even visit a country if it was -10 degrees

It's best to experience all 4 seasons in the year.

-40 is the more tolerable extreme than +40 if you're layered.

Get underlayers they're a game changer and a good pair of socks (waterproof and insulated)

I enjoy the 4 seasons, it’s a good measure of time and gives me something to look forward to. People in the tropics won’t understand this:
