It’s a fun read but I concur with other commenters about it being a sarcastic rant about something the author doesn’t enjoy (probably because they are doing it wrong - also surprised a Canadian would complain about not having the right shoes given the “no bad weather, only bad clothing” mantra Canadians live by. ).
- ckdarby 6y agoI'm Canadian, I don't think I've ever heard another Canadian say that mantra and it does make sense to some degree. There is absolutely "bad weather" because I don't think anyone will call -30/-40C plus wind in the middle of winter as "good weather".
- claudiulodro 6y agoIt's actually a Scandinavian mantra. Basically something moms tell their kids to make them go outside and play regardless of weather.
- loloquwowndueo 6y agoI have heard Canadians say it - so it’s your anecdata vs. my anecdata :) Thanks to the replier who helpfully pointed out the saying originated in Scandinavia.
