I knew it would be mild before I went, but I wasn't expecting it to be "not raining". Each day temp was about 8 to 10 degrees during the middle of the day (About 50 degrees Farenheit) and usually some sun. Very little rain actually the whole week I was there. I was told by locals that it was normal for the area in mid-winter. Even at night it was minimum 3 or 4 degrees and, with very little wind, quite comfortable. Same time in back home in southern Ontario it was zero or minus 5 degrees in spite of (Toronto) being further south than Victoria. Vancouver was mild also, but experienced more rain there, disappointed actually with ski conditions as it was even raining at the top of Grouse Mountain most days. But, have also been to Van in the summer and experienced beautiful, beautiful, constant sunshine for the duration of the trip; ideal 24-degree temps; not 34 and brutally hot, muggy, uncomfortable like in Toronto much of the summer. However, here in Toronto we rock the country in the autumn in terms of weather. This past autumn, for example, it was 20 degrees (close to 70 Farenheit) on many days in October and even into early November. While at the same time only 10 or 12 degrees in Victoria and Vancouver. ...interesting that this conversation turned into a political "Trumpist" thread--ha ha! However, the last writer was exactly on the mark with their electon prediction, having written that comment in July. Re-last thread: Americans you can immigrate here (to Canada), it might be easier than you think--just have to go through the same (lengthy though!) application process as other foreigners. We have friends who moved here from Nebraska 6 or 7 years ago and did it totally legit/legal; they seem very happy here. It takes between 12 and 18 months to have the residency application processed. We don't have a lot of Americans immigrate here because they think it's cold all the time.Toronto Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17437729490558351939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261019116558379161.post-14057005345033797252020-07-27T08:16:34.118-07:002020-07-27T08:16:34.118-07:00Americans can't move there if we wanted to, gi...Americans can't move there if we wanted to, given Canadian immigration law. Can't say I blame Canada for their tightening of immigration requirements. But you do have a lovely area, and that's where I'd go if I could. Meanwhile Americans such as myself will watch in increasing horror as a dictator takes over our once great country. He will refuse to concede the elecion and then the end comes to what Ben Frannklin referred to as our "great experimnet". Ben might have been surprsed it could last 245 years, since a democratic republic had never been very long lasting in the history of humanity.
