So, you didn't get the long form census?

@mayintoronto thanks we could all use more joy in our lives. Plus I actually want to know the results!

@tod I am absolutely laughing my head off at "How do you describe your local winter to someone from another country?" "Honestly and they don't believe me" because I really just did this like one thousand times in New Zealand and they really just can't wrap their heads around the fact that temperatures below -40C are physically possible on this planet....

@sundogplanets @tod Canadian living in New Zealand and my children have no idea. They have been to Canada in summer and picture it as *only* a place of muggy summer days for canoeing by the lake

@tod
As an expat, this transported me back to a time when I was sitting on my parents' Chesterfield

@GodsoeWilliam @sundogplanets @tod Even the -20°C nights in Connecticut and western New York are beyond belief here (in New Zealand). I was telling someone a few days ago how it's not cold enough to produce good snow here and was told "But – but – but – it used to be colder – so cold that Lake Rotoiti froze and people went ice skating on it" and really they don't have the physical-world reference to imagine very cold at all. Nor that snow could be anything other than the two kinds that they've experienced.

@tod Okay, this was fun! Thanks for making something for the Canadian nerds

@tod how do you give directions? "Down the road, left at the beer store, then a bit down and right at the Tim Horton's"

@tod I thought of an extra question after I finished: CBC Radio or CBC television?

[starluna@mastodon.social]

@tod Love the identity questions. I'm not Canadian but looking forward to seeing the results.

@tod As a French speaking individual, I feel a little left out!
