Why Winter Sucks
In Canada, we are lucky to experience four distinct seasons: warm spring, balmy summer, beautiful autumn, and horrible winter. Most Canadians feel that winter sucks. These are people who do not know how to enjoy this season, which can last from the end of October to the middle of April in some parts of the country. Many Canadians do not relish digging out their snowbound car two or three times a week at six a.m. in -40 degrees. As well, others are not adept in the all-Canadian sport of tire ice-spinning. Another favourite winter activity is the icy sidewalk dance. This is a particularly interesting sport to watch in a city like Montreal, which has a lot of hills, and in which the street cleaners do not do their job their job very well. In order to enjoy winter, these unfortunate people will have to strap on their ice-cleats, install their winter tires, get out the snow shovels, and join the rest of us in having a great time for five or six miserable months a year.
