Palpali Gaule Both the pics I posted is of Lake Louise in Alberta. By the way some people have commented Canada of being awefully dead cold place to live. In my experience I didnt find northern United States to be any different from southern Canada because of close geogriphical proximity and similar terrian. Chicago gets snow up to march each year and so does Toronto. Snow does not to show up until late december in both the cities. More important thing is than that major bulk of the Canadian population (just over 85% of the Canadian population) lives about within 300 Kilometers of US border so there is little point even if the climate in the bulk of northern part of Canada gets -40 degree celcius in the winter and the winters are longer than than it is in the southern Canada.
