Excerpt from Canada as It Is Winter is a touchy topic with the Canadian. He never talks about it himself} He will tell you about the peaches grown in Ontario he will become rather pink with enthusiasm describing the wheat region of the West; he will provide you with a bag of pamphlets on where to get the best fishing and best Shooting, and he will remark, with a twinkle In his eye, -that it must be rather uncomfortable living in the English rains. Like his neighbour in the States, he thinks it good sport to bait the visiting Englishman on the awfulness Of the climate at home, where it is foggy when it isn't drizzling.
