As a native Torontonian, I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed with the unabashed woosification of so many of my fellow city dwellers. My favourite term was "Snowtorious BIG" for the snow storm, which really isn't that bad.
I got to work in decent time and expect my drive home along the 401 won't be overly terrible, although I'm crossing my fingers.
What the snow storm did show me as that we're getting soft as a society. We cancel schools, work, and events for what might be before it even arrives. As Canadians, we are a rugged group of individuals capable of enduring what most others in the world never could: a Canadian winter. Never mind that Torontonians also have to endure an endlessly pathetic hockey team that has no hope of winning any time in the next decade.
So I encourage Torontonians to buck up, gear up, suit up, and endure the winter like they do in Edmonton and other sun-forsaken areas of the nation.
Never mind that global warming is producing colder temperatures, more snow, a lack of hurricanes, more rain, floods, and chaos despite what Al Gore and other lefties promised in the past, we'll continue to endure ice, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail, and snow covered driveways with frozen car doors and salt stained pants.
