Reminds me of the film Quai de brumes where there is a small honky tonk called Panama. The owner likes to think back to the time where he was there, and no one is allowed to say it is foggy in Le Havre. He insist that it is hot and sunny.
Maybe you don't allow people to say that it snows in Canada.
It rarely snows in Vancouver, much less than in New York.
Seems I have a bit too stereotype view of Canada.
