The creator shot New Year's Eve footage in a t-shirt on Vancouver Island, where winters are mild enough to avoid visible breath. He pushes back on claims it was fake, explaining that most Canadians live near the US border in warmer climates than many American cities.
Okay, it's time I come clean. Yesterday I posted this video in which I was walking around in a t-shirt, no vapor coming out of my mouth. Some of you astute American viewers thought I'd used AI or shot it months ago, so here is how I actually pulled that off. It's not that cold up here. I shot it yesterday on New Year's Eve. I didn't shoot this video 3 months earlier either. Here's the news from today, okay? I have seen your comments. You guys picture Canada the way Hollywood pictures Mars, like hostile environment and no one survives without special equipment. Bruh, that's the Arctic. Yes, we have some people who live out there, but 90% of us live within a couple hours' drive of the US border, which means we live roughly where you live, just with better manners and fewer billboards for personal injury lawyers. I live on Vancouver Island. We have the mildest winter climate in Canada. There's grass outside, okay? Not frozen grass, not grass bravely poking through the snow like a war movie, just grass doing grass things. We have palm trees growing at our local airports, real ones, no one plugs them in at night. The average winter temperature in Toronto is warmer than Chicago. Vancouver is warmer in January than New York, Boston, or Detroit. Yes, we have Northern Territories, and it is colder than a beaver's ass up there, but for most of us, we do not live in igloos. Polar bears are not wandering through Canadian Tire asking where the oat milk is. Canadians, do me a favor, type in the comments what temperature it is where you are right now. Remember, the Americans don't use Celsius, so make sure you convert it to freedom degrees for them. We have weather data for almost everywhere in this country. The only exception is the remote Vancouver Island community of Mirror Falls, where a geomagnetic anomaly just west of town means planes can't fly over it to measure anything, and one of the town's elders thinks the government's doing it on purpose. If you want to know that story and were a fan of the Vinyl Cafe or Prairie Home Companion series, check out my new project, mirrorfalls.com. Me myself and I.
Ten times Canada helped the U.S. with its wildfires, instead of whining about the smoke.
