Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the cold weather, but it's about to dip below zero fahrenheit here in the States and I'm already thinking about bouncing to someplace warm for a few weeks.
Jeez

I've lived in Madison, Wisconsin and Phoenix, Arizona for lengthy periods of time in my life. Whether it be the -20 degree wind chill hitting you in the face off the lake or the 120 degree summer day you get used to these elements very quickly and just stay indoors as much as possible. Really not that big of a deal. Put on the heat or crank up the AC. When being outside for over 30 minutes is a semi health hazard just stay indoors or in your car and get to the location you need to get to and then get indoors again as quickly as possible if you are a lil biatc.h. I have also found having numerous alcoholic beverages helps with the cold especially.

You want to stay warm when it's -40c, you spend money on your winter clothing.
Staying indoors if you can is solid advice as well.
Doesn't that get depressing after a while ? I used to live in New England (not nearly as desolate as Alberta), but the first time I found the tropics, I was hooked and knew I'd never leave. I guess we're all wired different.

Went to school at the very top of NY state. It's cold as sh!t, but you get used to it. Your body adapts. Spring was literally when the low for the day was above freezing. Amazing how warm 60 degrees feels when it was below freezing for 4 months.

Believe it or not you do get used to it. I am not Canadian but I have lived in a few Canadian Cities over the past dozen years and you do get used to it.
I remember when I first moved to Toronto it was late April, 2003 and it was 12C degrees. To me that was cold. I was wearing a jeans, a t-shirt, sweater and thick jacket and I was still bloody cold. Come December it was back down in single digits and I remember calling friends to go out for a beer and they were telling me how cold it was and I was telling them that it wasn't that cold. They reminded me that I was the guy who earlier that year was freezing his nuts off when it was 12C degrees.
The moment that I finally knew my body had grown accustomed to the cold was late March 2004. It was the first time in 4 months that the temperature had reached double digits ( it was 11C degrees that day ). I was wearing a pair of shorts, t-shirt and a sweater and I went and got an ice cream and sat in the park and read the newspaper. If it was 11C where I grew up I would be in front of the heater eating hot soup and wearing 3 layers of winter clothing.
That's when I knew that I had finally got used to the Canadian cold.

Best time to snowmobile is below zero....more horsepower.
Like everything else, you get used to it. Get the right equipment/clothes and you are fine. Only thing that pisses me off is all the extra time required to get dressed and to take crap off. And nice clothes generally aren't that warm!!
Personally, I'd take the cold over the oppressive heat any day.
