It can get quite cold, we are in northern Canada after all, but also have nice summers and generally winter temperatures are great for skiing, skating, and the like.

It´s really awesome.

Is there a RÈSO like Montreal?.

Yes and no... not to anywhere near the extent, but we do have a pedway system with above, at, and below grade connections.

Hi Coldrsx,
I got error while checking your edmonton link. Kindly check the link and if possible upload some picture of edmonton.
I want to know what are the disadvantages of living in cities where the temperature exceeds up to -46 Celsius!!

-46 would have to be the coldest day ever recorded in Edmonton.
It can get uncomfortable outside when the temperature dips below -20 but you can bear it if you dress properly. Ice will form on your beard and eyelashes, in extremely cold weather -30 or greater your icy eyelashes will try to freeze you eyes shut if you blink. Probably the most uncomfortable effect you will notice is a runny nose, and pain in your fingertips, ears, and toes if they aren't sufficiently covered.

That looks stunning! I wish we had views like that in the UK. The winter scene looks beautiful.

Winter is indeed beautiful, -46 not so much.

That first pano is awesome! The city looks like a mini-Toronto from that angle.
