because Canada is cold.

Even though we love our outdoor winter activities (hockey, skiing, snowshoeing, etc.), winter is tough, and the cold often makes life miserable enough that we'll just wistfully forget about those winter activities and accept the warmth. (Weird, That feels a lot like Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb)

We're not going to suffer like the rest of the world, at least at not at first, so we're not going to put a lot of pressure on our politicians to stop the world from overheating. The rest of the world is going to have to do that. Yes, Canada has always thought of itself as a 'do the right thing' kind of country, and there's some merit to that, but in this case, we're not going to do anything, at least not soon enough.

Below the fold for why this is, in addition to 'it's cold here':
