In the summer, at least. It's gorgeous. Only the toughened Canadians and Newfies can take it during the winter.
It's not quite as bad here in Toronto, but a few years ago I went to Ottawa during the holidays and can say without a doubt that I will NEVER do that again. It took about 20mins of prep time just to gather enough courage to run from the house to the car. The radiators were bursting, people were freezing at the bus stops, it was awful. I can only imagine the deep freeze in the maritime provinces, because I will never experience it first hand. From now on the I'm restricting my travels to the spring, summer and fall! Brrrrrrr ;)
