Is to present the most alarming case for a given set of facts?

Hey, you've got all that underground concourse in Montréal: that counts for a lot!

Not really... it doesn't extend out to KW. Nor does Winnipeg's extensive winter protected walkway system. Not that I need the protection from cold, I come from NW Ontario, so the winter's here are at least 10C warmer... my only complaint is that the snow down here isn't dry, and heated sidewalks would fix that.

But more importantly, that was actually part of the point of that episode... Canadians losing their love for winter and hiding inside from it until spring and complaining, while the Russians and Scandinavians still have an outdoor winter culture and enjoy winter.
