"... the cold Canadian winter weather makes ..." John, the high temp. on 1 Jan./14 in Vancouver, BC, Canada was 42ºF; while the average high temp. in Adelaide, SA on 1 July is 59ºF. Yes, it's somewhat colder, but hardly "cold Canadian winter". [Other temps may vary .]

And, I would say that "our Canadian friend" here seems to have a fetish for very well controlled "bladdered ladies", who can do "pretend" accidents for him upon request.

And as a final tease, , I hope someday you actually do get to be in snow, so you can then visualize the old saying, 'Don't eat yellow snow'.
