I’ve been spending a lot of time with a friend who just arrived this week from Ukraine, and her first shock is she doesn’t think Canadians dress properly for the weather. “Melissa, today I do not wear hat, like Canadian woman” was day two. “Melissa, see that man, no coat!” Today it was +3 and she audibly gasped when she saw a toddler in a stroller in ski pants and a couple layers of thermals with a coat off, I had to reassure her the parents didn’t need to be charged
@Doubleemmartin LOL, Canadians, am I right? 
@Doubleemmartin You better warn her about those guys who wear shorts year-round.
@Doubleemmartin @CeciliaBell just saw a guy outside in shorts an hour ago.
@CeciliaBell I dread what she’ll think when she encounters the first of those guys
@Doubleemmartin don’t let her see pix of John Fetterman! (Also, I’m so glad you’re here. I love it. More #curling and it will be perfect)
@Doubleemmartin +3⁰C here and I saw a woman in Daisy Dukes getting into her van. I thought, That's a choice.
@pjohanneson I used to be that girl so I can’t judge
@Doubleemmartin Doesn’t Ukraine get similar weather?
@TagAlongDeb it does and tbh I’m not convinced the clothing approach is that different, but she absolutely insists it is, and either way it’s such a funny observation to me
@Doubleemmartin I think people have a kind of momentum when it comes to clothes. They keep wearing appropriate for previous weeks. Same thing happens in spring, when ppl wear their parkas too long
