a Nice day eh we usually come back with a theres a big in from the West Or it supposed to rain all next week Canadians know without being told that if a winter week has been sunny and sparkling it s going to snow and blow on the weekend They are positive that if the summer has been ideal warm and dry and delightful so far it will be cold and wet when its their turn to go on holidays The weather is so much a part of our national psyche that it a wonder it crept politics On second thought it has Ejections are carefully geared so that they don occur in midsummer when nobody gives a damn about politics nor in mid winter when it too cold to get out to vote so enthralled are we with the weather that well probably have a couple or guys running for prime minister who are weather forecasters And the ones who gives us the most horrendous forecasts will win in a walk I am not sneering at my fellow Canadians obsession with the weather I as bad as the next There nothing enjoy more on a winter day than blustering in from the cold tearing off my boots and overcoat and asking all and sundry Did you ever see such a rotten winter And sure enough someone will retort we had two feet more snow this time last year In summer I sizzle around the golf course my body not my score and whine with the best of them Isn t this brutal My lawn is baked black It was in our bedroom last night And one of the

into the office in the middle blizzard What in the Sam Hill are you doing out on a day like this And I discover that she thought the baby needed some fresh air and pushed the carriage through the snow for half a mile Her indifference to our great Rational conversation piece infuriates me We had a bitter quarrel just this week I d been out In the car and told her the guy on the radio said it was downtown She said she believe him With a touch of warmth I repeated what the guy on the radio had said Ninety six degrees It couldn be Because it doesn feel that hot And what does it matter anyway You can see why I blew my top Matter What could be more important There is no single element in this country that is more important to us Canadians than our lovehate relationship with the weather In fact it may be the only thing that will hold this country together when all the refer endum been taken Speyside preschool hangs on boards OK l Steps are being taken by some parents and George towns YWCA to
