Its better then the fringlish they speak on the west coast. I swear they invented their own language.
See, Canadian winters can get pretty damn cold but from experience I can tell you that here it usually stays around -5 on cold days. I mean occasionally it'll go to like -15 or something but thats usually an extream case like a snowstorm or something. So yeah, if your worried about winters, we are the best place to go to.
I should really be in sales...

it's all about the wind chill. Without wind it's pretty nice but the windchill can make things really uncomfortable.
Last year we had a few days that were about -40 celsius with the wind chill, so you'd walk outside and your nose hairs would freeze immediately. And this is for Southern Ontario lol
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

We're only Prarie 1/2 the time, the rest we're frigid tundra.
Of course our Summers are way hotter then most of Canada as well. When you live on a flat piece of dirt it really varies a lot.

At U of Ottawa, you can take pretty much any course in english or french immersion, which is cool. And then you can choose to take exams in english even if you did the course in french.
Personally I think it's a pretty good school. I'm taking / have taken a lot of math courses and I've found that they succeed in teaching me what I need to know. It's kinda hard to give you more than that without introducing my physicist bias towards math (ie. it's a tool and is only interesting as such). I have heard that at UBC, in math, material is spread over more courses than it is in other places but I don't have anything to back that up or refute it. The weather is pretty mild. Our winters consist mostly of rain. It usually only really snows about once per winter. If you're going to stay in residence I would suggest Fairview or Gage. You'd have to cook for yourself but even if you're a bad cook it's generally better than the food in the dorm style residences (Totem, Vanier). UBC is more or less a campus school but with really easy access to the city. The main campus is surrounded on three sides by water and on the other by forest. A quick bus ride will take you off campus and bus passes are included in tuition. Also, busses from downtown run until 4am (I think) every night except sunday night (monday morning really). We also have some good pubs on campus.
