After minus 13 C temperatures early this morning, it's nice to see someone was able to take advantage of our recent freezing temperatures.

There are some cool scenes in Canada, too bad about the people.

We're having a sales meeting this week, and one of the sales guys is from the UK but has lived in Canada for a number of years. He mentioned that he'd traveled extensively in the US, and had never really been to a place he didn't like. I asked him what he meant, and he said among other thing people in the US had manners. He pointed out that he'd held the door at the hotel this morning for a couple, and they said "Thank you" as they passed through. In comparison, he said in Canada they wouldn't say anything, and if they were passing through first they'd let the door slam in your face.

Interesting perspective from someone with no skin in the game.
