Another thing..except for midsummer, it seems that the sun, when it is out, is always in your eyes. I always wear a cap/hat with a bill for relief from this situation.

Your latitude is too high.



High Latitude = Low Sun Angle (especially in winter)


As far as Canada goes, we're pretty southerly... About halfway between 44th and 45th latitude.

Southerly with respect to the arctic, yes. At 45 degrees however you
are half way to the north pole, and on the shortest day of the year
the sun will never get more than about 23 degrees above the horizon.
