What's wrong with Canadians?

This reminds me of the scene in the original Airplane! spoof movie from the 70’s. Won’t quote it here.

Good idea! I know the one you are thinking of though.

Do our friends in the US have the same problem?

Lately our news media has embraced "what it feels like" temperatures instead of reporting the "thermometer temperature"

Today's high is being reported as "we will see our high at what feels like -25oC" instead of "our high today is -11oC with a light breeze"

In winter the media are reporting a fake "what it feels like" calculated number vs the actual temperature based on the wind speed. The higher the wind speed, the colder "it feels".

In summer they ignore wind speed and report the "humidex temperature" which is a calculated number to make the temperature "feel warmer". So if it's 21oC (aka room temperature) they will report a humidex temperature that "it feels 30oC". But if you waved your arms the wind chill would make it "feel like" +15oC.

I think they should start reporting what it feels like to include other special interest groups.

"Today's high is -11oC. It feels like -25oC with the wind chill to many people. If you are over 80 then today's temperature feels like -50oC. If you are in menopause then today could feel like -30oC or +30oC indoors."

Everything is about feelings these days.

There are also issues with the funding and direction. There is outside direction. Ottawa is not a problem.

Watch the political comments, guys...even if I agree, you know the rules...

That must be like our liberals trying to tell us Washington isn't the problem.

Seriously, just stop now

Rules don't apply to you?
