EvilGentleman: Ah yes, I know this run well. Journeyed from Nunavut to Winnipeg by plane, then to Montreal and back by Greyhound. With my son, who was age six at the time. And that was all......

EvilGentleman: What cute little snowdrifts. I like the pictures, but I really get the impression that most Torontonians have no clue what a **real** Canadian winter is like. But I suppose you get lake effect storms......

in response to: Snow Day! by Michelle

EvilGentleman: Meh, it's 7 degrees at 6 AM here, and the other side of the river from here hit 15 a couple hours ago (check St-Anicet, QC). We're still buried in snow here, but that is hardly......

EvilGentleman: CartLegger, I lived in the land currently known as the Territory of Nunavut from 1991 to 1999, except for a two-year break in the mid-1990's. From 1999 to 2005, I lived in Nunavik, the Inuit......

EvilGentleman: Judging from the responses to his articles, I would say that Scott Sargent has managed to piss off a lot of people with the "Most Boring Towns" series. I personally do not find it wise......

EvilGentleman: The art, if authentic, should be supported by buying it. I personally feel the best way to buy native art is to go to an Indian reservation and buy it directly from the artist, wherever......

EvilGentleman: Of course, you drive the editors bonkers by really pushing the limits and posting a series of skyline picks for each province and territory. I can just imagine New Brunswick... Moncton, Saint John, Frdericton, Bathurst,......

EvilGentleman: Yeeesh, the things I do when I am on hold. I must first correct my first comment in this article. The Voyagers are space probes, not satellites. Sorry about that. Now, on to the serious......

EvilGentleman: Sorry to disagree, Chris, but post offices are still allowed in stores. Most Arctic communities have their {Canada Post} franchises located within general stores. When I first moved to {Coral Harbour}, Nunavut in 1992, the......

EvilGentleman: When I lived in Coral Harbour, Nunavut, we used to be overrun every summer with geese. After laying their eggs, geese shed their flight feathers, so they are flightless for two months or so, until......

EvilGentleman: I am surprised at how much of my weather training has been forgotten in the seven years since I last worked at the weather station. I guess that is why they made us work a......

in response to: Mt. Rainier & Lenticular Clouds by aer suzuki

EvilGentleman: As far as I can recall from my weather observer training, ACSL (altocumulus staing lenticular) are the result of high winds aloft, and can be formed by wind passing over mountains, but they can be......

EvilGentleman: Lemme see, in the NWT, only Yellowknife and Fort Smith, where I trained at Thebacha Campus of Aurora College for two months in 1998. Oh, but we also had a tour of Wood Buffalo National......

EvilGentleman: We used to call them "Last Air" in Nunavut, cuz they went mechanical so often. I was on an NWT Air flight from Yellowknife to Rankin Inlet on May 27, 1998. About 30 minutes into the......

EvilGentleman: When I lived in Coral Harbour, Nunavut, I remember people there would not hunt ducks. Not that they did not like ducks, just that ducks were so much smaller than geese, which were everywhere. The......

EvilGentleman: "Actually, this is the neighbourhood where I live and work. Very diverse, butt friendly." Biff, this has to be the world's most perfect typo. If it was done on purpose, I have to commend you on......

EvilGentleman: The first letters of Canadian postal codes denote the province or territory (or portion thereof) that the address is within, much like North American telephone area codes. The codes are: A - Newfoundland and Labrador B -......

EvilGentleman: I remember passing through Yellowknife on my way to study at Aurora College in Fort Smith. I had not seen a city for two years when I hit Yellowknife, since I had been living in......

EvilGentleman: Ironically, I have seen taller buildings in Iqaluit, Nunavut. And the buildings in Montreal were originally not allowed to be higher than Mount Royal (much like Halifax and the Citadel). Nowadays, the heights of the buildings......

EvilGentleman: I believe the itinerary of border crossings on my trip went something like this: By Airline: Nunavut, Manitoba By Greyhound: Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec By 1999 Pontiac Grand Prix from Avis: Quebec, Vermont, Quebec, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New......

EvilGentleman: I just consulted Google Earth to confirm what I had suspected: Reyjavik is at 64 degrees 8 minutes north, the **exact** same latitude as Coral Harbour, Nunavut, where I lived for six years. I can......

EvilGentleman: Having survived many a wintry blast in places as diverse as Nunavut, Montreal, Calgary, and Atlantic Canada, I can sympathize with your plight. And while your snowfall may seem incredibly light by Canadian standards, shovelling......

EvilGentleman: jeeff, thank you for the compliment. I was wondering how long it would take you to find this page. The area in these pictures that I used to live in (1999-2005) is called Nunavik, and......
