I grew up in a city that routinely saw -35C in the winter and I personally remember seeing (well, feeling) -40C. But don’t you think that the low temp e-peen measuring discussion is rather irrelevant? We’re talking about the temperature in Toronto, and whether that low temperature is killing people in addition to ones who would have died under non-emergency conditions. According to news reports, it is. My position is that Ford’s unwillingness to declare a state of emergency – not because of the cold but because of the regular city services’ failure to protect the residents from it – has contributed to this increase in the deaths. Do you disagree with this statement?
