I'm only second generation Canadian, all my background is Scottish/English/Irish. I'm so pale I glow in the dark, the sun hits me and people go blind. I burn on cloudy days. I'm like a milk bottle. 15 degrees back home, everyone is shivering in their cardys. 15 degrees here, you're all naked, sweaty, beet root red and steamin' When I first moved here I was gobsmacked at the number of folks lining up for a dose of skin cancer After 4 shitty, wet, grey winters here I'm starting to see the allure of crisping oneself in the sunshine: it hardly ever appears lolol.
