The two solitudes in Canada I am starting to believe are only partially related to Quebec. In fact the two solitudes in Canada are Winter and summer. Here in Calgary this morning I got to work at night at 6:45, When I looked out at 8:00 this morning it was still nights and now at 9:45 I see that it is now daytime.
being at a northern latitude in the middle of Winter here in Calgary we will have a 5 hour or so day while in summer the day nearly does not end. I get up in Summer and it is already well past the 5:00 dawn and go to bed during the evening at 10:00 when the sun is about to set. In Winter, in the deep of Winter I will not see the sun until about 9:00 in the morning and if I leave work at 5:00 it is already dark.
We are getting closer to that dark time then the all day of sun. It could be worse though, it is probably raining in Vancouver right now.
