ASSIGNMENT #5

TOO COLD FOR 1800's? :

It seems that the early settlers must have had a pretty rough time with winter when they first migrated to Canada .Altho they had a lot of firewood to keep warm, they must have a lot of trouble hunting especially since many animals hibernate during the winter .The early settlers would have had to go fishing for food, and in order for them to do that they would have to go to the water and dig very deep to be able to get to the water and then wait for the fish to bite and it would be very cold, I'm talking -43 degrees .The life for them must have been pretty painful because they would have to do everything them self from growing crops in the winter which is almost impossible to do to keeping a farm healthy .


WHY AM I HERE FREEZING ?:

My family and I were not planning on coming to Canada to enjoy the painful winter but here because of my dad's study.My father was coming to Canada because he got a scholarship for him to get his P.hD at Carleton university.We came in 1999 and he got his P.hD in 2007,clearly it took a while but he was teaching courses in between as he still does now.The weather is very different form where I come from , Libya. Libya is located in North Africa and has very warm weather and has had the world record for hottest temperature with a temperature of 58 degrees Celsius.I grew up here so i got used to the weather, my dad lived in England so he was familiar but my mom wasn't so happy but after a while got used to it.Now we know what to expect everyyear but the col still doesn't seemt o put a smily on our faces.
