Iqualuit is the capital of Nunavut.

Yeah. I like my way better lol.

Here's the weather for Iqaluit today:

TodaySunny. Wind becoming north 20 km/h then northwest 40 gusting to 60 late this afternoon. High minus 29. Wind chill minus 48.

ETA: if the weather doesn't scare you away, you can take in some culture:

The City of Iqaluit is also rich with Inuit culture: come visit our local Nunatta Sunakkataangit Museum; Unikkaarvik Visitor Centre; or take a boat trip to the local heritage site of Qaummaarvik Park just minutes away from the community

And I'm guessing 29 Celsius is even colder than Fahrenheit. Not that I can Even imagine either one.

Actually by that point it's getting close to the same. At -40 it's -40 in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. At -29 it's about -22 in F.

New Brunswick is officially bilingual, same as Quebec.

Uh, the whole country is.

Uh, not provincially.

As per Wikipedia (the greatest source EVAR): "At the provincial level, New Brunswick and Manitoba are officially bilingual provinces, though this is closer to perfect legal equality in New Brunswick, whereas in Manitoba it is the result of a court ruling which struck down seventy-year-old English-only laws in 1985. Only Quebec has declared itself officially unilingual (French only)."

ETA: I didn't realize Quebec was unilingual, though, so I did learn something new today.
