LOL@the idea Saskatoon is that cold 8 months a year. Unless you've actually lived in the Midwest for a full year or have visited it at various points throughout please don't comment on our weather.
Tennessee weather is actually similar to the Midwest except it is warmer. It sucks here and it sucks more up north, mainly because I hate the cold.
Sure, spring and fall up in Canada you might receive some Gulf of Mexico air for a few days, but you will also be stuck under the polar vortex for the same amount of time.
