Canadian Winter - bad, bad idea.

I fulltime but in Virginia - much farther south. In my area, the usual "freeze" lasts from 2 to six weeks. In most of Canada it's 4 to 6 months. That far north it would be hard to keep the unit warm regardless of how much you were willing to spend on electricity or propane.

The USA and Canada have a whole group of people, mostly retired, who are called "snow birds". They move to the south for the winter. Some come in RV's, some actually own second homes or condos in the southern part of the USA.

If you've ever been to Scotland in February you have some idea of what winter is like in most parts of Canada. Parts of the Pacific northwest (Washington State and Vancouver BC) are warmed by a current that crosses the Pacific from China, so the winters there are less frigid.
