He pushed to still focus on the good days and that Saskatoon still has many more good days than Danemark, even though it gets colder here.
I still think this is a poor argument. I'd be interested to have him come back and make this presentation in the middle of February and try to get people not to laugh when he says this--the turnout would probably be less as well with people saying it's too cold to go out lol . He does have some interesting thoughts on other things from the sounds of it though.
