Most homes in the colder parts of Canada are heated by natural gas.
It helps to wear warm clothes too!

It can get considerably colder than that in parts of Russia (and other places).
Heated homes, heated workplaces, heated transport, wearing appropriate clothing, minimising 'outdoor' time.....not so hard to keep warm now as it was in the past, that's for sure!

The temperature might be as low as -30-40 C including the windchill, but people usualy spend most of their time in heated cars/buses, offices, homes. Think abt Toronto and Montreal, that's the same.

As Ottawa is the Capital of the country, there is plenty of hot air coming from the Parliament buildings. Sorry, old joke. It can get bitterly cold in ottawa but people get out and skate on the canal and wander the indoor shopping malls. Ottawa is a wonderful place any time of year.
