#ICYMI: Canadians are suffering through a brutal winter across the country, but in B.C. Most of the country was covered with frost and the words, "polar vortex," but the chill stopped at B.C. University of Saskatchewan professor Ken Coates studies rural and northern Canada and argues mid-sized and small communities deserve more attention. So, while I fully understand why on days like today it's newsworthy that Vancouver and Victoria have snow, I have a simple request: Rather than using phrases like, "B.C. experiences rare winter weather," can we qualify that with a "southwestern" at the front to clarify you're referring to a specific part of the province rather than the whole place?
