I know he did. I was more into letting people know about the cold conditions in the area..... and I wanted to use the word "wuss" in a sentence.

My belief is that if something can be misread or misunderstood, it will be. People in the northern states and particular Canadians, know there are a lot of myths about how cold it is up here. No word of a lie, people in Niagara Falls, Ontario have plenty of experience seeing Americans visiting us in July with snow skis attached to their car roof asking where they can go skiing. It was only a few years ago that Canadian Comedian, Rick Mercer, had a Governor of a mid west state, making a statement supporting the rebuilding of the Canadian National Igloo. Mercer then went onto a campus at an Ivy League school and had professors and students say into the camera that Canada cease our practice of sending the elderly out onto ice flows. I know that posters on this site are more savvy than that, but if you have never been up here, you have no idea.

So this isn't a dig at the USA, it's just a good idea to provide some more information before assumptions are made. There are different degrees of cold, Niagara is not extreme. In regards to the cold weather and the P2O process and blending of fuel, it's a non-issue.
