London (UK) lacks a real winter thanks to Gulfstream. So winters would be a lot warmer there.<p>On the other hand, the summer is warmer in Toronto than in London.<p>Really, though, most Canadians live either almost on the border or by the oceans. The weather there is about the same as in northern US.<p>The weather in Alaska (at least Anchorage) is not that bad, either - a decent jacket would easily get you through the winter.
