This interactive article allows you to choose a Canadian city and see what US city it will compare to in the future as a result of warming temperatures.

For example Toronto is comparable to Grand Forks today but by the end of the century will have summers similar to Alpine, Texas.

And Alpine, Texas will be comparable to...Kuwait? lol
 
Currently, it's 30°C in the house and I'm about to put on a coat. Above 38°C I begin to feel hot, and a shower quickly resolves that. Just have to let the water run for a minute or so to avoid being scalded.
 
My state's climate has warmed during my lifetime. The summers remind me of visiting the south in the 80s.
 
Is our current climate optimal? (Not that we have a choice) The one thing we KNOW about our climate is that it has always changed.
 
Science proves it. Common sense realizes it.
I will double down.

Not provable or knowable or likely even.

Any scientist who says otherwise does not follow science. They follow the herd.

I feel sorry for Edmonton because no human population should have to feel like Toronto ever. That's just ninth circle of hell cruel, even if it's cooler and less brimstone-sulphur-like.

That said, we in Canada better get ready for far more atmospheric energy, tornadoes, wild temperature swings, colder oceanic air as ocean currents weaken, a more arid climate in the prairies and higher sea levels and we must get ready now. We've got about 50 years to adapt to these coming drastic changes.

Be well and be safe in the new freeze-and bake-climate our descendants will inherit.

At 30C I am dying if in the house. At 38 in a house it would be torture

I find it easy to cool off by taking a shower when ever I feel hot, but warming up when cold is not very easy as we have to build a fire outside. And when living in the States my heat bill was quite high.
It's a quite chilly 26 C in the house at the moment, and I'm wrapped in a blanket with our little dog on top of my feet.

Tell it!

As the desert in Arizona is now building toward a concrete wasteland those of us living here can feel it. We live it. Heat baked in by the sun settles in mile after mile of roadways, buildings, houses, factories and warehouses. Time was the desert used to cool down at night making the daytime cooler. Not so much anymore unless you live out beyond cities. When it is 103 degrees at 2.30 AM there isn't much time to cool down before sunup 3 hours later.
