Did you know that in July 1936 there was a heat wave felt across Canada that saw temperatures of 105+ for over a week?

This, of course, was before the invention of the air conditioner. Many people died from this heat wave, some 1200+ throughout parts of Ontario and Manitoba.

Huh.

@Quimliqer I wasn't going to mention that part, but I'm glad you can see the reason in my even bringing it up

@Quimliqer The climate has always been changing, ever since prehistory. The time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Then a meteor struck the Earth and doomed dinosaurs to extinction. Then of course, there was the Ice Age, and the supercontinent known as Pangea began to split into the continents we know now, as Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Australia and Oceania on the Eastern hemisphere and North, Central and South America on the Western hemisphere... Or so I'm told.

I didn't know that. I know that 1936 was the year of the Olympic games in Berlin, Germany. And the highlight of that event was when Jesse Owens became a four time gold medalist by competing in track and field events.
