Next February, Jim Flaherty and other finance ministers of the G7 will be holding their annual summit in Iqaluit, 2000km north of Ottawa. Flaherty says that it is a true taste of Canada. He is likely right because February is the coldest month in Iqaluit, with the average daily temperature about -32°C, not including the wind chill factor. A senior climatologist from Environment Canada even calls Iqaluit “the blizzard capital of Canada”. However, despite the cold, Flaherty says that the other finance ministers are looking forward to the Iqaluit summit as it is something vastly different from the typical big-city summits.
