We are Canadians. We are a nation of adventurers , we travel. Travelling you are much more likely to meet a fellow Canadian than an American, and there are only 1/10 as many of us. Sometimes we travel just to escape winter, chuckle. Besides our large country, my wife and I have almost completed the lap of Australia, most of Namibia and of course all the western states. In my youth I backpacked through the Greek islands .
As for climate most people over the years have migrated to the Mediterranean climate zones, like California, Western Australia and Italy. You don't get cold or wet winters ,nor do you get oppressive heat and humidity in the summer. Still it gets hot. I think Oregon is about right. Since I don't live in Oregon, I can say that . BTW they don't want you.
As for people without a doubt the friendliest are the people of the Maritime provinces of Canada. And they can party. And poke fun at every thing.
