Canada's winters must be very harsh (although I already heard a bit about them from Jordan Peterson on his podcasts).

I'm from the UK and Berlin's winters were harsh for me :).

Most bigger Canadian cities really aren't that bad. Vancouver is particularly mild, and Toronto winters are fairly tame.

"Real" Canadian winter happens in places you won't find many tech jobs anyway.

I don't think the winters are too bad, but I was born here. The problem is Toronto being right next to a big lake and the downtown core is a series of wind tunnels.
