Yeah, that's true too. In the summer, there are many days that remind me of Southern Ontario around the Great Lakes. You don't get that further west in the Prairies. But, then, Winnipeg is at a crossroads. It takes influence from Ontario and the Midwest while influencing the subsequent Prairie cities.
