Also, northern Alaska has black flies and I hear that Canada does as well. These things are just flat mean, taking a good chunk of flesh off of your hide.
So, if your going to live in the great white north, I am envious of you. I do miss living in Alaska something awful. Just be sure to wear a full face visor on your helmet and plenty of mosquito spray (100% DEET -- accept no substitute).
