Fatman, a parallel to this (I'm thinking of it because it happened today): I got a call from a tenant who said it was too cold in their apartment.

I went to check it out. The radiators were nice and toasty. My thermometer registered 71 Fahrenheit, which is warm enough in the eyes of the law.

He asked me for a heater. I told him I didn't provide heaters but there were several shops around if he was in the market for one.

He really thought I needed to give him a heater because he felt too cold.

He felt too cold wearing shorts and a t-shirt and no socks.

I told him to put on a sweater and see if that helped.

Same deal with the Muslims being intolerant of things Canadians consider national security measures. Put on a sweater like all the other Canadians do when they feel cold.

PS. He did not call back. I think it's kind of sad that I have to teach adults how to dress warmly when it is cold outdoors. I think it's better than wasting his money on a space heater that he would probably start a fire with anyway.
