Canadian women are tall!!! (promenade, between, moved)

There must be something in the water in that school because I really doubt 75% of the women are taller than 5'9. Thats just abnormal.

If Rishi wants to feel more at home he should cross over to the other side of the Ottawa River.

People are somewhat shorter here.

A lot of it has to do with nutrition. Some people are fortunate to live in places where food is varied and abundant and where they have a quality of life where they can afford said food.

5'9" is rather short for a man in Canada. There are, however, lots of new Canadian women from India, China, Philippines, etc who are short. Canadians who descend from Northern Europeans are definitely taller.

I live in BC and I feel like most of the men around me are my height or shorter and I'm 5'9. It's not great.

Don't be too sure. My American ex-wife was taller than me in her bare feet. In heels ... well, let's just say, she had legs.
