U.S. cars are dual-labeled so that they can be sold in Canada also.

Indeed not.  In the center of the continent (near the U.S.-Canadian border),
the annual temperature swing is -40 to 35.  (That's -40 F to 95 F.)
Save for Siberia, North America must have the worst overall climate on
the planet, compounded by very high humidities in the parts where most
people live.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
