Right - If there was a non-pill-based measure of miserability, then there should be a spike in some of the northern countries simply due to lack of sunshine (and vitamin D).

You might still have some of the same countries show high average happiness due to income, public health systems etc etc

Canadian here, love my winters. We take part in a lot of social winter activities, skiing, curling, snowshoeing and winter camping. We’re all pretty content. We do travel to the sun, for us it’s mostly in May or November when the snow isn’t there to entertain us. Most of the people we know that go to the sun are not that fit or adventurous, that’s just my personal take.
