Ummmm… NO!

New research has found that global warming could drive several deadly snakes northward Alberta, Quebec and …. GASP… Southern Ontario.

There is some good news. The uninvited guests shouldn’t be cause for alarm. Only a few snake species are likely to make it into Canada — and the ones that do come likely won’t be the most deadly – this according to study co-author A. Townsend Peterson, professor at the University of Kansas. “Though possessing deadly venom, the snakes that could spread north into parts of Canada are classified as low risk”, he said. Some snakes are venomous but they try hard to stay out of way, Peterson noted. Then there are others that are “aggressive” and always “looking for trouble.”
