Sir, – Last week Irish television and newspapers reported on the polar vortex that brought extremely cold weather to the North American continent. Coverage of the event was mainly confined to its effect in the area of Chicago and the midwest of the US.

It is surprising as Canada has welcomed thousands of Irish migrants.
