Darren Huston, the Trent grad with an honours B.A. in economics, isn't just comfortable talking about the weather; he's also about as gracious and self-effacing as an all-round Canadian guy can get. And, oddly enough, he uses similar terms to describe the new culture in which he finds himself immersed.
