Man Loses Fingers in Quest for Canadian Girlfriend
Gonsoulin could not enter Canada legally because he was convicted of robbing a Pizza Hut in Arkansas in 1984, the newspaper said.
His girlfriend could not afford to travel to Los Angeles, he told the Sun. So he took a bus to North Dakota where he crossed the border.
"Mr. Gonsoulin didn't really know that there was any place on Earth that could be so cold and so inhospitable," Cook told a court hearing on Monday, adding his client had never felt temperatures colder than 10 degrees Celsius (50 F).
"It is better to have loved and to have lost than never to have loved at all," the Sun quoted Gonsoulin as saying. "It was all worth it for me. It's the difference between sitting around dreaming about things and going out and getting them."

Did he have a full body shot of her before he went on this trek?
And how smart can this man really be? Love does make people do stupid things.

Internet girlfriend? 
Gonsoulin and the Canadian woman met in an Internet chat room in 2002.
He still has not met his girlfriend face-to-face but they have spoken on the phone and Gonsoulin said they are still in love.

Amazing what some will do in the name of love.

When the doctors amputated his fingers and toes, they should have amputated his balls so he can never reproduce.

He was really disappointed when his "girlfriend" turned out to be a 43yo geeky male who spends all his time on the internet duping guys in chatrooms.

The woman lives in Quebec, Gonsoulin's lawyer, Mike Cook, told a court hearing. Quebec is about 2,500 kilometers (1,600 miles) east of Manitoba.
Yeah, love makes some people really stupid.

I agree this was extremely ignorant of this man. I'm sure before this trek the furthest north he had traveled was probably San Francisco. And to not seek shelter when it's freezing cold outside is another big no no...A tip for people south of the Great Lakes region and the Norther US, when your snot start freezing inside your nose and you don't have any protective wear seek shelter ASAP. One last thing, it makes you wonder how much longing there was in this guys life to actually bare 100 hours of intense cold and then having to have his finger and some toes cut off all in the name of "Love"...

I doubt things will not last much longer.. something to do with needing fingers to communicate on the net.
