I'm assuming as a Canuck, you clear snow and scrape ice off the windows before driving off.
Growing up in Boise, I value a good scraper and the best ones have a brass blade. I've had mine for decades.
Living in Portland, (where there's now platoons' worth of transplants from the South,) I watch people defrost their windows to a bare minimum standard of just basically a peephole out the front windshield, and it kind of irks me that there is no education or enforcement of this bad behavior. But that's a whole 'nother rant.
(And like someone said above, I warm up the engine long enough to get the needle off the peg, then drive slowly till the rest of the drivetrain has time to build some heat.)
