I’m from British Columbia (Canada) and I can confirm that there are temperate rainforests on the coast here.
As a fellow Canadian, I can say we have almost all of the biome’s, its kinda awsome!

I’m in for Shared Pants Thursdays. Temperate rainforests are a thing and I’d love to make arboreal octopi a thing.
