Tory politicians under Stephen Harper destroyed Canada’s nuclear program and sold off billions of dollars in assets for less than pennies on the dollar.
My dad got fired along with hundreds of scientists. Massive amounts of research shredded, lab equipment worth millions scrapped.
Tories are ignorant anti science assholes. -

External is easy but a big job. Usually means ripping off siding, attach rigid foam panels, tyvek housewrap, and replace siding. Replacing windows and doors is sometimes done at the same time.
Expensive and best left to contractors.
Indoors means filling cavity with fibreglass wool and a vapour barrier. This is common when replacing a window. Not a huge job if you do one room at a time. -

Not having insulation in your walls is strange to me. It’s common for detached garages to be insulated and drywalled here.
Even though it’s December two neighbours are getting new windows. One local window manufacturer has an 8 week backlog. Lots of 1960s houses here have aluminum sliders that are like having a hole in the wall.
The province will give you money for insulating your attic, and partial credit for triple pane windows. Not sure about doors. -
Get an infra red camera and look at the outside of your house. You can see where heat is escaping. Most provincially owned energy companies in Canada will do this for free.
It was minus 30C here in Winnipeg the other night. Furnace was on for less than an hour, inside was 17C. It sounds like you need serious insulation and real insulated windows. I wish I could help you! -

Good on you for taking them in!
There’s hundreds of Ukr refugees in the hotels around where I work. I see lots out walking around with children and strollers. Many are settling in as immigrants.
