I am working through Genki I and it has the sentence 日本とカナダとどちらのほうが寒いですか and I
can't work out what the second と does. From what I understand, と is "and", so
it sounds like it's saying "Of Japan and Canada **AND** , which is colder?"
But I know that translation doesn't make sense.

Can anyone help me understand what that second と it doing? Thanks

In a comparison using のほうが, what does the second と mean?
