Why best and worst of Canada sucks: myth vs. reality

Just for fun :-p
When i first met my partner and found out she was from Canada, I had these ideas and visions in my head:
Myths:
1/ IT is winter all year round in Canada......
2/ you will not find any penguins on frozen lakes in Canada.
3/Polar bears can be seen scavaging in Rural parts of Canada.
4/Canadians live in Igloos
5/Canadian Policemen are all Mounties.

Reality:
1/Ok, it might be for 5-6 months of the year, but the summers can be hot.

2/ Usually the only things in/on a lake are people who go for a swim Christmas morning, 4 of the 17 species  are  found in to live along the coast of Antarctica, and the Antarctic peninsula 

3/ This is actually true to some extent, especially in Northern Canada, and the Arctic as well.

4/ Canadians live in Proper houses just as the same as Americans.

5/Canadian Police dress the same as  American Police, but only wear  The red tunic on special, or ceremonial Occasions.
