In general, that statement is untrue - particularly with French Canadians.

Oh you're from Canada... then you must know so & so in Toronto (I live approx. 4.5 hours flight time from Toronto)

Canada.... It must be a real problem with the wild animals like Moose & bear in your garden all the time!

Oh.... You get so much snow & bitter cold temperatures there & the ice storms are horrible. It's soooo humid in the summer there too. (we live in an area that doesn't see huge amounts of snow in the winter & I personally have never seen an ice storm. Being a semi-arrid location, we generally don't experience the high humidity factor)

In my opinion, no matter where you go, you're going to have someone that tries to make conversation with the little knowledge that they know about your country. I took it as an opportunity to converse & enlighten them. ;)

I've never come across that and I've been around Quebeckers for over a decade.
