1.The only place where ppl live in igloos are the tip of Canada and Alaska, and Greenland which isn't owned by Canada. Oh, and only the poor ppl live in igloos. I have a snow fort :P.
2.I have no idea. I think it's to be original. Like elephant ears. We call them Beaver tails to make them more "canadian". Or like when you guys took french fries (The original fries) and called them 'freedom fries' to make it more "American".
3. A typical Canadian is either English or bylingual. the chances are if you took, say someone from ottawa or quebec, they'd be bylingual. but if you were to take someone off the streets of toronto, they's be english, because that part of ontario isn't influenced by french as much as eastern ontario.
and anywhere more western would likely be english or that other language they speak in inuit. There were much more english soldiers in the time of the american revolution (mostly loaded at hudson bay) making the whole of canada english. therefore, canadians should not be forced to learn french to get a good job, but it should be the other way around (even though most of the french here already know english) but the frenchmans are too ignorant to abide by any of the government's rules (e.g. tons of strip clubs publicly advertised for pedestrian children as well as adults in montreal.)
4. as i said. there are only polar bears on the tip of alaska and the islands at the top of canada (e.g. vitoria is.; nunavut ) and greenland.
5. no, that's greenland as well.
6. In the less industrialized, less popualized places such as nunavut and the islands, yes.
