i'd do it with world builder
Considering the game has every reasons to make us at least smile on weird "elements" found even within Vanilla defaults, i'd say it's not the definition of Civ that matters but how we generally perceive the reasonings behind Designers' choices.
Show me a (somehow) Peaceful Nation and i'll give you a 1upT War, instantly!
Trying to mimic reality can lead to -i dunno- some controversial fidgets of imagination.
But... Canada would still crush Zeroes right out_of_the_sky with the Delta winged Arrows or Challengers while muscling & flexing a robotic Arm in Space. And shooting some pucks at Mecha-Warrior-GDRs.

I have played Polynesia and enjoy them. I am happy to have a civ that I have never played in any version of Civilization.

You could represent Canada with a city-state or something like that. Australia too.

And...
UB: CommonHealth (Hospitals - at no cost to all)
UA: Hibernation, provides extra 75% Energy to all Plants including Hydro & Nuclear
A bit overpowered for the late game, don't you think?
(but hey-Canada needs it)
Really... Canada? Again, they're not a Civilization and the idea of adding them is laughable. I'd buy them as DLC, but then again I'd buy Equatorial Guinea as DLC...
I mean really, I think we could find ~50 Civs that should be in before Canada!

There would be a decent argument for anyone of these ahead of Canada and they are more that you could argue... But... Yeah...

Go tell that much to the entire population of Japan this morning while they righfully expect the usual Humanitarian Efforts Canada provided & still provides worldwide.
We have troops in constant stanby for such events.
Katrina Hurricane got some, Indian Ocean Tsunami even more.
WE (TOO) the people are always ready.
Go ahead, Canada bashing is in fashion and it gets you noticed on the www.
The reality is different than a short list of direct insults such as what you just spilled on everyone as sulfuric acid.
Yep, it is sooooo strange to suddenly realize that most regions are frozen to the ground yearly for about 5 months, isn't it?
I know it's de rigueur around here to do so but can we cut out the Canadian bashing please.
Canada is relatively late to the game in Civ terms but their accomplishments are quite notable in my opinion.
Nobel peace prize winners and scientists such as Banting have greatly contributed to the world.
Peacekeeping in the post war period was pioneered by Canadians.
The Avro Arrow was an aircraft truly ahead of its time.
I don't expect Canada to be in Civ but there is absolutely no reason to belittle or insult my native country.
Sid Meir is Canadian BTW. Maybe he can pull a few strings.

Personally, I don't bash Canada, its a nice country. I do bash suggestions that Canada has some significant culture that is completely unique from American culture.

I could see Canada's UU:
Canadian Bacon
Replaces bacon, -5 happiness.
Okay. I'm done. Canada is fine, and I could see it as a maritime city-state.

Thank'a'yo soooo much for your support.
When i remember the Concorde supersonic, i always refer to the Delta configuration pioneered by the Arrows (6 only ever built!)... but, most people don't seem to realize the F14D Tomcat variable wings & even the B2 borrowed straight from that specific design.
I'd agree that the bashing fest must stop... but ya know how it goes in the www;
