What is Canada really like? None of this South Park sillyness and rude comments. I may be visiting soon and would like to know. Should I polish up on my french, is the air as clean as they say?

Canada is rather large. The question is like asking "what is America like? Where should I be sure to visit?" It would be helpful to know roughly what area in Canada we're talking here, and how long you're going to be there.
If you go to Ottawa, be sure to check out the Canadian Museum of Nature.

Indeed, Canada is too large a landmass to readily offer accurate generalizations aboot, but I can make one:
At least two-thirds of the men in Canada are named Doug.

Victoria, Canada is a very european styled city, except with more trees and mountains. Vancouver, Canada is more of a large city, i'd say a cross between Seattle and Munich. Air is pretty clear all through the area. French on the western half of canada is not required.
They stole our city name though, so they will one day have to be nuked.

It's kind of cool if you don't live in Thunder Bay, Ontario...or Saskatchewan.

Gwyn, Nova Scotia has some lovely rugged coast lines, delicious oat cakes and Cape Breton Island has a bunch of alcoholic bagpappers who sound like they are straight out of the old country. As far as speaking French, that's Quebec. There is also New Brunswick--but it is more bilingual and interspersed between predominately English and French towns. The French among some of them as well as Nova Scotians is different than Canadian French--it's Acadian French (also in Northern Maine).
My family always jokes that New Brunswick is colder in the winter and hotter in the summer than Nova Scotia--but I <3 New Brunswick more b/c that's where the family is from. There are some beautiful natural areas.

If you're passing through Montreal, we could meet. 
You should probably stay away from Quebec. After the event it'll be pretty much uninhabitable.
Banff is nice this time of year.

I prefer the Tamagami Wilderness area in upper Ontario myself. Tne Musuem in Sudbury Ontario is nice as well. I got flashed there by a young staffer when I visited many years ago.
"There' a proud old lady by the pier in Halifax, when they made her kind they threw away the mold."(thanks to TOM LEWIS for the lyric, he now lives in B.C.) It is due to the failure of his colony attempt in Newfoundland that led Lord Baltimore to try again further south.
Oh it turns out my new Honda Civic was assembled in Canada. I hope it wasn't during a hockey game or moose season. (The engine is American, and the transmission is from Nippon. True world economy as the steel is probably from India/Pakistan)

I've been through Quebec quite a few times. Sticking to the well populated travel-routes I've never had any problem communicating, though I speak no French.

Canada, duh.
It's pretty much the US with better health care, strange accents, colder weather, more moose, and more French speaking people than they have in France. I could be making up that last bit though, I didn't actually bother to look up population statistics.

Nuked?
I'd have thought an army of laser wombats would be more your style...
Nah, that army will be busy taking over the rest of the world. Besides, I sent them a very polite note asking them to change their name and they refused. So nukes it is.
