That Canada overall is more northerly than Europe. Given the fact that most Canadian big cities are located within 100 miles of the US border, the populated part of Canada is not "more northerly" than Europe but at the same latitude as the middle of Europe (between 43° and 52° Latitudes).
Actually, even Southern Europe, as the southern most part of Canada, Middle Island, at 41*41N, and even the southern tip of Ontario (Windsor) is further south than Some parts of the northern Mediterranean Coast. This probably surprises many people.
What part of the south are you referring to? There are no deserts anywhere east of west Texas and even most of west Texas is better described as semi desert.
West Texas is a part of the Chihuahuan Desert, and much of the South Texas Plains area is part of the Tamaulipas Thornscrub. Both are semi-desert compared to the Mojave or Sahara deserts.

Isn't that what I said? LOL Point being, there are no deserts east of there.
I've also heard that Taiwan is how you say Thailand in the Thai language LOL.
Yeah some people are pretty uninformed.
Another thing that I also get quite a lot is that Taiwan is in Southeast Asia and is a really poor tropical island, a la most of the rest of Southeast Asia, and that it doesn't get cold in winter, which are all pretty far from the reality.
I usually don't bother to correct them though. The Thailand thing yes, but not so much for this one as it takes more effort lol.
"Great Britain is the 3rd largest island in the world after Australia and Greenland."
Wrong!
New Guinea, Borneo, Madagascar, Baffin Island, Sumatra, Honshu and Victoria Island are all larger.
New Guinea and Borneo are even more than 3x larger than Great Britain.
If you go only by population Great Britain is 3rd after Java and Honshu.
