There happens to be 3 semi-arid regions in western Canada. The Thompson River valley west of Kamloops B.C.. in the vicinity of Osoyoos in the southern Okanagan valley of B.C. and the south eastern Alberta badlands.
Sagebrush and some varieties of small cactus dot the landscape while rattlesnakes can be found slithering in the underbrush. The temperatures can be extreme - approaching 115 degrees F (+48C) enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk in summer to a bone chilling minus 30 degrees F (-35 C) in winter.
Local residents claim that Osoyoos receives more pure sunshine in summer than does Barbados in the Caribbean.

Deserts come in hot and cold varieties. The largest Canadian Deserts would be those above the snow line of the Arctic Circle.

Much of the tundra region would be considered desert.

Deserts? Canada is in the NORTH. Deserts are located in hot, dry climates, generally in the SOUTH.
Canada does have a large area of land that is flat, and of a tundra-like land. Has some brush and vegitation growing. Similar to other northern climates.
