Contrary to popular belief, Canada does experience acidic rainfall events during the warmer months.

The worst location in Canada for acidic rainfall is Kejimkujik National Park, which is located in southern Nova Scotia. This acidic rainfall is derived from industrial sources in the mid-western United States.

It's only during the summer months (or in spring or fall if it is particularly hot) that polluted air derived from the industrial parts of the United States descends upon south eastern Canada. During periods of cooler weather, the air masses do not originate from any industrial sources since the dominate wind direction is from the north west and thus there is relatively clean air during these times.
