I would not say most of North America's lakes are in Canada. Florida has over 30,000 lakes. Louisiana has a bunch. Still, Canada has a lot. During the Ice Ages, glaciers constantly advanced and retreated. As they did, they pushed rocks and dirt in front of them. In the process, they scoured out low places. Then the ice pushed the rocks and dirt out of the low places and kept pushing the moraine. When the glaciers reached their maximum distance, they left the rocks and dirt. That area is called a terminal moraine. The largest of those is Long Island in New York. It consists of garbage pushed there by a glacier. The great big string of large lakes including the Great Lakes that you can see on a map extending out from Hudson Bay like a necklace show the edge of a period of glaciation. For example the southern end of Lake Michigan ends in a Terminal Moraine. It was put there by a glacier. As you go around the Great Lakes, you see the result of glaciers. Then you go north. Great Slave Lake is larger than Lake Ontario and is part of the same system built by the same forces. Between those lakes and Hudson Bay, the glaciers dug out many small lakes. As a result the norther woods of Canada has many small lakes. They follow the paths of the glaciers as they waxed and waned.
