Why do all the latitude and longitude lines in Canada have only north and west?

Because every point in Canada is on the half of the earth that's North of the equator
and on the half of the earth that's West of the Prime Meridian.
The same is true of the USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Jamaica, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela,
Colombia, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, El Salvador, the Netherlands Antilles, and all
of the other Caribbean islands.
