Geometry

Canada is part of the Northern Hemisphere, so the sun's highest peak at noon will be from the south. Optimal daylight and South-facing windows will receive heat and often have plants around to reduce hot summer temperatures. In the East i s the right place to catch the light of day. The west is suitable for catching the evening sunset light. In the north, large trees will often be planted to block the wind.

Skylight on the top provide sunlight in winter.

Cons

Not enough tree in the South side to block sunlight, so it very hot in summer.
