This is an over-generalization. I worked one job in Canada, where we'd waste an hour on a 'standup' scrum meeting, every day, and another job in the US, where we'd spend 30 minutes once a week on a sync-up meeting.

Yes and no. It's generalizing sure, but it's doing so based on my own experience. I have no doubt that there are some Canadian organizations that have adopted this strategy, I just haven't seen it nearly as bad myself.

Take my original post with a grain of unproductive salt.
