That's not the Canada I know. Perhaps you were in a tourist area where they charge you for everything. We never get charged for ice at the restaurants we frequent. Being Canadian I can assure you that Canadians, like Americans, drink their liquor every which way. Canadians don't like warm beer. In fact, if available they typically enjoy their beer in a chilled glass or mug. They would rather drink out of the cold bottle than to pour it into a warm glass. Even Britain where warm beer is still enjoyed, if not preferred, is transitioning to a cold brew. This makes me thirsty just talkin' about it.
