Doesn’t Frozen 2 take place in Canada though? I’ve never seen it, but I distinctly remember the trailer featuring swirling maple leaves and paper birch forests.

Stop giving them ideas to build Frozen Ever After 2 in the Canada pavilion.

Downy, Silver and dwarf Birch trees are indigenous to Norway and there are quite a few more different deciduous types like betula pendula, wych elm, linden, oak, aspen, hazel, juniper.
Has Disney ever had a "One Man Band Bert" character?

Aye. But the folks behind Frozen 2 specifically selected Sugar Maple. Sugar Maple is primarily found in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.
For comparison, here are the Sugar Maple leaf on the left vs. the Norway Maple on the right:
Just like the leaf Olaf is holding, the Sugar Maple has 5 leaf tips, compared to the Norway Maple’s 7.
This may be a situation similar to why so many animated characters only have four fingers... easier to draw.Aye. But the folks behind Frozen 2 specifically selected Sugar Maple. Sugar Maple is primarily found in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces.

Likely just a case of: "Need him holding a leaf. What do we have in our assets catalog that'll work?"

Hold your horses, its not as binary as counting lobes, Sugar Maple only has 5, while Norway can have 5 to 7.

And yet they didn’t shy away from animating the volcanic pebble beach when Elsa goes to Iceland.
Possible, but I’m still fairly certain that the bulk of the movie is that the Frozen crew travels westward from Norway to Iceland to Canada.
Because we all know that Canada is a lifetime journey for the traveler.
I don’t know. Disney has always maintained high standards for little details, even if the budget got Bobbed.

To be fair, when you insert a movie to be the main attraction to represent the culture in a park that represents various countries of the world and their respective cultures - you shouldn't have to have seen the movie. Otherwise, it's fair to criticize how it fits into World Showcase.
Your criticism makes sense in a lot of theme park contexts. But, they are using the location as the sole reason it fits in the park, so it should be fair game for anyone who has seen the film or not, I would argue.
(And, yes, I have seen all of the Frozen films.)

I would love to see a Mary Poppins ride in the UK. I loved Saving Mr Banks. By the way, my family is from Scotland and England. When I visited Scotland, I unfortunately did not see the Loch Ness Monster. I would encourage everyone if they have a chance to visit those two countries because they are very beautiful and the people are so nice.

As someone who actually enjoyed Mary Poppins Returns, I agree.
The fact that this wasn't centered on Jolly Holiday is cuh-razy.
The space depicted is really interesting and might have been somewhat enjoyable (in isolation), but Mary Poppins deserves so much more. I'm not even someone who is advocating for an E Ticket. That will never happen in EPCOT. What it deserves is the classic, charming Fantasyland dark ride treatment.
A bus-bar ride based on Brave was a contender for this space......why not Mary?

I liked Mary Poppins Returns too. I don't think it was remotely as good as the original, but it was still a solid film.

You know… if Disney just wanted to add some small attractions like this, well themed, but didn’t make a big fuss about them, and just did it to add capacity and such… I would be more for it.
But to use the D23 stage to announce this? Garbage. Keep the big hyped stuff for the Disney attractions we expect, use the parks blog to announce adding a new teacup ride.
