On the Family Search Support front page a display shows North American and Canada. Canada IS one of the countries in North America. There are 23 countries in North America, as well as more than two dozen non-sovereign territories, including Bermuda, Aruba, the Cayman Islands, Greenland, and Puerto Rico. 

In Ontario, Canada there is a Simcoe County. In Norfolk County, Ontario there is a town of Simcoe. When places in Simcoe County are noted on FamilySearch the places are shown to be in Norfolk County, in error. eg https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/about/KLM6-6B5 The map displays the correct location, i.e. in this case "Medonte, Simcoe County, Ontario. BUT, the written place name has it wrong (it is not Norfolk County). This is one example. Every one of the entries for my relatives has this error, so it seems not be connected to the individual entry, but to the system's directory of places.
