I don't know that they are behind on new releases... My Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray queue-up shows a 9/28 release date, same as Amazon. Although when I actually get it may have to do with how many other people already queued up ahead of me.
Not sure about HBO shows. If it's on DVD I would think they'd have it. They have Rome and Sopranos for sure. If you don't see them on your Netflix, maybe HBO just hates Canada.
I see all of Dexter as available.
Now if you're talking about Netflix streaming then yeah, everything you said is true. It's not really a good way to get new releases and shows appear and disappear apparently at random with no warning.
Netflix is really a DVD mailing service that happens to sometimes have some things available for streaming.
If the DVD mailing is the part that seems to be missing stuff, you might just chalk it up to it being new in Canada and they haven't built up their library yet. It's very rare for me to think of any show or movie that's out on DVD which I can't get from Netflix.
