In that case, I'm much more afraid of zombie flies than I am of zombie humans. That and zombie bears. Mostly because bears have concerned me since Red Dead Redemption
.
Zombie humans, if all they consist of are self-propelled dead flesh, are pretty weak. They can't recover daily grind of wounds, eat their population growth, get freezer burn-esc effects from heat-cooling cycles, and are the equivalent of Disneyland to bacteria in high temperatures (as well as great sources of water evaporation in those conditions). None of that bodes well if they move by muscle contraction.
In northern Canada in particular, the water in the cells are going to freeze pretty quick since there is no internal heat source anymore. Zombie snowmen would be fun though.

Plus hundreds of millions would die from exposure and starvation because there is no more electricity or gas and most people couldn't make a proper fire with a gun to their head.

Not to mention illness. Zombie apocalypse are fun for people until they catch dysentery (and, according to The Oregon Trail, they WILL within a week) or break a leg and there are no doctors with proper facilities around to patch them. Most people these days can't seem to get out of bed with a nasty enough cold. Imagine something more severe from water not properly purified or from some of that food you've been rationing out over months.
