It's important not to assume that Canadians always behave similarly to Americans (often people use the term "North American" to apply USA statistics to Canada).

In terms of annual driving distance, as in other things, Canada is actually somewhere between the USA and Europe.

In 2009 (the last year Statistics Canada did the Canadian Vehicle survey which is being replaced by the Canadian Vehicle Use Survey) Canadian light vehicles were driven an annual distance of 15 336 km, a decrease from 16 944 km in 2000.

Canadians (at about 15 000 km per year and decreasing) are actually very similar to Europeans in annual distance driven (14 000 km) rather than to Americans, who do indeed drive about 18 000 km.
