Why does Canada drive on the right side of the road, when all other former British colonies drive on the left?

206 viewsOther

From my knowledge, the UK helped not only its former colonies develop their driving infrastructure, but also countries like Indonesia and Japan, thus them also driving on the left side of the road. Did the US have a bigger influence on Canadian road development than Britain? And if so, why?
