I'm actually surprised how close Canada's vaccination rate is to the US
That's because you're looking at first doses only. The numbers for fully vaccinated residents are very different -- Canada's policy is explicitly "we don't have enough vaccine to give everyone two doses yet, so we're going to give first doses first and second doses up to 4 months later".

You get better quality immunity and reduce the number of deaths and hospitalizations by waiting 9-15 weeks vs the prescribed 4.
