Indeed, Canada is a laggard in this area. I work on a university campus where they've gone beyond the bare minimum that's legislated, and it's quite a stark difference from the rest of the city.

Only within the last 5 years has the city slowly started doing this somewhat right on some streets, whereas campus sidewalks are always plowed and salted.
