What you wrote applies to a booming metropolis like Toronto and Vancouver. I don't believe it does as much in Regina or Thunder Bay or Halifax. Definitely not in rural Canada. There are still a lot of people living in suburbs who are fully dependent on cars for commuting. Many of them would very reluctantly give up the luxury of being able to hop in their cars and go on a little road trip or take a vacation. Car sharing is growing in popularity, particularly among the younger generation, but it's still a long way from becoming commonplace, IMO.
