The same rules apply in Canada. Vehicles must give way to pedestrians crossing the road. there is often a crossing marked on the road in city centres but if not the crossing is taken to be an imaginary extension of the sidewalk.
Canadian drivers generally do ot show the same aggression in thier driving as the British. It all all leads to a much safer feeling when walking the City streets of a city compared to the UK where you need to increasingly take your life in your hands when attempting to cross the road.
As regards cyclists why are drivers here so reluctant to slow down and follow a cycle for a few hundred yards when it is unsafe to overtake? The view that they must overtake no matter what seems inherent in some.
