Just comes down to supply. The recognition thing is an interesting angle because it's why a lot of US police went back to black and white too, Homeland Security suggested more police services start doing it so people see a standard for what a police car is. But it trickled into Canada because of it. Most orders from the manufacturers were for the black cars so that's where most production went. Canadian services could buy a black car off the lot and have it delivered quickly, or wait and pay more for a different coloured one to be made.
