Ontario has different pedestrian laws, yes. Many places treat pedestrians differently. It's up to people to learn those things. When I travel I try to understand not just the written rules, but how people follow them. In some German cities they are incredibly strict. In others, far less so, even though they all have the same laws.
Hell, when I was 4 and went to the UK I'd try to put my arm up to cross a street, as we were taught. My mom quickly corrected me before I became a pancake, in that they don't do that, and I learned my lesson. So what, a four year old can work it out but adults can't? I dunno what the solution is, but humanity is approaching the point where many are just to dumb to survive.
