No Eric it is you lot who drive on the wrong side of the road.

This all stemmed from the Roman times when the legionnaires would march on the left side of the road so that their sword hand (the right) was closest to anyone marching towards them.

That sort of pre-dates the emergence of Canada and the states.

The Yanks opted to travel on the right as a protest against the British pre independence. They did the same with the English language with the spelling of certain words. The Yanks were in effect cocking a snook at the British way.
