Hi David, I would not be too downhearted about the Canadians being slower to oust steam engines.  From what you say they were 10 years or more "ahead" of us in Australia.[(-D] What's more, the picture below is the first diesel class on NSW metals.  Where do you think it was produced? Montreal works of Alco (I think).  Certain it was in Canada because these locos were nicknamed Canadians.  No prizes for guessing what it is.  The cab was changed a little to fit the loading gauge, three axle bogies (A-1-A sadly) and old fashioned buffers, but any North American railfan would recognise what it is based on.
