Not really surprising, but here's the documentation. It's not surprising, because there are only a handful of Canadian PhD programs that compete at the international level--Toronto, Western Ontario, McGill, and British Columbia most obviously, but in particular specialties, also Alberta, McMaster, York, and a couple of others--and research-oriented PhD programs, of course, try to hire from the best PhD programs in the field or in particular specialties. The authors of the linked study appear to have other concerns, but they are surely right that Canadian PhD programs should, like all programs, provide clear and candid information about placement.
