Of course Canada has county music! You even have your own "coal miners daughter" Anne Murray.

Her father was a coal miner in Nova Scotia-- where the mines run out under the ocean-- and a cave in mean drowning.
and any number of "american" country singers are really canadians (Gorden Lightfoot, etc).. but it is country music, not Country/western -- well I only know of country music .. I don't much like c/w, here and there a song, but its not in my top ten list of favorite types. There might well be Canadian C/W music available on station in centeral canada--(never been there) and never looked for it.

Country music, old style (my preference) or more modern country-- is an extention of "folk music"-- and american folk music is as old as the ages-- "Barbara Allen" is still sung.
