I'm pretty sure those wooden houses in Canada are built differently from wooden houses in California. The ones I've seen are thin wooden struts covered with some drywall.
Edit: and just saying "flimsy" by comparison to the usual reinforced concrete structures back home. I now own a home in California and it's definitely solid.
So funnily enough, 2x4 exterior walls meet code for 3 stories, but where I am, it doesn’t meet the insulation requirements of minimum r-20, so it’s normally built with 2x6.
