Good questions. The RCAF seems to prefer twin-engined fighters too.

Anyone?

I've heard it mentioned that the reason for that is the
comparatively much greater distances between available airports
in Canada mandating the added reliability of twins.

The USAF's 317th FIS based at Elmendorf AFB (Anchorage, AK) flew
single-engine fighters (F-102's) for 12-years.
