This one needs a better Canadian whisky than Canadian Club. It's balanced, but lacking interest without a characterful base spirit.

It turns out that there is another variant of this, named after a city in Quebec, the Trois Rivières. Here is my take on it: https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/11607/trois-rivieres

I agree; the recipe you posted is very good and looks better than this one. I've added my own take on it at the above address on Difford's.
