No, they are not similar. There is huge difference betweeen European and Canadian Wolf.

1) European Wolves are more compact & packed. But also smaller. They have different heads than Canadian Wolves. There is also huge difference in the coat. Wolves living in USA and Canada have different genes which are responsible for changing the colour during growing. Lupina (mother of Mutaras) was born as wolfish puppy. But now she is totally WHITE. And these genes are also in Mutaras (don't forget Canadian Wolves can be red, black aso.). The ears of European Wolves are shorter, and different settled (Canadian Wolves and also Mutara Mixes have ears similar to Akita Inu - hanging out).
So maybe European and Canadian Wolves are WOLVES but f.e. Husky and Malamute are SPITZs. Similar but still different breeds.....

CANADIAN/AMERICAN WOLVES



EUROPEAN WOLVES



2) There is different character by European Wolves and Canadian Wolves. Canadian are more stable but their mixes are also more similar to Huskies - useless for protection or proffesional work. European Wolves are more nervous and hot-tempered but I think exactly is was the reason that Hartls work was succesfull.

3) There are many breeds which ancestors are Canadian or American Wolves. Almost all spitzs: Huskies, Malamutes, Gronlandsdogs, a.s.o. The most famous is here Saarloos Wolfhound. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs are unique - only CzW have blood of European Wolves which is visibible by them. If we will use Mutaras we can already start now to ask FCI to merge Saarloos and Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs.
Because why to have two different breed if both are THE SAME?
