They do have a Veto of sorts - it's called the Angel and is basically immunity rather than vetoing a nomination. I think they also have something where you can make people immune from being immune too.
Canada was always going to have the US format and rightly so. I'd have loved to have seen the UK adopt the Brazilian format over the last few years - genuinely do think the UK was more than willing to adopt the HoH format after they tested the waters in BB9. One of the biggest mistakes they made IMO was in the next Celeb BB they made a big deal out of HoH in the first week with Terry Christian and it set up the series nicely with housemates speculating on the next HoH and viewers accepting it as a decent part of the format, but then they just stopped doing it.
There are numerous ways it can be combined with a public vote. It can be as Brazil did it with a HoH nomination, a house nomination and a public eviction vote, or even as simple as the UK did it with essentially the HoH having nothing more than immunity. Another way is have the HoH nominate three people, the public save one and the HMs then vote to evict on the final two (which for double evictions can see the public evict one and HMs vote to evict another one).
One thing I think would be a good idea to adopt in the US or Canadian version is to keep their format essentially the same with the houseguests voting, but add a twist to the Veto so that if the Veto is used the public chooses the replacement. That would take a lot of the predictability out of the game and it would be all the better for it.

it'd be the best compromise actually <3
