When entering the US on VWP, are you required to have proof of onward travel within the 90 days?

You must have an onward ticket and be able to show evidence of this. Most frequently, this is a round trip/return ticket provided by the airline automatically.
If arrive on a one-way ticket, it is up the CBP Officer to request evidence of your onward travel. Keep in mind, they can deny you entry simply for not having one. Of course, they can deem you low risk and let you in.
You best bet is to have proof, printed itineraries are usually sufficient (they can verify if the want to), to show all onward travel back to the UK and be able to demonstrate that you can stay in Canada for 3-4 months until your return to the UK.
Yes, they are determining you're intent to over stay. But, you don't have to return directly to you home country.
Reminder, none of this is guaranteed. Good fortune!

While entry under the Visa Waiver Program requires that you have an onward ticket, you may, or may not, be asked to show it. And, as you note, it cannot be from Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean.
Customs officials don't always ask about tickets but, if they do and you don't have one, or it shows a departure from Canada/Mexico/Caribbean, you can be refused entry under the VWP.
With your plans, a solution would be to obtain a B-2 tourist visa. As a UK citizen, most likely you would be issued a multiple-entry visa, valid for 10 years. On each entry, you would normally be allowed to stay for up to 180 days. Better, there is no requirement to have in your possession an onward ticket.
