HTML Canvas: scaling an image without stretching?

Question

Im using the code below to draw and scale the image inside the canvas. The problem is that the image displayed inside is stretched to fit.

If possible, I would like it to scale in width, but maintain its aspect ratio.

Any ideas?

//IMAGE LOADER
var canvas = document.getElementById('image-canvas');
var canvas2 = document.getElementById('image-canvas2');
ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
ctx2 = canvas2.getContext('2d');

// Trigger the imageLoader function when a file has been selected
var fileInput = document.getElementById('fileInput');
fileInput.addEventListener('change', imageLoader, false);

function imageLoader() {
    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = function(event) {
        img = new Image();
        img.onload = function(){
            ctx.drawImage(img,0,0,canvas.width, canvas.height);
            ctx2.drawImage(img,0,0,canvas.width, canvas.height);
        }
        img.src = reader.result;
    }
    reader.readAsDataURL(fileInput.files[0]);
}

You can determine the size of the image by adding it to the DOM. Once you know the ratio, you can scale the image to fit your canvas.

ratio = width / height;
width = height * ratio;
height = width / ratio;

The following should work, whether it be a landscape or a portrait.

var canvas = document.getElementById('image-canvas');
var canvas2 = document.getElementById('image-canvas2');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
document.getElementById('fileInput').addEventListener('change', imageLoader, false);

function imageLoader() {
    var reader = new FileReader();
    reader.onload = function(event) {
        var img = new Image();
        img.onload = function(){
            var ct = document.getElementById('measure'); 
            ct.appendChild(img);
            var wrh = img.width / img.height;
            var newWidth = canvas.width;
            var newHeight = newWidth / wrh;
            if (newHeight > canvas.height) {
                newHeight = canvas.height;
                newWidth = newHeight * wrh;
            }
            ct.removeChild(img);
            ctx.drawImage(img,0,0, newWidth , newHeight);
        }
        img.src = reader.result;
    }
    reader.readAsDataURL(fileInput.files[0]);
}

/* Add image to the DOM here so user can't see it */
#measure { position: absolute; left: -10000px; top: -100000px;}
canvas { border: 1px solid red; }

<canvas id="image-canvas" width="300" height="300"></canvas>
<input type="file" id="fileInput" />
<div id="measure"></div>
