So it looks pretty much as I thought - keep within the bandwidth limits,
use whatever modulation technique that you want! Cool!
I got my Digital Radio Operators Certificate in 1979. Even then,
DOC/IC/whatever they call it today was moving towards this destination.
As usual, government takes time to move. :-)
I'm in California now, so I have to live within the intersection of the
Canadian and US regs, so not so wide open here. It would be wonderful if
the US government could be convinced to adopt similar regulations.
[I do need to go get my US licence - it's on my (very extended) 'to do'
list...]

Richard,
The simplified changes that I am aware of make Amateur Radio
Experimentation easier in
Canada in as much as the regulations^[1][2] limit the bandwidth use
and input power. The rest
is left to coordination with neighboring frequency reuse (such as
repeater councils) and
agreed band plans[3] (RAC/ARRL/etc).
