You wouldn't - Canada has only 5% as many licensees as the United
States. In fact, there are almost *twice as many* amateur licensees
in the US than in the rest of the Americas *and* Europe combined.
Problems - SailMail, semi-automatic operation, general liddish
behavior, etc. - are purely a function of raw numbers.

Why are we arguing for MORE regulation? Perhaps a gross simplification
of the US amateur regulations might be better. The Canadian Amateur
regulations are a good starting point, see the Tables in
"Standards for the Operation of Radio Stations in the Amateur Radio
Service, RBR-4", referred by:
"Radiocommunication Regulations" SOR/96-484.
In summary, Canadians are limited to 6 kHz BW below 28 MHz, except 30 m
where the limit is 1 kHz. In 10 m band the limit is 20 kHz and rises
with frequency above HF.
That's for the whole band, and I've found no modulation restrictions or
subbands for CW, or data, or phone. Perhaps a VE might enlighten us
further.
I haven't noticed any problems from across our northern borders.

By the way, let me float this to the RTTY community -- do you prefer
that we submit individual comments to the FCC, or do you prefer that
we together draft out something for interested parties to sign (and

I know that there is already at least one effort to collect as much
documentation as possible to counter ARRL's lame idea. I have been in
the CC of emails of such activity, and have also participated in the
private discussions.
If a collective, well thought out comment is publish before any FCC
deadline, would you prefer to sign that instead of submitting your own?
I have not floated this idea to anyone yet, I am interested in what
the community prefers, and we'll see if the folks who are already
drafting a comment (let's call them "the usual suspects" of RTTY HI
HI) would be willing to let others add their names.
BTW, the signatures do not have to be limited US licensed hams, since
QRM can travel far and wide and affect everybody, including SWL.
