I've been a member for 6 months now. I'm not a yank, I do have my PPL. I've been watching the action going on in the States with the grounding of 41,000 GA aircraft. No doubt they wouldn't fight the feds in Canada either as they have in the states, but it's reassuring to know at least someone's watching.
