West Coast - exactly true; they're really trying to push for the constant descent approaches.
You do not have to fly it, you can still "chop and drop" but now the plates have the actual descent rate in fpm required for your ground speed to maintain that 3 degree approach profile, along with some other goodies, which I really like. (Although I do still think the Jepp plate format is still superior.)
It's important to note that you can still chop and drop if required, but still makes a more stabilized, constant descent approach really simple to plan and brief.
All the important stuff regarding airspace, plate, etc. changes from NavCanada is published as Aeronautical Information Circulars. The Circular pertaining to these changes is AIC 33/13 (though it is woefully brief and the CAP GEN is likely the best source of the information you're looking for.)
If you want a few relevant screen shots of the new CAP GEN, let me know.
