Dick,
Thanks for posting on the Canadian section of the Pprune forum.
IFR in uncontrolled airspace in Canada can be a very lonely place.
126.7 is where you keep your ears on, and if you hear any unusual mention of a word that does not appear in normal position reports, it probably means that a conversation is going on or about to occur on another frequency, the favorite being 123.45.
While it is simple and easy fly IFR OCTA in Canada, you can also have to endure the endless unnecessary calls of Conflicting Traffic please advise.
What Australia does offer to Canada as far as procedure goes, is language that keeps frequency congestion down, not that there is a lot of in the great white North.
As an ex VK (now XVK) in Canada, I have always appreciated your numerous contributions to aviation safety, not to mention, what is now called, the electronic world.
