All the Canadian material is copyrighted and like the British, they
used to be very protective of their copyrights. As they lose control
of the material, thanks to scans, digital downloads, etc., and facing
budget cuts where salaries of staff hassling people over rights fees
is more than what they bring in, restrictions for personal use only
are being lifted. In most cases restrictions on reselling a plotted
map are still in place.
