AOPA reports that Canada should have a plan for an ADS-B mandate approved by the end of the year (no deadlines yet):

Unlike the US, Canada's considering a "Mode-C exemption" in controlled airspace with radar coverage—that should be helpful for US pilots equipped only with 978UAT and not the 1090ES international standard (978UAT is US-only). Mainstream transponders like the GTX 345 support both, but there are a few cheap options that are 978MHz only.

Our regulators are still undecided about requiring a second ADS-B antenna on top of the plane, since our ADS-B is satellite-based. I wonder if that's what they were testing when they were adding "ADS-B" to the remarks section of my flight plans.
