Answer Notes
The amateur radio service is fundamentally designed for non-commercial, technical, and personal communication. Under Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Canada regulations, amateurs are strictly prohibited from transmitting any communications related to business, commerce, or pecuniary interest.
Discussing emergency planning, recreation, or Morse code practice are all perfectly acceptable and encouraged activities on the air. These topics align with the educational, personal, and public service purposes of the amateur radio hobby.
