Canada has adopted a very progressive sets of rules for amateur-class
service, particularly with respect to output power, occupied bandwidth, and
license classes. If Canadian amateurs wish to fully exploit the SSB power
rule under Section 10.2 (b)(i) of Industry Canada's RIC-2 regulations,
that's their prerogative. In doing so, they are compliant with their rules
and regulations of the Canadian government.
In order to attain a power level specified under Section 10.2(b)(i), it's
reasonable to assume that power supplies and RF circuits as mentioned by
VE7RF are wholly reasonable. Canadian licensed operators answer only to the
Canadian government -- not the FCC in the United States.
>From RIC-2:
"10.2 Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic and Advanced
Qualifications
The holder of an Amateur Radio Operator Certificate with Basic and Advanced
Qualifications is limited to a maximum transmitting power of:
(a) where expressed as direct-current input power, 1,000 W to the anode or
collector circuit of the transmitter stage that supplies radio frequency
energy to the antenna; or
(b) where expressed as radio frequency output power measured across an
impedance-matched load,
(i) 2,250 W peak envelope power for transmitters that produce any type of
single sideband emission, or
(ii) 750 W carrier power for transmitters that produce any other type of
emission."
