[CQ-Contest] Changes to Canadian Sections may have consequences for Four ARRL contests

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

 That's funny.  I thought the ARRL 10 meter contest, which does include mults for working the various states of Mexico, was still an ARRL contest.
...the background?  It's quite simple.  Once upon a time, the ARRL included both the US and Canada.  So many contests, such as the ARRL DX contests, were ARRL-covered areas working everyone else in the world (and vice versa).
The ARRL Canadian Division eventually became the independent CRRL, which eventually merged into today's RAC.  But the contests were never changed to reflect that "ARRL" was no longer "US & Canada" but just "US".  (Should they have been?  IMHO, no.  Not that my opinion matters on anything.)

 The thing I've always wondered about is why Mexico is NOT included in 
ARRL contests. Maybe some of you can provide background as to why they 
are not included.
