Even within region 2, the Canadian bandplan (see below) specifies 7035-7050 for digital modes. There is also a number of strong local SSB stations between 7050-7100.

7.000 to 7.035 MHz - CW
7.035 to 7.050 MHz - Digital Modes
7.040 to 7.050 MHz - International packet
7.050 to 7.100 MHz - SSB
7.100 to 7.120 MHz - Packet within Region 2
7.120 to 7.150 MHz - CW
7.150 to 7.300 MHz - SSB and other wide band modes
