CB use in Canada

Nobody can tell if you are listening to a CB radio so if police tell you differently- something is very suspect. They also cannot confiscate it- only radar detecting devices. Transmitting on a CB in Ontario brings you into the realm of the distracted driving law here- applies to all handheld devices. Hams still have the right to transmit using their microphones due to an exemption by regulation. They have renewed this once already for a number of years. Smart hams carry a copy of this regulation in case they are stopped. In their zeal to hit texting etc. they also caught 2-way radios in the net. You can listen to CB and adjust it as long as it is mounted in the car- not a handheld version. Good luck.
