What happened to Canadian airports on Skyvector and Aeroplanner?

[Andrew Sarangan]

As the subject says, the majority of Canadian airport codes seem to
have disappeared from aeroplanner.com and skyvector.com. Are there any
workarounds?

Hadn't you heard. Canada has been outlawed. The bombings will begin in
20 minutes.

The DAFIF was restricted. They can't get that data anymore unless
they license it from Jeppeson, and I doubt they'll do that...

Funny thing is skyvector shows METAR symbols at the same Canadian
airports which it says it cannot find. Example is CYKZ. There is a
weather symbol at that airport location, but when you type it in, it
does not recognize CYKZ..

Nice thing about skyvector is that it shows sectional charts at very
fast rates. JIFP only seems to show the LL charts and requires a
software to be installed (not practical from public terminals at
FBOs).

I was wondering why they can't use an older version of DAFIF. Airports
and navaids rarely move, and even if they do it should be immediately
obvious when it is overlaid on the charts.
