[Paddlewise] VHF radio question

I'm once again considering a radio...I've brought my cellphone on 
paddles, and frankly in an emergency it wouldn't be as good as a radio. I 
tend to be kinda safety conscious I guess.

Anyway, I like the Standard HX150 (I think that's the model). 
Push-buttons, about $180 at West Marine, uses akaline or nicads, 1/5 
watts, 3 year waterproof warranty.

So...can I use this radio in Canada and/or Mexico? (I live in the 
states.) Do I need a license to use a marine radio there?

Thanks for the info.
