People, as in Canadian government approved Chart dealers? Yes, they have
some pretty strict rules about selling out of date charts.  It is the system
for keeping fresh, up to date information available to the mariner.
Outdated info could be very bad, when it comes to boating safety.

People, as in the general public?  They can't stop Joe from selling his old
charts.  You just have to find Joe Old Chart guy.


>>If so, can I get
some in America, land of the free, home of the cheap?

Not at this chart dealer, as I don't want to lose my CHS chart dealership.
I have seen some ads in the sailing and cruising magazines advertising used
charts.  You might also try the rec.boats.cruising newsgroup.
