The "version argument" doesn't work and has been tried before. Last I heard, stations must defend each CanCon (if the CRTC doesn't already have it in their database) by showing a published copy of the song. In the old days, that meant taking pictures of record labels.

Stations don't need to play any CanCon overnight, but they do. Stations didn't need to play CanCon before 1971, but they did. Some listeners actually like some CanCon selections.
