Sorry, I can't supply a regulatory reference, but Canada has been allocating second adjacent channel licences for several years now. When I applied for a Winnipeg licence in 2000, we were granted 100.7 with second adjacent stations. http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2002/db2002-225.htm
We were the first to go to air with the reduced channel spacing and did have some receivers with a lot of separation problems.
I was told that when the Industry Canada studies were done, the tx sites in the test were co-located. Ours was removed from the other two and intermod raised its head. We had to delay our sign-on by 3 weeks while a bandpass filter was designed and built.

First day back in civilization where I can check the forum in a week.
Yes, it was CHNR-FM in Winnipeg, and yes, of course it had CRTC approval. Putting 1.5 Kw on-air from the tallest building in the middle of approximately 750,000 people isn't something you'd get away with for very long .. LOL.
Process to place a station on-air in Canada? Painful. The CRTC are adminstratively incompetant and it took almost 3 years from the time of submitting the application until they rendered a decsion favourable to our application.
Unfortunately, being a stand-alone FM in a market dominated by "The Big Boys" was far from easy and sales problems eventually forced me to accept an offer a little more than 3 years after sign-on from a large company with far deeper pockets than I had. As soon as we would get a hard-won client on air, reps from the others would show up on-site within 72 hours, lowball our price to obtain the client and tie up all their contract dollars so we were frozen out. Preditory activity at its best.
So, by contract, I'm out of the broadcasting business for another 3 years or so ... then who knows what?
In the meantime, I'm enjoying getting back into my ham radio hobby ... keeps the engineering side of my brain active.
