Yes, the entirety of C is currently allocated to Canada[1]. The parent comments were talking about IATA codes, though, which aren't allocated by prefix.

While IATA codes do not require a consistent prefix, all the Canadian airports start with Y:

Interesting. I still see Canadian airports starting with Z.

But Y is heavily Canadian. We should all just start our own airport. Sounds like a good way to learn about naming. I imagine we will want an airport code staring with YC, so it'll have to be in Canada :P
