Being a stubborn cuss I decided to test the system again as I had to
make two more round trips from Michigan through Canada and across Lake
Erie over the holiday weekend... This series of flights I simply
waited until I was about ten miles from Canadian airspace and called
Center and advised I wanted flight following through Canadian Airspace
and across the lake... He promptly assigned a squawk and that was
that... The first round trip I filed a VFR flight plan but did not
activate it... The second round I didn't even bother with that...
