Because I have tried to find a similar tailwheel rule in the official
Canadian rules, and have been unable to do so.

AFAIK there is no tailwheel endorsement required by CARs in Canada.


After the issue came up, I have been searching through the regs at length
and have come to this same conclusion.

IMHO it could be argued (by TC) that stopping is an act that immediately
follows the coming into contact with a supporting surface and that
stopping
is a part of a landing. Do you want to hire a lawyer to argue that a stop
is not a part of a landing? Lawyers love unclear regulations, which is
why
they write so many of them. I cannot cite legal opinion or case law.
IMHO
making 5 full stop landings each 6 months is the prudent action before
carrying passengers.

IMHO tailwheel is not a separate class and the required 5 landings can be
in
a tricycle gear or TW and would apply to skis but not floats. I do not
know
what would be required for ampibious floats but would guess that 5 land +
5
water would be required. IMHO any of these required TO&landings can be
dual
(with CFI) or solo.


Having read and re-read that section, I would interpret it as per your HO
*except* the part about counting dual. If the CFI is PIC, then I would
interpret that you cannot. If *you* are PIC, then of course you can.
