Ah yes, and another small world for you: this projection was submitted 
as an official EPSG entry, by me!    (EPSG:3978, used by all "Canada 
Atlas" products and web services)  Back in 2008 I was exhausted of 
supporting custom-projection questions for this projection (and after 
years of no-response from the federal-level people on this) I finally 
submitted it to the EPSG geodetic group myself.  It's become quite a 
legacy ha, that EPSG projection code is now used throughout Canadian web 
services as default (and there in the EPSG geodetic history is 
"submitted by GatewayGeo, 2008")

Small world!

So before you swear at me for this projection, imagine what life was 
like when they were using a non-supported projection & then trying to 
enable this in FOSS4G software!?!
