after looking thru some web material on the msf i can safely say we here in canada dont have the same thing. i took a safety course but it was primarily a "this is how you operate a motorcycle" kind of class

The MSF training can be found in a number of places in Canada. Here's a link.

Welcome - Canada Safety Council's Gearing Up - Canada's National Motorcycle Training Program

Students are taken from basic skills such as balancing the motorcycle, through correct use of brakes, proper procedures for starting a motorcycle to use of the clutch and control of the motorcycle at slow speeds. As confidence increases they're introduced to use of the transmission and corner negotiating techniques. Moving on to more demanding exercises students are taught how to avoid collisions through the correct application of emergency braking and counter steering techniques.

ya i took that one. it was very helpful. but it wasnt as thorough as the american one i dont think. it was 2 hours one night to get your basics down like how to move on the bike in general. then the next day was 8 hours of some time on braking, cornering, etc etc. then road test for lisence and ur done
