Check what bands the carriers support. There should be a Wiki. That'll tell you if they support 2G.

Not sure why you'd want it though.

No clue what that is.

Canada's a very broad place with many different telecom operators, so to give you an assertive statement on whether or not a technology is (still) being used would be difficult. 

 

Here's a map of Roger's network coverage by type http://www.rogers.com/consumer/wireless/network-coverage

While I dont live in Canada. I here Verizon wireless plans to kill 3G service in the next few years. They want to push the spectrum to 4G and 5G. I would guess your wireless providers are also looking in to doing that.

I remember AMPS 800 and in school we shorted a few pins on the cell phone and we could hear random convo's.

It was cool back in the day.
