Classic YEC Creationism is alive and well in Canada, the US, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, Turkey and to some extent in Europe.
It is true that there are YEC organizations in Canada, but my impression is that they are pretty innocuous. Their main focus seems to be on "creation weekends" and the occaisional conference with people from AiG, etc.

As far as I know, there is no threat to education.

Just to clarify, when I said "there is no threat to education", I meant that there have been no school boards trying to exclude evolution or include YEC/ID in the curriculum (to the best of my knowledge). A "threat" would be German troops massing on the border or a school board meeting with "evo vs creo" on the adgenda.
​
We do need to keep an eye out for those warning signs (and I intend to look into the tax-exempt status of those YEC organisations, too).
