The Canadian method is how the USGA did it 20 years ago, before they revised their system to make it work better. Going to a set number rather than so many strokes over par was found to make it more fair throughout the range.

Perhaps but since the idea is to be "equitable" as to you true skills as a golfer, if you are say a 10-15 HC and you post a 7 on a par 3 thats not really a reflection of you as a golfer, you just had a really bad hole and you have to post a QUAD, seems a little tough.
