Questions re: Navigation for Analog-era (older) Pilots

Which leads to an interesting Chicken/Egg situation in Canada. In my area, if you’re GA IFR and your GPS goes out, ADF/VOR doesn’t do you much good because they decommissioned 90% of the NDBs and VORs in the area, basically if the GPS goes out you’re looking at radar vectors to a localizer or VMC as your only viable options.
