Actually, in Canada the regs are not that clear. You must have a compass that operates "independently of the aircraft electrical system." More than a few builders have successfully argued that an internal backup battery (like in the Dynon D10 series), being internal to the EFIS, is independent of the aircraft electrical system.
MD-RA, however, has been directed to interpret the vague wording to mean that you require a whiskey compass in all aircraft, even those with dual AHARS.
There is no logic in beauracracy.
