According to Tom The Great :
I believe, gotta look it up, if you don't use gfci receptalces, you
are stuck with using two prong receptalces.
The NEC does not permit 3 prong outlets on ground-less circuits
_unless_ they're downstream of a GFCI (and labeled as such).
Yeah that is what I said, but I was wondering if you put in a GFCI
breaker, does that open you up for using 3 prong receptacles. Haven't
looked it up yet.

The CEC used to permit you to plug the third prong with silicone
goop, but not for some time.
