When we were in Watson Lake i was in a store that had ammo for sale, i asked if guns are so restricted then why is ammo available and the lady told me everyone there has guns. I didnt bring one into Canada, but a couple we met along the way went through the process and took one. We didnt need a gun, bear spray or even mosquito repellant for that matter.

I'm not sure I follow. Gun shops are common in Canada and gun ownership is not that far off of American numbers. Ammo is readily available. I think the confusion may be that restricted weapons like military grade rifles or hand guns are more difficult to legally acquire.

I think it's just a media thing. Many of our American friends are surprised when they find out that lots of Canadians own guns.
