I tried finding an unbiased source for that information, but due to the nature of the gun control debate it was pretty much impossible. The only things I found that were even remotely unbiased stated that Canada is very close to the US when it comes to gun ownersip per capita. Sometimes the figures were higher, and sometimes they were lower. One thing that almost every article did agree on was that Canada has one of the highest gun ownership per capita rates in the world.

So there are lots of guns in Canada, but we just don't talk about them much. Like I stated before - much of Canada is very rural and shotguns and rifles are used for protection from wildlife. Wolves and bears are a very real danger for a significant portion of the country. There are also vast pristine hunting grounds for sportsmen.

I suppose the difference comes down to owning guns for self-defense against other people. I don't have any hard figures on this one, but it's significantly less common to own a gun for urban self-defense in Canada than in the US.
