The big difference is that this is NOT the Dominion of Canada with a tradition of obedience to The Crown

correct.
And I am thankful for that.

Won't happen.

I agree - it'll be accomplished bit by bit, category by category, perhaps with more taxes and surcharges.
Some 'haters' are patient. Gun control in Kanada has been in the works for decades and has makes use
of attrition and different phases:

# registration of handguns
# federal license to buy
# prohibition of ownership of machine guns (with grandfathering, but owners can only sell to other
grandfathered owners, so eventually they will all die off)
# restriction of short-barrel semi-auto rifles/shotguns
# banning of high-cap mags (max 10rns for handgun, 5rnd for semi-auto rifles - no grandfathering)
# federal license to POSSESS or buy
# prohibition of short-barrel pistols, scary looking long guns(with grandfathering, but owners can only sell to other
grandfathered owners, so eventually they will all die off)
# registration of all long guns (10yrs and $2 billion, later they findally figure out it does no good and give up)

# not sure what might come next
