Years ago, I got an ATIP back from Public Safety that broke down the number of registered firearms impacted by the OIC per province, and BC and Alberta represented the majority at roughly 30% each. Ontario was around 25%.

So, given the ASFCP's low uptake overall and the legal protection offered to Albertans by their provincial government, this is not a surprising result.

If anything, the only thing to be gleaned from these provincial numbers is the absolutely reprehensible lengths the Liberal Party will go to win votes in Quebec, because they always knew the ban's negative effects would be disproportionately felt by Canadians outside Quebec.
