Those are the only legal reasons in Canada to permit the ownership of firearms

That only applies to restricted. You can own a non restricted for whatever reason you want - you think it looks cool, you want to use it as a dildo, whatever.

Additionally, possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm for self defence is recognized in our laws (Authorization to Carry), but that of course is likely restricted to political elites.

That's kind of where we were at, come to think of it, with the ATT's attached to our licenses.

No end of the world when that happened, was there...?
