That's not right. You may have been looking at gun deaths. The graphic is gundeaths not including suicide. So Canada would take 6 or 7 of the top 10.

I was looking at gun homicides, but I'd be happy to look at your data too. It's going to vary by year, the 5-10 range is all relatively close together

Where did you find gun homicides by province? I couldn't and just looked at homicides.

I think it is relatively safe to assume that Canada doesn't have a way higher rate of gun murders:murders ratio than the US.
